Miss Little Havana Songwriting Credits by Gloria Estefan

Estefan's name is on the sleeve, but the pen belongs mostly to other people. Pharrell Williams wrote nine of the thirteen tracks in whole or in part, and four of them (the title track, "I Can't Believe", "Heat" and "Make Me Say Yes") carry his name and no one else's. Estefan holds a writing credit on six tracks, and only four of those are music credits: "Say Ay", "So Good", "Right Away" and "Time Is Ticking". On "Wepa" and "Hotel Nacional" she is credited for words alone, with the music going to Emilio Estefan, Williams and Motiff. The last four tracks push her out of the writing entirely and hand it to the Miami session bench: Motiff, Black Dada, Danny Ponce, Adrian Santalla and Azriel Reckley. For a record titled after the neighborhood she grew up in, that is a thin authorship stake.
