A Veces Bien y a Veces Mal

A Spanish language pop ballad, it is a heartbreak song, describing what happens when you miss someone with whom you still hope to return one day, and the vulnerability of a heart that resists having to accept reality.

Ricky Martin started recording his eleventh studio album, initially titled Movimiento, in the second half of 2019, inspired by the 2019 political protests in Puerto Rico.

Jesús Navarro, vocal leader of Reik told the newspaper: Ricky is one of the most complete and enormous artists in terms of talent and range, and we have been his fan for many years.

[11] It was written by Pedro Capó, Pablo Preciado, Andrés Torres, Martin, Kiko Cibrian, Mauricio Rengifo, and Julio Ramirez Juvelo.

[7][10][13] The lyrics include: "Le faltan piezas al rompecabezas / Ha sido duro mi amor / Como pesan las fotos que siguen adornando mi mesa / Ay como duele cuando un hombre pierde lo quiere" (Puzzle pieces are missing / It has been hard, my love / How heavy are the photos that continue to decorate my table / Oh how it hurts when a man loses what he wants).

In her review for Billboard, Griselda Flores labeled the song "a beautiful pop ballad that marries Martin and Jesús Navarro's dramatic-but-soothing vocals, effortlessly evoking pain and sorrow".

[10] Tommy Calle from the Los Angeles Times stated that it "reaches deep into the hearts of those who have lost a loved one", describing Martin and Reik's interpretation as "emotional".

Beach, sand, palm trees, and the sea appear in the visual, as well as a black background in the middle of a valley landscape in which the singers sing the song.

Martin explained about his idea of featuring her in the visual: "She is a symbol of success, of equality, and the work she has done on behalf of our community around the world has been extremely important.

Tommy Calle from the Los Angeles Times gave the music video a positive review, saying: "The use of drones for aerial shots are phenomenal and show the beauty of the Puerto Rican coast.
