Background
Into the Light followed her successful 1989 album Cuts Both Ways, and the near-tragic accident Estefan experienced during the "Get on Your Feet Tour". The theme of the title track was bouncing back from the darkness of disaster. The album received commercial success, and has sold 1.8 million copies in United States according to Nielsen Soundscan.[10]
