Greatest Hits Vol. II is the follow-up to Estefan's first English hits album ( Best of Gloria Estefan was released only in Europe). The album includes most of her English single releases, spanning her albums Mi Terra (1993) up to Gloria! (1998). It also includes the 1999 single "Music of My Heart" with *NSYNC.
The compilation includes three new songs and one new remix. "You Can't Walk Away from Love" was released as the first single from the album and was featured on the 2001 film Original Sin starring Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie. "Out of Nowhere" was released as the album's second single. "Y-Tu-Conga", a remix of Estefan's single "Conga, was released as the album's third single. The final new song included is "I Got No Love". The album also includes "If We Were Lovers", which is the English version of Estefan's 1993 hit Spanish single, "Con Los Años Que Me Quedan". While the Spanish version was included on Mi Tierra , the English version of the song was only promotionally released and had not been made commercially available prior to the release of Greatest Hits Vol. II.
Estefan's English singles "It's Too Late", "Cherchez La Femme", "Higher", "Cuba Libre", and "Don't Let This Moment End" were not included on the album. "Don't Let This Moment End" was initially included, but was removed on the final track listing.
