Ricky Martin Releases 'Vida' For The 2014 World Cup

Ricky Martin is bringing life into the 2014 World Cup with the new single “Vida.”

On Tuesday, the Puerto Rican star released the official video for the new anthem hat will be included in the Official FIFA World Cup album, “One Love, One Rhythm.” The song was written by Elijah King, who worked closely with Martin to record the final version of the track.

The song’s lyrics pay tribute to the international soccer tournament’s ability to bring people from “every nation” together to celebrate and enjoy “la vida buena” (the good life). The video was filmed in Rio de Janeiro and was directed by Kátia Lund and Lívia Gama of Bossa Nova Films.

“I had a lot of fun flying to and shooting in Brazil,” Martin said. “It’s an incredible feeling to have had the opportunity to participate in a global initiative like SuperSong. I’m very excited to finally be able to sing “Vida” and share this special song with the world.”

Looking quite relaxed in shorts and a tank, Ricky sings along the beaches of the Brazilian city with approximately 100 extras — kids, dancers, models, samba dancers and more that were carefully chosen to represent the diversity of the Brazilian people.
