Destiny Songwriting Credits by Gloria Estefan

Estefan carries a writing credit on seven of the eleven tracks, but on two of them the credit is only half the song. The sleeve splits words from music on I'm Not Giving You Up and Steal Your Heart: she wrote the lyrics, and every note is by Flavio Enrique Santander Lora, the Colombian composer who had just written the whole of Abriendo Puertas for her. Only Path of the Right Love and Along Came You (A Song for Emily) are hers outright. Diane Warren appears on four songs, one of them, Show Me the Way Back to Your Heart, written entirely by Warren with no Estefan involvement at all. The copyright line on I Know You Too Well is dated 1990, six years before release, so an Estefan and Warren song sat unused through three albums before it landed here. Four tracks carry no Estefan credit whatsoever. Lawrence Dermer wrote Higher alone, split The Heart Never Learns with bassist Jorge Casas, and shared You'll Be Mine (Party Time) with Emilio Estefan Gómez and Clay Ostwald, which gives Dermer four writing credits, the same count as Warren. Emilio produced all eleven tracks and wrote two of them.
