Synopsis

Gloria Estefan plays a version of herself at Miami's Fontainebleau Hotel, where she tries to catch the eye of a handsome, Speedo-clad stranger. Her efforts are complicated by a persistent, awkward admirer who follows her around the resort. Beach scenes, hotel corridors, poolside encounters, and playful band performances give the video a bright, comic 1980s feel. A second video for the song takes a radically different approach, placing Estefan among costumed, dancing alley cats in a theatrical setting.
