Song history

"Tres Deseos" is an upbeat Latin dance song inspired by Colombian music, principally vallenato. It was the first promotional single released worldwide from the album Abriendo Puertas. In Japan, it was released as a CD maxi single. Remixes of the song were produced by Rosabel, and with their help the song successfully made it to number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The song was featured on the soundtrack for the film Dance with Me, which also featured Estefan's single Heaven's What I Feel. It become popular at Estefan's concerts as a medley with her song, Higher from the album Destiny. The song was used on the television program Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 7); actress Cloris Leachman used this song on the fifth night of the competition.

Critical reception

Music & Media wrote, "One of the more 'latin' tracks off the Abriendo Puertas album, which has Estefan exploring her origins, while not forgetting her international pop status. Tres Deseos is 100 percent pure undiluted salsa, just like the extra track, a traditional "son" called Farolito. It's sheer pleasure to hear Estefan indulge herself in her Cuban roots."[1]
