Suave

Kiko Cibrian and Orlando Castro composed "Suave" for Luis Miguel's ninth studio album, Aries, released in 1993. According to Castro, Miguel initially turned the song down, but the composer later received a call from Cibrian with a reworked version that changed the singer's mind. The track was one of four dance numbers on the record, described as upbeat, brass-heavy and attitudinal, and its lyrics describe a seductive woman whose smile has bewitched the narrator, making her the woman of his dreams. Cibrian handled production of the song alongside Miguel himself.

The decision to move away from ballads came after the enormous success of Romance in 1991, an album of classic boleros that sold over seven million copies worldwide. Miguel did not want a follow-up that resembled it, saying he wanted to try his own music and forget a little about boleros that everyone knows. He began working with the album's composers a year before recording in a studio in 1992, insisting that the creation of an album had to be part of him or he would not be able to interpret it.

"Suave" was released as the album's third single in 1993 by WEA Latina and reached number nine on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in the United States, while topping the chart in Mexico according to Notitas Musicales. It won an award at the 1995 BMI Latin Awards, and Kiko Guerrero directed its music video, filmed in Acapulco, which features Miguel dancing on a beach with several women.
