"Me Gustas Tal Como Eres" (transl. 'I like you just the way you are') is a song written by Juan Carlos Calderón and Luis Gómez-Escolar, produced by Calderón, and performed by Scottish singer Sheena Easton in a duet with Mexican singer Luis Miguel. It was released by EMI Latin as the lead single from her first Spanish-language album, Todo Me Recuerda a Ti (1984). The song was later included on Luis Miguel's studio album Palabra de Honor (1984).[1]

The song earned Best Mexican-American Performance at the 27th Grammy Awards,[2] becoming Easton's second Grammy win and Luis Miguel's first, making him the youngest Grammy winner at the time (at age 14).[3][4] The award sparked controversy among Mexican-American musicians and led to a protest.[2]
