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.

Vente Pa' Ca
Ricky Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu descanso está en la cama de mis pies
Ven te cuento, un, dos, tres
Mis pasitos son descansos sin estrés
Dime si hay otro lugar
Para dejar mi corazón (mi corazón)
Ay, tienes razón
Si tú quieres nos bañamos, si tú quieres nos soplamos
Pa' secarnos lo moja'o
Si tu boca quiere beso, y tu cuerpo quiere de eso
Arreglamos
Si tú quieres un atajo y lo quieres por abajo
Yo te llevo bien calla'o
Vente pa' 'ca
Vente pa' 'ca
Vente pa' 'ca, ah, auh
Enamorados, qué calor
Nos comimos boca a boca en el sillón
Fue por hambre, fue por sed
Me bebiste a fondo blanco con tu piel
Dime si hay otro lugar
Para dejar mi corazón (mi corazón)
Ay, tienes razón
Mejor ¿por qué no, nos vamos los dos?
Si tú quieres nos bañamos, si tú quieres nos soplamos
Pa' secarnos lo moja'o
Si tu boca quiere beso, y tu cuerpo quiere de eso
Arreglamos
Si tú quieres un atajo y lo quieres por abajo
Yo te llevo bien calla'o
Vente pa' 'ca
Vente pa' 'ca
Vente pa' 'ca, ah, auh
(All right, all right, baby)
(Pretty boy, dirty boy, baby)
Como me duele, me seduce
Y cuando le apagan las luces
Ella se luce y yo se lo hago otra vez
(Otra vez) ey, yeh
Llevo tanto tiempo mirando reaccionar
Dime que tas esperando, baby, no hay demora
Pégate a mí, bien rico a mí
No dejes que pasen las horas
Tu booty me arrebata, tu sonrisa me atrapa
Quiero tenerte siempre y no dejarte sola
Esta historia no se acaba
Hoy vamos pa' mi cama
Esta noche tú te enamoras
Dime de una vez
Si es que al lado tuyo yo estaré
Todo lo que pidas te daré
Esta noche tú te enamoras
Si tú quieres nos bañamos, si tú quieres nos soplamos
Pa' secarnos lo moja'o
Si tu boca quiere beso, y tu cuerpo quiere de eso
Arreglamos
Si tú quieres un atajo y lo quieres por abajo
Yo te llevo bien calla'o
Vente pa' 'ca
Vente pa' 'ca
Vente pa' 'ca, ah, auh
Vente pa' 'ca
Vente pa' 'ca
Vente pa' 'ca, ah, auh
The lyrics of "Vente Pa' Ca" by Ricky Martin featuring Maluma expresses the desire for two people to escape their current lives and spend time together in each other’s arms. The song opens with an invitation to come and unwind in the safety of the singer’s bed. Throughout the song the lyrics depict the characters taking steps to escape, as they entertain the idea of indulging in a sexual encounter that is tempting to them. The chorus is incredibly catchy and alludes to the idea that the two of them together would be better than anything else, they would do things they had never done before and leave their worries behind.
The first verse touches on the idea that they seek solace and peace, expressed by asking if there was another place the singer's heart could rest, followed by the conclusion that it would be best for both of them to leave. The second verse alludes to them building on their current feelings with the line "we ate each other's mouths in the armchair", the desire to explore and experience their own sensuality was too much to resist. The theme of the song is essentially, two people who want to let go of their problems and explore themselves completely in the arms of another person.
Overall, the lyrics of "Vente Pa’ Ca" by Ricky Martin featuring Maluma, are about unapologetically indulging in the taboo and releasing all inhibitions to escape from day-to-day life.
