"1-2-3" (sometimes listed as "1, 2, 3") is a popular song by Gloria Estefan and her former band, Miami Sound Machine. It was written by Estefan and former band member Enrique "Kiki" Garcia and appears on the multi-platinum album Let It Loose.
Released as the fifth and final single from that album in the summer of 1988, "1-2-3" peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the band's seventh Top 10 hit.[1] In addition, the song became their fourth #1 hit on the Billboard adult contemporary chart.[2] On the Billboard R&B chart, "1-2-3" peaked at 54, and on the UK Singles Chart it peaked at #9.[2] The single version was essentially the same as the album version of the song, although it was slightly remixed to add more horns to the music and a different intro; this version was issued on Gloria Estefan Greatest Hits and The Essential Gloria Estefan.
By the time "1-2-3" was released a single in 1988, the song's co-writer Kiki Garcia had acrimoniously departed Miami Sound Machine. Garcia was quoted describing the situation in the band: "There is no Miami Sound Machine. There is Gloria and Emilio telling a bunch of hired musicians what to do."[2]
The lyrics of "1-2-3" detail the singer's desire to have a shy suitor approach her.
