Mi destino (Eng.: My Destiny) is the fifteenth album from Mexican pop music singer and actress Lucero. It was released on 21 July 2000.
This album is the second time in Lucero's career where she writes her own material; she wrote the Spanish version of the first single "Mi Destino Eres Tú" (My Destiny Is You). Eventually the song went #1 in Mexico powered by the telenovela of the same name, starring herself, Jorge Salinas and Jaime Camil. She also collaborated some lyrics for the track "Arde" (Burn) and did the Spanish version of "Vamos a Cantar" (Everything is Right...) which was the official song for the 2000 Mexican Teletón.
It is also the first time that more than two producers work on a single album of the artist. On this project the singer also includes two songs completely sung in English and according to the album's booklet: "in a New York English pronunciation". Rafael Pérez-Botija worked again with Lucero, this time with five tracks (written and produced by him). Ric Wake produced "Tuya" (Yours), "Mi Destino Eres Tú", "Nadie Me Quiere Como Tú" and "Vamos a Cantar".
Jean B. Smit did "Llegarás" (You'll Come), which was supposed to be the first single for the album, since the telenovela that Lucero was going to shoot had this name initially, but since the title of the novela was changed to "Mi Destino Eres Tú," the track was not released as a single.
"No Puedo Más" (English and Spanish versions) were produced by the team of Jimmy Greco and Ray Contreras (Jimmyray Productions). Ricardo "Eddy" Martínez worked as producer for "Arde".
"Nadie Me Quiere Como Tú" (Nobody Loves Me Like You), "No Puedo Más" (Can't Take it Anymore) and "Cada Latido" (Each Heartbeat) were also released as singles.
This album was the first studio album recorded by Lucero on her new label at the time Sony and the sales eventually reached gold status in Mexico (150,000 copies sold).
