On May 8th, 1999, exactly 25 years ago, Martin topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts for the first time with his career-defining hit 'Livin' La Vida Loca.' The track would spend five weeks at #1, solidifying the 'Latin pop explosion' he ignited.
In addition to reaching the top in more than 20 countries, 'Livin' La Vida Loca' also hit #1 on nearly ten other U.S. Billboard charts including Pop Songs, Adult Pop Songs, and Top 40 Tracks.
The lyrics of 'Livin' La Vida Loca' detail a wild seductress who lures others into her tempestuous world. The music video directed by Wayne Isham features Martin and Croatian model Nina Moric in various escapades.
'Livin' La Vida Loca' was written by Draco Rosa and Desmond Child. Martin performed the song live for the first time at the 1999 World Music Awards, reflecting the energetic and seductive vibe of the track.
