Ricky Martin came out as gay on March 29, 2010 writing on his website: "I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."
He attended Sagrado Corazón School and was an average student. He participated in school extra-curricular activities and sang in the school choir, where he began to realize that his talent captivated the audiences. Through the encouragement of his father, he began to take voice lessons, and auditioned for television advertising spots.
Martin first achieved worldwide success with his selection to replace Ricky Melendez in the Latin boy band Menudo from 1984 until 1989. His meteoric ascent to fame started in Menudo's homebase, Caguas, site of his first concert. He signed with Sony in 1990.
After he left Menudo, he decided to continue his career. He moved to Mexico City where he started acting, first in theater in productions like Mamá ama el rock, and Los tenis Rojos with Angélica María and Angélica Vale. He starred in telenovelas such as Alcanzar una Estrella and performed in the music group Muñecos De Papel of that production. In 1994, he moved to Los Angeles, California. He received a role as bartender (Miguel Morez) in the American soap opera General Hospital.
Ricky established himself in Miami and connected with music creator Desmond Child, former Menudo band-mate Robi Draco Rosa and Puerto Rican agent Angelo Medina. With these 2 in tow, Ricky created hits like "María", "The Cup of Life", and "Livin' La Vida Loca". He sang "The Cup Of Life" during a World Cup broadcast that gave him worldwide exposure, but it was "Livin' La Vida Loca" which became a massive crossover hit, made him popular around the world and propelled him into the covers of Tiger Beat and many other major magazines worldwide.
One of Ricky's career high points was the recording of the Spanglish ballad "Cuidado" ("Be Careful") with Madonna and William Orbit. The original version was written with Patrick Leonard and the first demo remains just one of many unreleased Madonna songs.
Ricky was chosen, along with Félix Trinidad in 1999, to lead Puerto Rico's worldwide tourism campaign, both exemplifying Puerto Rico's youthfulness, enthusiasm and "never give up" character. In 2003, Martin announced that he and his agent, Angelo Medina, had parted ways. In February of 2004, Martin received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Premios Lo Nuestro in Miami.
Martin recently adopted three little girls from India. The Ricky Martin Foundation created a project called People For Children, which aims to eliminate the industry of sexual exploitation and trafficking of children worldwide. His first benefit was held in Mexico City on November 10, 2005.
On October 11, 2005 Martin came out with his first English language album since 2000's Sound Loaded and the tenth album of his career. Most of the songs on the album, called Life, were co-written by Martin. Martin feels that the album is one of his more personal albums, saying "I was really in touch with my emotions. I think this album is very multi-layered, just like life is. It's about feeling anger. It's about feeling joy. It's about feeling uncertainty. It's about cuping a feeling. It's about feeling. And all my emotions are part of this production." The album debuted at #6 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. The first single of the album, "I Don't Care" (Spanish version: “Qué Más Da”), featuring Fat Joe and Amerie, was Ricky’s first single since 2003's “Tal Vez.” He plans to release his next single called Drop It On Me.
Ricky Martin performed at the 2006 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony in Turin.

Ricky Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pues nunca me habló de ti
Pues tú llegaste y me cambiaste la ansiedad
Con mucho love and peace
Pues me haces reír, me haces llorar
A las demás discriminar
Es lo que me haces tú
En una cuerda floja caminar
Y por ti hasta matar
Es lo que me haces tú
Y yo no pensé que fuera a ser así
Mi cuerpo adicto a ti
Es lo que me haces tú
Uy, uy, uy
Y yo no pensé que fuera a ser así
Mi cuerpo adicto a ti
Eres tú
Shubi-ru-ru, bombón de azúcar
Shubi-ru-ru, bombón de azúcar
Shubi-ru-ru, bombón
Solo tú
Yo sé que a veces soy difícil de entender
Pero tú siempre me comprendes
Y cada vez que disfruto de tu presencia, esencia
Hace brillar tu ausencia
Cuando no estás
Pues me haces reír, me haces llorar
A las demás discriminar
Es lo que me haces tú
En una cuerda floja caminar
Y por ti hasta matar
Eres tú
Y yo no pensé que fuera a ser así
Mi cuerpo adicto a ti
Es lo que me haces tú
Uy, uy, uy
Y yo no pensé que fuera a ser así
Mi cuerpo adicto a ti

In "Bombón De Azúcar," Ricky Martin sings about the effects of falling deeply in love with someone. The lyrics convey the idea that love is a potent force that can cause a range of emotions: joy, sadness, obsession, and even madness.
The song begins with the singer using his voice to express his emotions to the city. He hasn't talked about his love for the person he's fallen for, but now he's shouting about it. This new relationship has changed him, taking away his anxiety and replacing it with love and peace.
The rest of the lyrics describe the rollercoaster of emotions caused by this love. The singer is so deeply in love that he is addicted to his partner's presence. They make him both laugh and cry but also make him discriminate against others. He even describes feeling like he is walking on a tightrope and would kill for this person.
Despite the difficulties of the relationship, the singer understands that his partner always understands him. The person's mere presence exudes an essence that makes them indispensable. However, the absence of this person makes everything dull, proving how deeply ingrained this love is.
Overall, the song's lyrics paint a picture of love as both powerful and tumultuous. The singer is willing to endure the highs and lows of his relationship, no matter what the cost.

simplemente billante, que demonios le paso a Ricky?.
Cristina Toledo
Y automáticamente me remonto a mi infancia, cuándo era una niñita y esta música se escuchaba en mi casa, de mis favoritas de Ricky, de las pocas que me gustan!
Esta deliciosa la música, la voz, los arreglos, todooooooo, cuándo aún valían la pena las melodías..... Los 90s la década de lo último bueno en música, después de ahí la mayoría no vale la pena recordar 😔😔😔
David antonio Dueñas maza
Es la verdad los 90's fue una gran epoca de la musica, igual me trae gratos recuerdos , nose que fue lo que le paso a la musica en general, desde el salvador un abrazo y feliz año nuevo😇😇😇😇
