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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me tiene loco esa mujer
Si la abrazo tiemblo como un papel
Ya no sé que hacer, ayúdame
Corazón por favor
Quítala de mi cabeza
Y volvamos hacia atrás
Corazón dile adiós
Y ya no le des más vueltas
O nos vamos a marear
Con su amor, con su amor mortal
Corazón no vuelvas más con ella
Corazón no seas pasional
Ella es fuego lento besándome
Que le voy a hacer, ayúdame
Corazón por favor
Quítala de mi cabeza
Y volvamos hacia atrás
En soledad
Corazón dile adiós
Y ya no le des más vueltas
O nos vamos a marear
Con su amor, con su amor mortal
Corazón, basta ya de tonterías
Corazón olvídala o llorarás, yeah
Si la abrazo tiemblo como un papel
Ya no sé que hacer, ayúdame
Corazón por favor quita la de mi cabeza
Y volvamos hacia atrás
En soledad
Corazón dile adiós
Y ya no le des más vueltas
O nos vamos a marear
Con su amor, yeah yeah
Corazón, basta ya de tonterías

In "Corazon," Ricky Martin sings about a woman who has captured his heart so deeply that he is pleading with his own heart to let go of her. He begs his heart not to return to her because she has made him crazy with love. He confesses that when he embraces her, he trembles like a piece of paper and doesn't know what to do. He asks his heart to help him forget about this woman, and he wants to go back to when he was alone. The chorus repeatedly asks his heart to let go of her and not to be passionate about her because she is a slow-burning fire that will consume him.
The verses continue with the same theme, with the suggestion that Martin is choosing between his head and his heart. His heart is telling him to stay with her even though he knows he shouldn't. And when he tries to embrace someone else, he is unable to because his heart is consumed with her. Martin concludes the song by urging his heart to stop being foolish and forget about her, otherwise, he will end up crying.

Aquí va mi confesión
Antes de ti no fuí un santo
He pecado como no
Pero eso es cosa del pasado
Desde que llegaste tu
Lanzaste al aire la moneda
Fuera cara o fuera cruz
Ganabas como quieras
Conocerte fue un disparo al corazón
Me atacaste con un beso a sangre fría
Y yo sabía
Que era tan letal la herida que causó
Que este loco aventurero se moría
Y ese día comenzó
Tanto amor con un disparo al corazón
Cuántas noches de pasión
Cuántas mañanas tan vacías
Un error tras otro error
En estas sabanas tan frías
Desde que llegaste tú
Lanzaste al aire la moneda
Fuera cara o fuera cruz
Ganabas como quieras
Conocerte fue un disparo al corazón
Me atacaste con un beso a sangre fría
Y yo sabía
Que era tan letal la herida que causó
Que este loco aventurero se moría
Y ese día comenzó
Tanto amor con un disparo al corazón
No entendí cómo paso
Con un la destreza
De un buen franco tirador
Cada una de tus balas
En el alma me pegó
Conocerte fue un disparo al corazón
Me atacaste con un beso a sangre fría
Y yo sabía
Que era tan letal la herida que causó
Que este loco aventurero se moría
Y ese día comenzó
Tanto amor con un disparo al corazón
