Euphoria is the ninth studio album by Spanish singer-songwriter Enrique Iglesias.
The album features guest appearances by Akon, Usher, Juan Luis Guerra, Pitbull, Nicole Scherzinger, Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel and Ludacris.
Upon its release, the album debuted at number ten on the Billboard 200, with sales of 27,000 copies.
The album has produced three top Billboard Hot Dance Club Play tracks in the form of "I Like It", "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" and "Dirty Dancer".
"[5] It was announced that at the end of 2010 Iglesias would set off on his Euphoria Tour in support of his latest album.
But when people hear this record is obvious that you will find that it has nothing to do with many of the songs I've done in the past, [...] What we want is that the audience grows with you and that is very difficult to achieve.
Robert Copsey from Digital Spy gave the album 3 stars (out of 5), saying that "Euphoria fits between the sentimental Iglesias of the 'Hero' and 'Bailamos' era and the new, Down With The Kids Enrique.
The latter is generally more entertaining, with the robotic vocal effects and rave-tinged production, but the end result here is not necessarily what Iglesias may have intended".
He finished the review saying that "Euphoria is a mixed bag of a record which tries a little too hard to please the disparate elements of his fanbase".
Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic gave 3 stars out of 5 for the album and went to say that "Euphoria is as bright as its title, a firm return to romance for the loverman" and "despite the contemporary flourishes, the heart of this album resides in Iglesias’ romantic balladeering, the kind of croon that crosses cultures, so much so that the tracks here slip between Spanish and English without much notice.
The album offers a great combination of sounds & features outstanding performances by different artists.
[14][failed verification] Leila Cobo from Billboard gave a positive review stating, " Even when Iglesias gets introspective there is a sweet innocence to the interpretation, and the end result of the song-and the album-feels light, but not superficial.

It never received the full single treatment in the US, which is why it failed to enter the Billboard Hot 100.
The song appeared on the original version of the album, however, for its single release it was remixed with a new instrumental and new verses from Lil Wayne and Nayer.
On 4 October 2011, "I Like How It Feels" featuring rapper Pitbull (who appeared on "I Like It") and producers The WAV.s was released for digital download, intended as the first single from the re-release edition of Euphoria (entitled Euphoria Reloaded) and the eighth overall single.
