"Livin' la Vida Loca" is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin for his fifth studio album and English-language debut, Ricky Martin (1999). The song was written by Draco Rosa and Desmond Child, while the production was handled by the latter. It was released to radio stations by Columbia Records as the lead single from the album on March 27, 1999. A Latin pop and dance song with elements of salsa, surf, and ska, it is about an irresistible, particularly sinister, wild woman who lives on the edge, seducing others into her crazy world. The song received acclaim from music critics, who complimented its lyrics and danceable rhythm. It was ranked as the best 1990s pop song by Elle, and was listed among the Best Latin Songs of All Time by Billboard.

"Livin' la Vida Loca" was also commercially successful, reaching number one in more than 20 countries. It is considered to be Martin's biggest hit and one of the best-selling singles of all time. In the United States, it topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for five consecutive weeks, becoming Martin's first number-one single on the chart. Additionally, it broke several records on Billboard charts. It also spent eight consecutive weeks atop the Canada Top Singles chart and topped the country's year-end chart. In the United Kingdom, it debuted at number one and stayed there for three weeks, making Martin the first Puerto Rican artist in history to hit number one. It has received several certifications, including double platinum in the UK. The track was nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards.

The accompanying music video was directed by American director Wayne Isham and filmed in Los Angeles, California. It received a number of awards and nominations. At the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, it won a total of five awards and was nominated for several other categories, including Video of the Year, making Martin the first Latin artist in history to receive a nomination in this category. A Spanish-language version of "Livin' la Vida Loca" was recorded under the same title and reached the summit of the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in the United States. To promote the original version of the song, Martin performed it on many television programs and award shows, including the MTV Video Music Awards and the World Music Awards in 1999. It is generally seen as the song that began the "Latin pop explosion" and paved the way for a large number of other Latin artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Christina Aguilera, Marc Anthony, Santana, and Enrique Iglesias. Many bands and singers covered the song, and it has been featured in several films and video games.

Background and release

In February 1999, Ricky Martin performed his smash hit "The Cup of Life" at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards, which was greeted with a massive standing ovation and met with acclaim from music critics.[1] [2] [3] On October 22, 1998, CNN confirmed that Martin had started working on his first English language album, following the success of Vuelve.[4] On March 6, 1999, almost two weeks after his Grammy performance, Billboard revealed the lead single's name as "Livin' la Vida Loca" in an article and mentioned that it is set for release later that month.[5] Martin wrote about the recording of the song in his book:

In 2018, during an interview with Attitude, Martin told the magazine that the release of the song was not decided until he started working on "Be Careful (Cuidado Con Mi Corazón)" with Madonna: "This album was almost going to be released without 'Livin' la Vida Loca', but three days before I walked into the studio with Madonna, we were done with 'Livin' La Vida Loca', so I showed her what I was presenting – and she was like, 'Yep! I'm ready to go into the studio with you!"[6]

Columbia Records released "Livin' la Vida Loca" to radio stations on March 27, 1999, as the lead single from the album.[7] Afterwards, standard-length commercial formats were released in the United States on April 20, 1999.[8] It was included as the first track on Martin's fifth studio album Ricky Martin, released May 11, 1999, and the Spanish version was included as the eleventh track.[9] On July 5, three remixes were released as a CD single in Germany,[10] Italy,[11] Spain,[12] and the United Kingdom.[13] [14] [15]

Music and lyrics

Musically, "Livin' la Vida Loca" is a Latin pop and dance song with elements of salsa, surf, and ska, that features Latin percussion rhythms and horn riffs mixed with surf rock-inspired guitar riffs.[16] [17] [18] Suzy Exposito from Rolling Stone described the track as "salsa-rock fusion", and Marc Oxoby described it as an "energetic dance single" in his book, The 1990s.[19] [20] Larry Flick from Billboard named it a "rock-etched uptempo tune". During an interview with Digital Spy, Martin said that he has reworked the song several times for concerts, changing it "from heavy hardcore rock to being exclusively influenced by ska and it's been urban as well!"[21] According to the sheet music published by Alfred Publishing on Musicnotes.com, "Livin' la Vida Loca" is composed in the key of C minor with a groove of 140 beats per minute. Martin's vocals span from the low note of C to the high note of G4.[22] The construction includes a syncopated brass intro and a Spanish chorus.[23]

"Livin' la Vida Loca" was written by American musicians Draco Rosa and Desmond Child, with its production being handled by Desmond Child. Also, Spanish songwriter Luis Gómez Escolar joined the original version's lyricists to write the Spanish version. The original version of the song runs for a total of 4 minutes and 3 seconds,[9] and was recorded without using then-conventional recording studio equipment; instead, the track was created at Desmond Child's Gentlemen's Club Studio,[24] which uses a 169-track Pro Tools digital system.[25] The recording is also noted for its exceptional use of dynamic range compression to increase the track's perceived loudness.[26] Lyrically, "Livin' la Vida Loca", which translates to "Livin' the Crazy Life" in English,[27] [28] is about an irresistible, particularly sinister wild woman who lives on the edge, seducing others into her crazy world, with lyrics including, "Upside, inside out / She's livin' la vida loca / She'll push and pull you down / Livin' la vida loca".[29] Throughout the song, Martin sings about an evil seductress, who makes him go "dancing in the rain", and leaves him broke and alone in a "funky cheap hotel".[30]

Critical reception

"Livin' la Vida Loca" has been met with overwhelmingly positive reviews from music critics. Chuck Taylor from Billboard applauded the song, saying it is "so electrifying, so terrifically filled with life, that even folks at the retirement home down the street could get their groove on with couple spins", and described the song as a "frantically-paced, dance-ready track."[31] Also from Billboard, Leila Cobo ranked it as the best track of Ricky Martin (1999), calling it "Awesome". She questions, "Was there a person alive in 1999 whose jaw literally did not drop when they saw Ricky Martin strut and swivel in the video to the song whose title would come to exemplify an era and a lifestyle?"[23] In another article, she labeled it "an irresistible invitation to dance".[32] Also from the same magazine, Harley Brown wrote, "No matter what language it was in, 'La Vida Loca' was a bona fide hit."[28] In addition, Billboard staff praised the single, saying: "The big horns, the seductive bass, the debauchery in the lyrics, and Ricky Martin shaking his bon-bon: how could anyone resist this late '90s anthem penned by Robi Draco Rosa and Desmond Child?"[33]

Multiple sources have named "Livin' la Vida Loca" a "mega-hit", including The Hollywood Reporter,[2] Rolling Stone,[34] Billboard,[35] Los Angeles Times,[36] and Entertainment Tonight.[37] Liz Calvario‍ from Entertainment Tonight complimented the track, saying it is "part of pop culture history".[37] Martin was featured on the cover of Interview magazine in June 1999 because of the popularity of the song. In the featured article, he was interviewed by his friend Gloria Estefan about the rising wave of Latin music.[38] Agustin Gurza from Los Angeles Times celebrated the song, labeling it "a sensual smash hit that came to symbolize the frenzied cultural breakthrough of a long-marginalized minority".[39] Writing for LiveAbout.com, Bill Lamb gave the song a positive review, saying: "It's irresistibly sexy and nearly impossible to listen to without moving the body."[40] Both Katherine Keenan and Noa Amouyal from The Jerusalem Post described "Livin' la Vida Loca" as catchy, while the latter said it "was truly inescapable as the century drew to a close".[41] [42] An author of ABC labeled the track "an unprecedented classic" and named it Martin's "most characteristic song".[43]

In her review for O, The Oprah Magazine, Amanda Mitchell ranked the track as Martin's second-best song on her 2019 list.[44] In 2020, MTV Argentina ranked it as one of Martin's best songs,[45] and Luca Mastinu from Optimagazine listed it as one of Martin's five greatest hits.[46] Brittany Berkowitz and Elisa Tang from Good Morning America described "Livin' la Vida Loca" as an "epic dance song",[47] and Katrina Rees from CelebMix described it as infinitely infectious.[48] Metro Weeklys Randy Shulman complimented the track, labeling it "a song with an infectious hook and a sexy, growling delivery".[49] Alejandra Torres from ¡Hola! named its chorus "the greatest chorus of all time".[50] Rafly G. from TheThings called the song "an iconic piece of art". Greg Kot from Chicago Tribune described it as "the year's most ubiquitous hit single" and wrote: "It's the kind of tune that defines the word 'pop': a jolt of instant caffeine, with its fizzy combination of surf guitar, Latin percussion and strutting horns." He also acclaimed its "canny, genre-leaping arrangement, eye-popping production, and Latin-lover lyrics".[51]

Music video

Development and synopsis

The accompanying music video was filmed in Los Angeles, California, and directed by American director Wayne Isham,[117] [118] who had also directed the videos for Martin's previous singles "Vuelve", "The Cup of Life", and "La Bomba".[119] [120] The video cost US$500,000 making it one of the most expensive music videos ever made.[121] The visual was aired on March 25, 1999, on MTV,[122] and begins with a scene, showing a car hitting a fire hydrant on the sidewalk. Then, Martin is seen wearing a black shirt and pants, walking on stage in a nightclub and performing the song and dancing to it, backed by his band, playing horns, while a group of dancers and party-ready crowd are dancing to the song.

At night, a young wild woman, portrayed by Croatian model Nina Morić, sits next to Martin, as he drives a car. She lives the ultimate crazy life and drives him crazy too, and shimmies and dances nearby. Lying on a pale brown blanket, he wakes up in a cheap New York City motel, and the woman grabs his hand from the window and brings him out. They flirt and kiss, while they walk on the sidewalk, and then Martin takes his jacket off and they kiss while dancing in the rain. In one of the later scenes, Martin is distracted while driving causing him to veer in another lane, resulting in another car knocking out a fire hydrant. Several women take their clothes off and dance in the rain, which is similar to the lyrics of the song.[29] The video ends with Martin's performance on the stage.[123] [124] [125]

Reception

TheThings ranked "Livin' la Vida Loca" as the 10th most iconic pop music video from the 1990s.[126] Leila Cobo from Billboard gave the video a positive review, saying: "From the moment he sashayed up to the mic in 'Livin La Vida Loca' all dressed in black, and gave us that look, the Menudo alum became the most memorable and watchable drop-dead handsome guy in pop music."[127] Also from Billboard, Larry Flick described it as "high-tech" and "ultra-sexy", mentioning the fact that it had "gotten strong attention from video out-lets like MTV and VH1". Cristal Mesa from mitú named it Martin's best music video on her 2018 list,[128] and an author of Cultura Colectiva listed "Livin' la Vida Loca" among the "13 Videos to Appreciate Ricky Martin's Talent and Sickening Good Looks".[129] The music video has received a number of awards and nominations. At the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards, it was nominated for several categories, including Video of the Year, making Martin the first Latin artist in history to receive a nomination in this category.[130] [131] It won two primary awards for Best Pop Video and Best Dance Video,[127] and was voted three additional awards in the International Viewer's Choice categories,[132] making it rank among the videos with most wins in the history of the MTV Video Music Awards.[123] Since then, Martin has become the most awarded Latin artist of all time in the ceremony.[133]

The song became a hit in Japan and was covered itself by multiple Japanese artists, including Koda Kumi who recorded the song in 2019.[180] [181] On January 16, 2020, Cuban-born American singer Camila Cabello and English television host James Corden competed on The Late Late Show with James Corden in a singing battle to decide if music from 1999 or 2019 is better. Corden performed "Livin' la Vida Loca" and Cabello shimmied around the host while he performed the tune. Afterward, Cabello joked: "Okay, really impressive. Ricky Martin? OK boomer."[182] [183]

The 2000 album La Vida Mickey features re-make versions of Latin/pop songs with the voices of the Disney characters in the background singing along, and its title track, which is performed by Mark Lennon is a re-make of "Livin' la Vida Loca".[184] A version of the "Livin' la Vida Loca" performed by Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas (Donkey and Puss in Boots voice roles) is played at the end of the 2004 American animated comedy film Shrek 2,[185] which also appears on its soundtrack. The Guardian described their performance as exuberant and as of April 2007, this cover version and Murphy's cover of "I'm a Believer" have sold over 3.6 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[186] [187] The original Martin's song was also featured in the American live-action/animated adventure comedy film (2020),[188] the Mexican mystery thriller streaming television series Who Killed Sara? (2021),[189] and the Ubisoft video games Just Dance 4 (2012)[190] Far Cry 6 (2021).[191] A pop-punk version of the song was played in the action role-playing video game Gotham Knights (2022).[192]

Legacy and influence

Martin is regarded by the media as the "Original Latin Crossover King".[204] Angie Romero from Billboard wrote: "If you look up 'crossover' in the dictionary, there should be a photo of Ricky shaking his bon bon and/or 'Livin' la Vida Loca'."[205] Following his performance of "The Cup of Life" at the Grammys, and the success of "Livin' la Vida Loca" and Ricky Martin (1999), he opened the gates for many Latin artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Christina Aguilera, Marc Anthony, Santana, and Enrique Iglesias who released their crossover albums and followed him onto the top of the charts.[23] [39] [206] According to Entertainment Tonight, "Livin' la Vida Loca" paved the way for a large number of other Latin artists,[37] and is "credited as the song that helped other Latin artists break through to English-speaking markets".[207]

As believed by Spin, the song "lit the fuse for the Latin pop explosion of the '90s". Lucas Villa from Spin wrote about it: "When the world went loca for Ricky, he led the way for other Latin music superstars like Spain's Enrique Iglesias, Colombia's Shakira and Nuyoricans like Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to make their marks beyond the Spanish-speaking crowds."[208] He also described Martin as "a trailblazer in globalizing Latinx culture" in his Grammy.com article.[209] Also from Grammy.com, Ernesto Lechner described "Livin' la Vida Loca" as "the manifesto for all the fun-loving, tropically tinged Latin hit singles that followed", stating that Martin led "the Latin music explosion that took over the U.S. at the tail end of the '90s".[210] According to The Independent, the single is "widely regarded as the song that began the first Latin pop explosion".[211] Peoples Jason Sheeler credited it as the song that "led the way for the late-'90s so-called 'Latin explosion' that dominated pop music into the new century: Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Marc Anthony, and Jennifer Lopez".[212]

Leila Cobo named the track one of the genre's biggest singles of the past 50 years in his 2021 book Decoding "Despacito": An Oral History of Latin Music.[213] She also wrote about his impact in "Whenever, Wherever" chapter: "Ricky Martin's phenomenal success opened the door for a string of Latin artists who waved the flags of their heritage, but who sang in English."[214] Additionally, she compared Martin's song with "Despacito" in one of her Billboard articles: "'Livin', like 'Despacito', became not just a global hit but a cultural phenomena that transcended all barriers of language and nationality."[72] In another article, she described it as the song that "ignited the late-'90s Latin explosion".[215] Also from Billboard, Gary Trust wrote: "The song helmed a Latin pop boom in the U.S., with Jenner Lopez, Marc Anthony and others crossing over, as well."[216] Writing for LiveAbout.com, Bill Lamb credited the song as "the record which kicked off a wave of major Latin performers hitting the pop mainstream".[66] During an interview with mitú in 2021, Colombian singer-songwriter Maluma told the channel about Latin Music globalization: "This has been work that started with Ricky Martin's 'Livin' La Vida Loca' and Shakira like 15 or 20 years ago."[217] Puerto Rican rapper and singer Wisin has described its music video as the video of another artist that has impacted him the most.[218] Colombian singer-songwriter J Balvin referenced "Livin' la Vida Loca" on his song "Reggaetón" (2018) since Martin "gave as clear a depiction of his actualized artistic dreams".[219]
