I would go so far as to say that during the process of recording the song we actually made magic. For "Livin' la Vida Loca" I had the good fortune of working once again withDraco Rosa andDesmond Child. Although I had made several records, I quickly realized that working with Desmond Child is working at an entirely new level.[6]
In 2018, during an interview withAttitude, Martin told the magazine that the release of the song was not decided until he started working on "Be Careful (Cuidado Con Mi Corazón)" withMadonna: "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!"[7]
Columbia Records released "Livin' la Vida Loca" toradio stations on March 23, 1999, as the lead single from the album.[8] Afterwards, standard-length commercial formats were released in the United States on April 20, 1999.[9][10] It was included as the first track on Martin's fifth studio albumRicky Martin, released May 11, 1999, and the Spanish version was included as the eleventh track.[11] On July 5, three remixes were released as a CD single in Germany,[12] Italy,[13] Spain,[14] and the United Kingdom.[15][16][17]
