The show's title is derived from Ricky Martin's 1999 hit single, "Livin' la Vida Loca".

The series follows the character of television personality Keith Lemon, capturing his home and work life, and everything in between.

Whilst on Let's Do Lunch with Gino & Mel, Lemon announced that a Christmas special of Lemon La Vida Loca would air in December.

It was announced in January 2014 that Lemon La Vida Loca would not be renewed for a third series.

The complete first and second series of Lemon La Vida Loca was released onto DVD on 18 November 2013 as a three-disc set.
