"Livin' la Vida Loca" (English: Livin' the Crazy Life) is a song by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin. It was released in 1999 from Martin's self-titled debut English album. The song was composed by Desmond Child and Draco Rosa and topped the charts during 1999. It received various Grammy nominations and helped Ricky Martin obtain enormous success inside the United States and worldwide. It is Martin's signature song.
The song is generally seen as the song that began the Latin pop explosion of 1999 and made the transition of other Latin artists (first Jennifer Lopez, Selena, and Enrique Iglesias, then later Shakira, Thalía and Paulina Rubio) into the English-speaking market easier. Before this time, most non-Latino Americans had never heard of Ricky Martin until what CNN reported was a show-stopping performance of "La Copa de la Vida" at the 1999 Grammy Awards show, which became a catalyst in bringing Latin pop to the forefront of the U.S. music scene.The song was awarded "Pop Song of the Year" at the 2000 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards. A cover version by Antonio Banderas and Eddie Murphy was featured in the film Shrek 2. "Livin' la Vida Loca" was Ricky Martin's first number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, remaining at number one in the U.S. for five weeks and ranking at #10 on the year-end charts for 1999. The single was certified Gold on May 15 and Platinum on June 4, for sales over one million copies in the U.S. alone.
