"Tiburones" ({{Translation|"Sharks"}}) is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin for his first extended play, Pausa (2020). The song was written by Oscar Hernandez and Pablo Preciado, while the production was handled by Julio Reyes Copello. The song was released for digital download and streaming by Sony Music Latin on January 23, 2020, as the second single from the extended play. A Spanish language ballad and Latin pop song, it is about the importance of peace, love and unity. It received positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its lyrics.
"Tiburones" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 21st Annual Latin Grammy Awards. The song was commercially successful in Latin America, reaching number one in Argentina and Puerto Rico, as well as the top 10 in eight other Latin American countries. Additionally, it became Martin's 49th entry on US Hot Latin Songs chart, making him the first and only artist in history to enter the chart in five different decades. The accompanying high concept music video was directed by Puerto Rican director Kacho Lopez and filmed in Caguas, Puerto Rico. It depicts a citizen protest that will turn into a celebration at the end and is an ode to both LGBT community and women's rights. Billboard ranked it among the "22 Latin Music Videos to Celebrate Pride Month".
To promote the song, Martin performed it on several television programs and award shows, including the 2020 Lo Nuestro Awards and the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards. For further promotion, Spotify promoted the release on billboards in Times Square. Several artists have recorded their own cover version of the song, most notably Reik. A remix of the original with Puerto Rican singer Farruko was released on April 10, 2020. A few weeks later, Martin and him released a music video for the remix, which was directed by Carlos Perez.
Background and development
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. On October 29, 2019, during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he confirmed that the album was set to include three ballads.{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/music/2019/10/29/ricky-martin-puerto-rico-protests-influenced-new-album-teases-release-date/|title=Ricky Martin says protests in Puerto Rico influenced his new album, teases release date|last=Cordero|first=Rosy|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|access-date=February 27, 2021|date=October 29, 2019|archive-date=February 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210228134644/https://ew.com/music/2019/10/29/ricky-martin-puerto-rico-protests-influenced-new-album-teases-release-date/|url-status=live}} On December 11, 2019, Martin was seen in Caguas, filming a music video.

He also clarified that the ballad is romantic and does not refer to political issues:
{{blockquote| All I want is to talk about love. The public knows what they feel and what they don't feel when they are in love and when they're dealing with the process of ending a relationship. What we have achieved with the Puerto Rican cinematographer Kacho López, it doesn't matter if you are from Puerto Rico or not, you will identify yourself. It is love with good taste, it is a celebration and we did it here in Puerto Rico. I think it's one of those ballads that people will be asking me for many years.{{cite news|url=https://www.metro.pr/pr/entretenimiento/2020/01/02/ricky-martin-musicaliza-activismo-politico-social.html|title=Ricky Martin musicaliza su activismo político y social|last=Santiago Túa|first=Lynet|work=Metro Puerto Rico|access-date=February 2, 2021|date=January 2, 2020|language=Spanish|archive-date=February 4, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210204185619/https://www.metro.pr/pr/entretenimiento/2020/01/02/ricky-martin-musicaliza-activismo-politico-social.html|url-status=live}}}}

Throughout the song, Martin sings about love and unity, and reproves wasting time in fighting about things that are not important, and it focuses on the permanent and limitless love between a couple.{{cite news| url=https://newsthetoday.com/ricky-martin-is-taking-his-new-music-video-to-puerto-rico/| title=Ricky Martin Is Taking His New Music Video to Puerto Rico| publisher=News Today| access-date=February 27, 2020| date=January 25, 2020| archive-date=February 28, 2021| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210228135036/https://newsthetoday.com/ricky-martin-is-taking-his-new-music-video-to-puerto-rico/| url-status=dead}} Tomás Mier from People described the song as an "optimism-filled" track.{{cite news|url=https://people.com/music/ricky-martin-says-album-pausa-became-medicine-for-2020/|title=Ricky Martin Says His Album Pausa 'Became My Medicine' for 2020: 'I Was Really Anxious'|last=Mier|first=Tomás|work=People|access-date=February 5, 2020|date=December 29, 2020|archive-date=December 29, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201229191142/https://people.com/music/ricky-martin-says-album-pausa-became-medicine-for-2020/|url-status=live}}
Hernandez described the song as "very emotional", and told Billboard about the lyrics, saying it "talks about the union of two who should never waste time in fights", going on to call it "a proposal to change directions, plans and ideas, with the simple reason of moving forward, together. And at any cost 'for you whatever, swim with sharks'." Also, Martin told L'Officiel Hommes about it: "This song is a metaphor about the frustration of my people, describing the things we would be willing to do to be together, to survive, we might even think about swimming allegorically with the tiburones, aka sharks. Unfortunately this is a global problem not only in Puerto Rico, we must fight and unite for justice to triumph."{{cite news|url=https://www.lofficielitalia.com/uomo/intervista-ricky-martin-the-now-icon-popstar-internazionale-vita-privata#|title=The Now Icon: Ricky Martin|last=Croci|first=Roberto|work=L'Officiel Hommes|access-date=March 11, 2021|date=March 31, 2020|archive-date=March 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210312111037/https://www.lofficielitalia.com/uomo/intervista-ricky-martin-the-now-icon-popstar-internazionale-vita-privata|url-status=live}}

On April 10, 2020, Martin released a remix of "Tiburones", with Puerto Rican singer Farruko. The remix marked the second collaboration between Martin and Farruko, following "Perdóname" remix. On April 9, 2020, they shared the artwork for the remix on their social media.{{cite news| url=https://www.instagram.com/p/B-vWu-zHYBn/?igshid=9v7gtiuvshex |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/s/instagram/B-vWu-zHYBn |archive-date=December 24, 2021 |url-access=limited| title=farrukoofficial hermano, vamos a disfrutar lo que viene|last=Martin|first=Ricky|via=Instagram| access-date=February 2, 2021|date=April 10, 2020|language=Spanish}}{{cbignore}}{{cite tweet|user=Ricky_Martin|author=Ricky Martin|number=1248045144659673089|date=April 9, 2020|title=• @FarrukoOfficial hermano, vamos a disfrutar lo que viene.

{{blockquote| It's an honor for me to do this, I admire what you do and I've always followed your career. I'm so happy to share this beautiful song with you that motivates people to put their hands up and leave violence behind and to hug each other during difficult times.{{cite magazine| url=https://www.billboard.com/music/latin/farruko-ricky-martin-tiburones-latin-remix-of-the-week-9358786| title=Latin Remix of the Week: Farruko Joins Ricky Martin for 'Tiburones'| magazine=Billboard| access-date=April 16, 2020| date=April 15, 2020| archive-date=April 28, 2020| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200428100728/https://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/columns/latin/9358786/farruko-ricky-martin-tiburones-latin-remix-of-the-week| url-status=live}}}}
A few days after the remix with Farruko was released, Puerto Rican singer Ozuna explained that Martin had excluded him from the remix of the song: "I had made the song 'Tiburones', the original was with me. I don't know what happened, I had my problems. It was before I had all my personal affairs. I do not know if it was that he changed his perspective and his impression with me, perhaps he said 'this is not the Ozuna that I knew before', after the situations that I had. I respect that, I was very interested in the song, another style of rhythm, we put the seasoning on it, we put a lot of things into it." he said exclusively to the YouTube channel MoluscoTV. Ozuna's pornographic video was leaked in 2019 and he was also accused of ordering the killing of Kevin Fret by Fret's mother during an interview on Conexión Samantha Love.{{cite magazine| url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8506963/ozuna-manager-respond-allegations-kevin-fret-mother-murder| title=Kevin Fret Murder Probe Continues, Rocking Latin Music World as Fret's Mother Breaks Silence| magazine=Billboard| access-date=April 28, 2020| date=April 16, 2019| archive-date=October 28, 2020| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201028183008/https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8506963/ozuna-manager-respond-allegations-kevin-fret-mother-murder| url-status=live}}
"I was very sad when I saw that I didn't appear in the song, but it was not annoying or something like this, I respect Ricky a lot", Ozuna declared publicly.{{cite news| url=https://moda.com.pe/noticias/musica/ozuna-ricky-martin-tiburones-miami-video-cancion-oficial-43825#1| title=Ozuna confirmó que Ricky Martin lo excluyó de la canción 'Tiburones'| publisher=Moda| access-date=April 28, 2020| date=April 21, 2020| archive-date=August 15, 2020| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200815143721/https://moda.com.pe/noticias/musica/ozuna-ricky-martin-tiburones-miami-video-cancion-oficial-43825#1| url-status=live}}
After he could not participate in "Tiburones", Ozuna told El Break de las 7 that he did not lose faith of making a musical collaboration with Martin. In addition, he assured that he loves the theme of Martin and Farruko, and that he listens to it constantly.{{cite news| url=https://www.univision.com/famosos/ozuna-no-pierde-la-esperanza-de-trabajar-con-ricky-martin-tras-la-polemica-por-el-remix-de-tiburones-video| title=Ozuna no pierde la esperanza de trabajar con Ricky Martin tras la polémica por el remix de 'Tiburones'| publisher=Univision| access-date=April 28, 2020| date=April 18, 2020|language=Spanish| archive-date=April 21, 2020| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200421035558/https://www.univision.com/famosos/ozuna-no-pierde-la-esperanza-de-trabajar-con-ricky-martin-tras-la-polemica-por-el-remix-de-tiburones-video| url-status=live}}
=Reception and promotion=
Griselda Flores from Billboard gave the remix a positive review, saying: "The upbeat remix gives the already hit song a new life with urban-tinged beats and Farruko's distinctive vocals and rhymes." On May 7, 2020, Martin and Farruko released a music video for the remix.{{cite web|title=Ricky Martin, Farruko - Tiburones (Remix - Official Video)| publisher=YouTube|date=May 7, 2020|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fEYT3xvgfk|access-date=May 8, 2020}}
The black-and-white music video was filmed at the singer's respective homes, on their phones, because of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Martin recorded his scenes in Los Angeles, while Farruko's were shot in Puerto Rico. The visual was directed by Carlos Perez, who had also directed the videos for Martin singles "Tal Vez",{{cite news| url=https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Tal-Vez| title=Tal Vez| publisher=Carlos Perez| access-date=February 27, 2021| archive-date=March 1, 2021| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301095701/https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Tal-Vez| url-status=live}} "Jaleo",{{cite news| url=https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Jaleo| title=Jaleo| publisher=Carlos Perez| access-date=February 27, 2021| archive-date=March 1, 2021| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301095709/https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Jaleo| url-status=live}} "The Best Thing About Me Is You",{{cite news| url=https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-The-Best-Thing-About-Me-Is-You| title=The Best Thing About Me Is You| publisher=Carlos Perez| access-date=February 27, 2021}} "Frío",{{cite news| url=https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Feat-Wisin-y-Yandel-Frio| title=Frío| publisher=Carlos Perez| access-date=February 27, 2021| archive-date=March 1, 2021| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301095735/https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Feat-Wisin-y-Yandel-Frio| url-status=live}} "Come with Me",{{cite news| url=https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Come-With-Me| title=Come with Me| publisher=Carlos Perez| access-date=February 27, 2021| archive-date=March 1, 2021| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301095916/https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Come-With-Me| url-status=live}} "Perdóname",{{cite news| url=https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Perdoname| title=Perdóname| publisher=Carlos Perez| access-date=February 27, 2021| archive-date=March 1, 2021| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301095908/https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Perdoname| url-status=live}} "Fiebre",{{cite news| url=https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Fiebre-ft-Wisin-Yandel| title=Fiebre| publisher=Carlos Perez| access-date=February 27, 2021| archive-date=March 1, 2021| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301095826/https://www.carlosperez.com/Ricky-Martin-Fiebre-ft-Wisin-Yandel| url-status=live}} and his latest song, "Falta Amor".{{cite magazine| url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-latin/sebastian-yatra-ricky-martin-falta-amor-2020-tour-973951/| title=Sebastián Yatra, Ricky Martin Give 'Falta Amor' a Soulful Revamp| magazine=Rolling Stone| access-date=March 27, 2020| date=March 26, 2020| archive-date=March 27, 2020| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200327044517/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-latin/sebastian-yatra-ricky-martin-falta-amor-2020-tour-973951/| url-status=live}} He worked on the video from Miami.
