Millie has a very soft, low and angelic singing voice when she sang. Corretjer and her music mainly became well known in Puerto Rico, Latinamerican countries, Mexico (were she lived for six months) and the United States.
In 2000, Oscar De La Hoya recorded his first music album. In the studio, while trying to record songs for his album, De La Hoya was finding it difficult to sing with more passion. To demonstrate passionate singing, his producer Rudy Perez showed him "Una Voz en el Alma", one of Corretjer's music videos from the previous album that he had produced for Millie. De La Hoya asked for the name of the singer in the video, and the producer replied that she was a singer and actress named Millie Corretjer, who had previously worked with him.
De La Hoya at the time, asked that Corretjer be the model on his next music video. After meeting each other on an EMI convention in Texas, Corretjer and De La Hoya fell in love and began dating. Corretjer and De La Hoya were married on October 5, 2001, in a secret ceremony in San Juan.
Millie made an appearance in an Oscar video "Para Que" and years later Oscar did the same in Millie's latest album "En Cuerpo y Alma" for the song video "En Cuerpo y Alma".
On December 29, 2005, Corretjer gave birth to Oscar Gabriel De La Hoya Corretjer in San Juan, Puerto Rico. On May 5, 2007 in Las Vegas, just one hour after the De La Hoya-Mayweather fight was over, in Oscar's locker room, Corretjer revealed to De La Hoya that she was three months pregnant with their second baby. Their second child, a girl, named Nina Lauren Ninette De La Hoya Corretjer, was born on December 29, 2007, on Oscar Gabriel's second birthday.

Pensando en tu adiós

Millie Corretjer’s song “Regresa” is about the pain and yearning of waiting for someone to return. The song begins with the singer feeling the fall of rain around her while missing her loved one who has left. She questions if they will return. There’s a storm inside her heart and her body is bursting with pain from thinking about the goodbye. In the chorus, she pleads for her love to return to her, to hear what she feels in her soul, and asks if they will come back soon. She cannot fathom the calmness of life if they are not there. She proceeds to encourage herself saying she still retains hope that they will return soon.
The second verse of the song speaks to her losing her sanity from longing and hoping for someone that she loves. She awakens all her senses and melts to the sound of their voice.

The song ends with the chorus and expresses the need for her love to come back. Corretjer’s “Regresa” is a song that many can relate to as it speaks to the raw emotions people experience when they are missing someone they love.
