She's All I Ever Had

Background and release

In 1998, Ricky Martin released his fourth studio album Vuelve. The album experienced commercial success, spending 26 weeks atop the US Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. "La Copa de la Vida" was released as the second single from the album, and became the official song of the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France. The song topped the charts in more than 30 countries, and Martin performed it at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards, which was greeted with a massive standing ovation and met with acclaim from music critics. On October 22, 1998, CNN confirmed that Martin had started working on his first English language album, following the huge success of Vuelve. On March 6, 1999, almost two weeks after his Grammy performance, it was announced that the album, which was still untitled, had been set for release in May. "Livin' la Vida Loca" was released on March 23, 1999, as the lead single from the album. The song topped the charts in more than 20 countries and is considered to be Martin's biggest hit, and one of the best-selling singles of all time.

On April 24, 1999, Billboard revealed the album's title as Ricky Martin in an article, mentioning that it was initially set for retail on May 25, 1999. However, the huge interest in the disc encouraged Columbia Records to decide to rush the album to release two weeks ahead of schedule, on May 11. In the same issue, the magazine revealed that one of the tracks would be titled "She's All I Ever Had" and it would have a Spanish language version. Ricky Martin was released on the specified date and "She's All I Ever Had" was included as the third track on the album, while the Spanish version of the song, entitled "Bella" (), was included as the 13th track. Martin dedicated the latter to his grandmother who died a year earlier. "She's All I Ever Had" was released by Columbia Records as the second single from the album on June 15, 1999. Maxi singles were released in Australia, Japan, and Europe, on August 30, September 15, and October 11, 1999, respectively. The singles contain different versions of the song, including remixes by Puerto Rican DJ Pablo Flores.

The English version runs for a total of 4 minutes and 55 seconds, while the Spanish version runs for a total of 4 minutes and 54 seconds.

Critical reception

"She's All I Ever Had" has been met with widely positive reviews from music critics. Chuck Taylor from Billboard labeled the song "[a] delectable anthemic ballad" and said "there was no doubt that" it was the track "to go with as the second single" from the album. He added that the song "will do nothing but advance Martin's place not only as the leading pop male vocalist of the day but as a valid phenomenon", mentioning that it "absolutely succeeds on all levels". He complimented Martin's vocal for being "tender and heartfelt", and "boasting a versatility that contrasts nicely" with his previous single, "Livin' la Vida Loca", as well as the song's production, which he described as "lush", "savvy" and "creatively executed". Also from Billboard, Leila Cobo ranked the song as the second-best track from Ricky Martin, saying it "showcases the soulful, romantic Ricky and bears the melancholy stamp of Robi Rosa's writing".

In his review for TV Overmind in 2018, Tom Foster ranked "She's All I Ever Had" as Martin's second-best song and stated that "despite the slight 80's feel of this song, you can still get into it since it's the perfect song for an anniversary, wedding, or just to show that you appreciate your significant other". Lamis Mohammad of Youm7 listed it as Martin's fourth-best song in 2019. In 2021, Claudia González Alvarado from Chilango ranked it as his ninth-best ballad.

Music videos

The accompanying music video was filmed at Boyle Ranch Chatsworth, Lovell House, and Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles, California, in June 1999 and was directed by British director Nigel Dick. The visual was aired on August 6, 1999, on MTV's Total Request Live.

Inspired by the American fantasy drama film What Dreams May Come (1998), the video depicts Martin as the ghost of a deceased man returning to the mortal world and visiting his still-living lover, portrayed by Puerto Rican actress Charlotte Ayanna. The man is seen romping on a beach, gliding through the forest, and singing the song on a cliff, while his lover feels his presence and occasionally encounters his spirit as she reminisces memories of her together with him, the latter of which are shown through intersped flashbacks. The music video for the song's Spanish version is technically the same, except Martin mouths the Spanish lyrics.

Ayanna talked about the filming during a phone interview: "He picked me from a photo my agent submitted. Ricky told me he was looking for something spiritual. He wanted someone sweet and pure who has a loving quality, not a raunchy sex symbol." Cristal Mesa from mitú named the visual Martin's 17th best music video on her 2018 list, comparing it to the American romantic fantasy thriller film Ghost (1990). "Bella" won the award for Video of the Year at the 2000 Premio Lo Nuestro. "She's All I Ever Had" was nominated for Best New Artist Clip — Jazz/AC at the 1999 Billboard Music Video Awards and won the award for the Best Music Video at the 2000 Imagen Foundation Awards.

Live performances and appearances in media

Martin performed "She's All I Ever Had" and "Livin' la Vida Loca" on The Oprah Winfrey Show on July 9, 1999. He then performed both songs accompanied by a group of women dressed in glitter at the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards on September 9, 1999. Maria G. Valdez from Latin Times ranked his rendition as the sixth best performance by a Latin artist at the MTV Video Music Awards, saying: "At the beginning we thought it was going to be a mystic performance, slow and focused on the vocals, but eventually it became a party and you definitely gotta see some of Ricky's best moves on full display during that performance." Wonderwall.com editors picked his performance as one of their favorite moments from MTV VMAs until 2020, and Daneesha Davis of the Miami Herald described his performance of the song as soulful. "She's All I Ever Had" was included on the set lists for Martin's the Livin' la Vida Loca Tour, the Black and White Tour, the Ricky Martin Live tour, and the All In residency. He also performed the song along with his other hits during the 13th Mawazine in 2014, while changing the pronoun from "she" to "he" in its lyrics as a protest against Morocco's anti-LGBT laws. Obie Bermúdez and Fonseca performed a live rendition of "Bella" at the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year gala in 2006, where Martin was honored with the accolade. Ivana Mutskova covered "Bella" on the sixth season of The Voice of Bulgaria in 2019.
