"Suave" (transl. "Smooth")[1] is a song by Mexican singer Luis Miguel from his ninth studio album, Aries (1993). The song was composed by Kiko Cibrian and Orlando Castro with the former handling its production along with the artist. It is a dance number in which the singer describes a woman who bewitches him and becomes the woman of his dreams. The song received positive reactions from two music critics. It was acknowledged as an award-winning song at the 1995 Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI) Latin Awards. Commercially, the song reached number nine on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in the United States. Its music video was directed by Kiko Guerrero and filmed in Acapulco, Mexico, and features Miguel dancing in a beach with several women.
"Suave" has been covered by Puerto Rican singer Jerry Rivera in 1995 as a salsa track and Mexican entertainer Diego Boneta in 2021 as part of the soundtrack for the second season of Luis Miguel: The Series (2018). Rivera's version peaked at numbers 16 and one on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Tropical Airplay charts in the US, respectively. The cover was nominated in the category of Tropical Song of the Year at the 8th Lo Nuestro Award in 1996.
