Review

"Vuelve" is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin for his fourth studio album, Vuelve (1998). The song was written by Franco De Vita, while K. C. Porter and Draco Rosa handled the production. It was released to radio stations by Sony Discos as the lead single from the album on January 26, 1998. A Spanish language power ballad and Latin pop song with rock and gospel elements, it is about the singer's true love, who gives meaning to his life. It generally received positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its romantic lyrics and Martin's vocal.

American director Wayne Isham directed the video at the Ennis House in Los Angeles, California. At the beginning of the video, Martin is facing the rain. Afterward, he performs the track in various areas of the house.
