Cuban-American pop star Gloria Estefan has claimed she has psychic abilities where she has a 'certainty about something.'

In her new Time to Walk episode for Apple Fitness+, the Latin singer revealed she has "a psychic ability."

She explained on the Apple podcast throughout her life, she's gotten "these flashes" where she'd have "this certainty about something, that some people might call a psychic ability."

Speaking of Miami Sound Machine's success, The Don't Wanna Lose You singer added: "And I kept getting this recurring feeling that we're going to be famous all over the world."

At that time she was getting those feelings, Estefan says, the group were "a little gig band."

The Vivo actress, whose style has changed over the year, explained: "One night, I ventured to tell Emilio [Estefan - her husband] and he's going, 'Really?' I go, 'I don't know how, I don't know when, but I'm just certain. In fact, I think we're going to be famous outside the U.S. before we ever are famous here.'

The 66-year-old celebrity added: "One day, we're rehearsing in our garage and all of a sudden, 'Dr. Beat' comes on the radio and we go, 'What?' We’re jumping up and down like fools going, 'How did this happen?'"

Estefan continued they found out somehow the song had been exported to Europe through the record pools.

It was No. 1 in Holland, top 10 in England, and "had come backwards, and the radio station in Miami had then played it because it was at the top of the charts in Europe.”

All these years later, Estefan is now a singer, actress, and businesswoman.

She's an eight-time Grammy Award winner, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, and VH1 and Billboard have named her one of the Top 100 greatest artists of all time. She has also previously collaborated with Nat King Cole and has continued with her incredible career despite a car accident.

Estefan also touched on her and her husband's determination to keep their Latin sound in the conversation.

She said when they were already working on Conga, they had to convince a record company to let them record in English.

The singer explained: "We had the material. We knew we could do it, so we're pitching our idea and the execs that were there at the time, they're going, 'You can't compete on a worldwide level. This is a one-shot deal with 'Dr. Beat.'

"It was a phenomenon but, if you really want to cross over, you got to get rid of the percussion. You got to get rid of the horns. You got to change your name.' And Emilio and I are looking at him going, 'Really? That's who we are.'"

Estefan added, "So, if that's who we are, that's who we want to be a success as, not water down our culture or our sound or our music just to try to be someone else.' I go, 'If I do that, and we're a success, I'm not going to be happy the rest of my life. We know this going to work.'"

Her instincts were right, so maybe she is psychic.

Estefan said Conga was the song that "came through nationally for us in the States and, sure enough, it became one of our biggest-selling albums in history."
