Gloria! Songwriting Credits by Gloria Estefan

Strip out the four remixes and Gloria! is eleven songs, and Estefan herself is a credited writer on five of them: "Oye", "Real Woman", "Don't Let This Moment End", "Touched by an Angel" and "Cuba Libre". Her husband Emilio Estefan Jr. is on seven, and Lawrence Dermer, who wrote "Feelin'" and "I Just Wanna Be Happy" outright, is on six. The lead single is the odd one out: "Heaven's What I Feel" is credited to Kike Santander alone, and it was written for Celine Dion before Estefan took it. Nothing here is a cover, which is worth saying about a dance album, since the genre usually leans on borrowed songs. Even the two Spanish-language tracks are original: "Corazón Prohibido" is Santander's own reworking of his English lyric with Estefan, not a translation of somebody else's hit. Wyclef Jean is the only outside writer on the record, and only because he wrote and performed his own rap on "Don't Release Me".
