Following the success of "Music of My Heart", "No Me Dejes De Querer" was a hit for Estefan and she won her first Latin Grammy Award in the category of Best Music Video at the first ceremony celebrated for these awards in September 2000. "No Me Dejes de Querer" became her first Spanish language-song to enter the 'Billboard' Hot 100, and is also her highest-charting Spanish-language song on that chart.
Composition
For her album 'Alma Caribea', Estefan, her husband Emilio Estefan Jr., and singer Robert Blades incorporated various Latin music styles from the islands of the Caribbean. The song "No Me Dejes De Querer" brought together tropical music and Latin music to form "tropical Latin". The rhythm of the song switches between Afro-Cuban clave and non-clave Latin beats. The song carries a feeling of salsa and mambo dancing. The instruments include acoustic guitars, a horn section, and Latin percussion.
