In 1991, the RIAA recognized the high sales for his 1991 album Romance, itself being the third best-selling music album in Mexico, and one of the best-selling Spanish language albums of all time. He was the first Latin artist to have been awarded two Platinum certified Spanish-language albums in the United States with ‘‘Romance’’ and ‘‘Segundo Romance’’ the latter earning him 35 platinum records throughout Central and South America. He is also recognized by Billboard, as the artist with the most top 10 hits on the Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart. His album Complices was released in 2008 and peaked at No.10 on the Billboard 200; it is the highest position a fully Spanish composed album has reached. His most recent album ¡México Por Siempre! was released in 2017, and it earned him his second No. 1 on the Billboard Regional Mexican Albums and achieved double platinum status.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No me importa en que forma
Ni como, ni donde, pero junto a ti
Toda una vida te estaría mimando
Te estaría cuidando como cuido mi vida
Que la vivo por ti
Pero siempre, siempre
Que eres en mi vida
Ansiedad, angustia y desesperación
Toda una vida me estaría contigo
No me importa en que forma
Ni como, ni donde, pero junto a ti
No me cansaría de decirte siempre
Pero siempre, siempre
Que eres en mi vida
Ansiedad, angustia y desesperación
Toda una vida me estaría contigo
No me importa en que forma
Ni como, ni donde, pero junto a ti
No me importa en que forma
Ni como, ni donde, pero junto a ti
No me importa en que forma
Ni como, no donde, pero junto a ti
The lyrics of Luis Miguel's song Toda Una Vida express a profound commitment to love that lasts a lifetime. The singer declares that he would spend his whole life with his beloved, regardless of the form, place, or circumstances. He promises to cherish and care for her, like he cares for his own life. He would never tire of telling her that she means everything to him, despite the anxiety, anguish, and desperation that love may bring. The repetition of the line "no me importa en que forma, ni como, ni donde, pero junto a ti" emphasizes the singer's determination to be with his love under any circumstances, emphasizing the depth of his devotion.
The passion and devotion expressed in the song reflect a common theme of love songs in Latin American music, where love is often portrayed as all-consuming and eternal. The song's melody and instrumentation are also typical of the bolero genre, which emerged in Cuba in the late 19th century and spread through Latin America in the mid-20th century. Boleros are slow-tempo romantic songs often accompanied by guitar, piano, and strings and characterized by their sentimental lyrics and melodies.
