"Perdido Sin Ti" ( transl. "Lost without You") is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin for his fourth studio album, Vuelve (1998). The song was written by K.C. Porter, Robi Rosa, and Luis Gómez Escolar, while the production was handled by Porter and Rosa. It was released by Columbia Records as the fourth single from the album on August 18, 1998. A heart-wrenching, slow ballad, its protagonist is nostalgia. The song received positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its "sweetness" and "dreamy hook".
"Perdido Sin Ti" was acknowledged as an award-winning song at the 2000 BMI Latin Awards. The song reached number one on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Airplay charts in the United States, as well as number three in both Panama and Puerto Rico. The accompanying music video was directed by Gustavo Garzón and premiered at the Wolfsonian Museum in October 1998. The track was included on the set lists for Martin's the One Night Only with Ricky Martin tour and the Movimiento Tour.
In 1995, Ricky Martin released his third studio album, A Medio Vivir. On it, he shifted from his traditional ballad-style compositions to a riskier fusion of music focused on traditional Latin sounds, epitomized by the song " María". Taken aback by the starkly different musical style, his record label executives felt the song would ruin Martin's career. Despite this, "María" was chosen as the album's second single and became a breakthrough hit, reaching number one in France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Finland, Italy, Turkey, and the whole of South America. [2] As of 2014, A Medio Vivir had sold over three million copies worldwide. [3] While on tour in 1997, Martin returned to the studio and began recording material for his fourth studio album. He said the experience of touring and recording at the same time was "brutal and incredibly intense". [2] On December 7, 1997, Martin confirmed he was completing his next project and that the album would be released in February of the following year. [4] He worked on the album with producers K.C. Porter and Robi Rosa, and recorded it in studios across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Spain. [5] [6]
The album's title, Vuelve, was announced on January 25, 1998. In an interview with CNN en Español, he emphasized the album was going to "reaffirm the internationalization of my career and I know that it will help me a lot to destroy the stereotypes that may exist with my culture". [7] The album consisting mainly of "red-hot" Latin dance numbers and "melodramatic" pop ballads. [8] [9] "Perdido Sin Ti" was written by Porter, Rosa, and Luis Gómez Escolar, [8] and runs for a total of four minutes and ten seconds. [10] An "aching, slower-placed" ballad, [11] [12] in which nostalgia is the protagonist. [13] In the lyrics, he cites "No me dejes solo quédate en mi casa, sin ti me falta todo, sin ti no queda nada" ("Don't leave alone, stay in my house, I'd lack everything without you, nothing remains you"). [14]
"Perdido Sin Ti" was released on August 18, 1998, as the album's fourth single. [15] [16] The song was also later added to Martin's compilation albums La Historia (2001), [12] Personalidad (2015), [17] and Esencial (2018).

[11] Writing for Vista magazine, Carmen Teresa Roiz remarked that the song, along with " Casi un Bolero" and " Corazonado, "reflects the most intimate part of the interpreter". [13] The Newsday critic Richard Torres praised the track's "sweetness". [28] The Dallas Morning News reviewer Mario Tarradell labeled it "a bedroom staple with a dreamy hook and a simmering feel". [1] An author of Crónica TV named "Perdido Sin Ti" among Martin's "most important songs" and Melissa Martinez from the El Paso Times named it as one of her favorites. [29] [30] In 2015, Univision staff ranked the track as Martin's seventh-best ballad. [31] The following year, Marco Salazar Nuñez from E!
