"Mi Tierra" (My Homeland) is the first single released by American singer and songwriter Gloria Estefan. It was released as the first Spanish album, Mi Tierra and is written by Estefano based on inspirations by Estefan. The song is a tribute to Gloria's homeland Cuba—the principal reason for the making of the album. This song was first released in the United States and took Gloria to the Hot Latin Tracks top position. The song reached the No. 1 spot on the chart, and was her first No. 1 hit since the Spanish version of "Don't Wanna Lose You" in 1989. The song was also a hit on other markets (like the dance market), where it became Gloria's first Spanish single to ever reach the Top 5 of the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
