Background and release
In December 2019, Vives and Martin participated in a charity gala together with actress and producer Eva Longoria, and Vives said that he had anticipated recording a song with Martin. Finally, they had made plans to work together on a song and it was nearly finished when the coronavirus pandemic happened and although it was recorded in early 2020,[1] the pandemic prevented the release.[2][3][4] In an interview with Billboard, Martin told the magazine: "It was a party song. We couldn't release it at that point."[4]
On February 11, 2021, Primera Hora reported that Martin and Vives had recorded a song together and were seen in Piñones and El Escambrón, filming a music video.[2] Four days later, Guacamouly published several photos from the two artists on the set of filming. The photos showed Martin wearing a black T-shirt, black sneakers, and denim jeans, with a military print mask, and the two danced to the rhythm of the music.[5] On February 17, 2021, it was announced that the song is dedicated to the victims of the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting.[6] On March 25, 2021, Billboard confirmed that Vives and Martin were set to perform at the 2021 Latin American Music Awards.[7] Vives told People about "Canción Bonita":
It's a great opportunity to make such a special song with Ricky. In 1987, he was finishing up with Menudo and starting his career as a soloist. During that time, we had the opportunity of seeing each other a lot and got to know each other.[8]
Also, Martin told Hola News about the song: "Carlos' love for Puerto Rico is genuine and this gives an authentic value to the lyrics."[9] On April 12, 2021, Vives and Martin revealed the song's title as "Canción Bonita", shared the artwork, and announced that it would be released the following day.[10][11][12] The song was released for digital download and streaming by Sony Music Latin on April 13, 2021,[13] as the lead single from Vives' sixteenth studio album, Cumbiana II, marking the first collaboration between Vives and Martin.[4] "Canción Bonita" was included as the sixth track on the album, released May 13, 2022.[14]
Music and lyrics
Musically, "Canción Bonita" is a Spanish language vallenato and pop song,[8][15][16] written by Colombian record producer and musician Andrés Torres, Argentine musician Rafa Arcaute, Martin, Vives, and Colombian musician Mauricio Rengifo. Its production was handled by Torres, Rengifo, and Arcaute,[17] and the song runs for a total of 2 minutes and 49 seconds.[13] The song combines musical styles from Colombia and Puerto Rico, with it featuring Vives' tropical sounds and Martin's Puerto Rican beats.[8][18][15] Lucas Villa from mitú analyzed that the song is where "[a] bit of vallenato from Vives' Colombia meets the reggaeton-pop of Martin's Puerto Rico",[19] and an author of Los 40 said it "is not only romantic, but also has a rhythm that will make you dance".[20] Writing for Monitor Latino, Josh Mendez stated that the song "mixes vallenato, with a very light rhythmic base of the urban genre, and in some moments there are also hints of other Latin rhythms".[21]
Lyrically, "Canción Bonita" which translates to "Pretty Song" in English,[1][4] is a declaration of love for Puerto Rico, and serves as a true celebration of the island and a love letter to it.[9][22] The track was described as "happy" and a "party song".[4] The lyrics mix the desire to start over with that of the summer and become synonymous with dance. The desire to travel to exotic and colorful places is also emphasized, and Puerto Rico is the preferred destination of this trip with lyrics including, "Y si tengo que escoger / Me quedo, me quedo contigo / Y si yo vuelvo a San Juan / Yo bailo, yo bailo contigo" (And if I have to choose / I stay, I stay with you / And if I go back to San Juan / I dance, I dance with you).[18][23] Additionally, it is about the moment when the special person arrives and you know that it is with them that you want to risk your life,[21] you would choose the same person a thousand times to spend the rest of your days,[24] and in general, you know you are with the right person.[25] It talks about how incredible it is to find your soulmate in the same person every day.[26]
Critical reception
Upon release, "Canción Bonita" was met with universal acclaim from music critics. Leila Cobo from Billboard gave the song a positive review, saying: "A lilting, danceable track that celebrates Vives' Colombian and Martin's Puerto Rican roots, it's an invitation to celebrate, and it's a celebration of Puerto Rico, down to the video shot in Old San Juan."[4] She also described the track as "joyful" and "stellar".[15] Also from Billboard, Griselda Flores complimented the track, labeling it "[an] uplifting anthem".[27] An author of RCN Televisión called the track "a song full of love, joy, flavor and friendship".[28] In his review for Mitú, Lucas Villa said that like it is suggested by the song's title, "this collaboration lives up to its name with both superstars singing the most beautiful lyrics about the island. These Latin pop titans give a soaring performance that can carry their lovely message to the higher heavens."[19] Writing for People, Tomás Mier praised "Canción Bonita", saying it is a "perfect mix of Martin's pop feel and Vives' unmistakable tropical sounds". He also described it as "the perfect introduction to a post-pandemic life where listeners can move their hips and dance to the music".[8] BeLatina staff described the track as "a joyous, wholesome, and sunshiney song that makes you happy".[29]
An author of La Nación wrote, "Ricky Martin and Carlos Vives joined their talents in 'Canción Bonita'." He added: "In this new musical adventure, the consecrated voices of Latin music embody a powerful encounter of sounds typical of Colombia and Puerto Rico in a single song."[22] Los 40's Naomi Fernandez gave the song a positive review, saying it is "a Latin proposal, soft, danceable and full of good energy in which the tropical sounds of Carlos Vives are mixed with the more pop sound of Ricky Martin".[30] Aitana Alonso from Cadena Dial acclaimed the energies of the two artists together that "couldn't be more positive" and described the single as "a Caribbean theme that invites us to dance and wear out all the joy in our body".[31] Also from Cadena Dial, Noelia Bertol ranked it as one of "Ricky Martin six collaborations that have us moving the skeleton", labeled it "[a] very powerful collaboration", and said that it's "not only beautiful but also catchy".[32] In another article, she listed the track among his ten "songs that brighten up summers".[33] Monitor Latino's Josh Mendez celebrated the song's "strong impact", saying it "will make those who listen to dance and enjoy".[21] In another article, he stated: "This urban-vallenato production is happy, pleasant to the ear and quite danceable."[34] Also from Monitor Latino, Alpha González labeled it "a song with a particular rhythm and catchy lyrics" and stated that "a lot of people used it to set the mood for their vacations".[35]
