"Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" is a song by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin from his sixth studio album, Sound Loaded (2000). Martin re-recorded the song along with American singer Christina Aguilera in December 2000. The album version was written by Desmond Child, Victoria Shaw, and Gary Burr and produced by Child; the duet received additional production from Walter Afanasieff. The duet was released by Columbia Records on January 16, 2001, as the second single from the album. A mid-tempo pop song and power ballad with elements of flamenco and Latin music, it is about heartbreak and longing.

"Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" received widely positive reviews from music critics, who complimented the singers' vocals. The song was listed among the Greatest Love Songs by VH1. It was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards, losing the award to Aguilera's other contender, "Lady Marmalade". The song was commercially successful, peaking at number one in Hungary, New Zealand, and Romania while topping Poland's airplay chart and Croatia's foreign song chart. It also reached the top five in Italy, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom, among others. In Australia and Canada, it became a top-10 hit. The song has received several certifications, including silver in the UK.

A Spanish-language solo version of the song, entitled "Sólo Quiero Amarte" (transl. "I Only Want to Love You"), penned by Martin and percussionist Danny Lopez, was recorded by the former and released in the United States. This version reached the summit of the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks, Latin Pop Songs, and Tropical/Salsa charts in the United States. To promote the English version of the song, Martin and Aguilera performed it on several television programs and award shows, such as the 2001 World Music Awards. The accompanying music videos for the duet and Spanish versions were directed by American director Wayne Isham and filmed in Florida. Several contestants on various music talent shows have covered the song.

Background and release

From 1999 to 2000, Ricky Martin embarked on his fifth tour, the Livin' la Vida Loca Tour, to promote his first English album, Ricky Martin.[1][2] While on tour in 2000, Martin returned to the studio and began recording material for his sixth studio album, Sound Loaded.[3][4] The album was released on November 14, 2000, by Columbia Records, and a solo version of "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" was included as the fifth track on the album.[5][6] A Spanish version of the song, titled "Sólo Quiero Amarte" (transl. "I Only Want to Love You") was featured as the 15th track on the Latin American edition of the album with the same release date.[7]

Martin re-recorded the song along with Christina Aguilera in Las Vegas in December 2000 for the 11th Annual Billboard Music Awards.[8] Aguilera wrote about the re-recording in an online message: "An incredible music and career opportunity has come up for me to record a duet with Ricky Martin."[9] In an interview with the Grammy Awards in 2021, Martin talked about collaborating with Aguilera: "Every time I talk about Christina, it brings a smile [to my face] because I think it was a very powerful track. Her delivery, her performance like always was beautiful."[10] The duet was released to radio stations in the United States, by Columbia Records on January 16, 2001, as the second single from Sound Loaded.[11] The track was not released in a major commercially available single format in the United States, and consumers could purchase the song only with buying the album. Those who had already bought the album could download it from Martin's website for free or mail a sticker from their copy of the album, receiving a free CD with the new version of "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely".[12][13][14]

A maxi single, including all three versions of the song (solo, duet, and Spanish), as well as a remix of Martin's previous song, "She Bangs", was released in Europe, on January 16, 2001.[15] Additionally, CD singles of the suetwere launched in Australia and the United Kingdom, on February 26, 2001.[16][17] The promo CD of the Spanish version was released in the US and includes a salsa version of "Sólo Quiero Amarte" recorded by Martin.[18] The duet version of "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" was later added to Martin's compilation albums The Best of Ricky Martin (2001),[19] 17 (2008),[20] Greatest Hits (2011),[21] Playlist: The Very Best of Ricky Martin (2012),[22] and Greatest Hits: Souvenir Edition (2013),[23] and Aguilera's Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits (2008),[24] while "Sólo Quiero Amarte" was added to Martin's La Historia (2001).[25]

Music and lyrics

Musically, the re-recorded version of "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" is a mid-tempo pop song and power ballad,[17][26][27] featuring elements of flamenco and Latin music.[17][28] The News Journal noted that the duet features a more "danced-up" melody than the original, which was simply a ballad.[29] Both the solo and duet versions of "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" were written by Desmond Child, Victoria Shaw, and Gary Burr, while the production for the solo version was handled by Desmond Child and the duet's production was handled by Walter Afanasieff.[30][31] Martin and Danny Lopez co-wrote "Sólo Quiero Amarte".[18]

According to the duet version's sheet music on Musicnotes.com, "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" uses piano and guitar and is composed in the key of B♭ minor with a groove of 100 beats per minute.[32] Martin and Aguilera's vocals span from the low note of D♭4 to the high note of D♭6.[32] The album version track runs for a total of five minutes and five seconds,[6] while the duet runs for a total of 4 minutes and 12 seconds.[33] According to Stephen Daw from Billboard, "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" is a love song about "heartbreak" and "longing",[27][28] as well as "love, lose, and hope" according to mitú's Cristal Mesa,[34] with lyrics including, "Nobody wants to be lonely / Nobody wants to cry / My body's longing to hold you / So bad, it hurts inside / Time is precious and it's slipping away / And I've been waiting for you all of my life".[35]

Critical reception

"Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" has been met with widely positive reviews from music critics. Billboard staff reviewed the duet version, following its release in January 2001, writing that the song was "edgier and sexier" than Martin's previous works and calling his vocal performance with Aguilera "radiant". They described the track as "the combination of two of pop music's most sexually charged performers", mentioning the song's "sensuality" and its "feel-good vibe".[36] British trade paper Music Week referred to the duet as a "pop swayer" and noted its "perfect" performance.[17] AllMusic reviewer Jose F. Promis wrote that the duet version was more "bombastic" than the solo album version.[37] The Los Angeles Times staff described the singers as "two of pop's hottest heartthrobs".[14] Tango's Alice Kelly stated: "These two harmonize each other so beautifully that anyone would be convinced their love story was real."[38] Writing for The Advocate, Gina Vivinetto praised "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely", saying the singers "blended their voices beautifully" on the track.[39] Cristal Mesa from mitú described them as "two vocal powerhouses" and said they "definitely keep your attention as they sing" the song.[34]

In 2017, Bustle critic Mathew Jedeikin gave the song a positive review, saying it is "basically a cult classic". He added that although the track "seemed underappreciated" in 2001, it "has lived on as one of the most iconic duets of the early 2000s".[40] Kevin Apaza from Direct Lyrics labeled the song "an iconic hit",[41] and Mark Blankenship from NewNowNext described it as "spectacular".[42] In 2018, Stephen Daw from Billboard placed it among Aguilera's 10 best collaborations in her career, saying "no two musical artists scream 'early aughts' quite like" Martin and Aguilera, describing them as "two icons".[27] Also from Billboard, Rebecca Schiller named the duet one of Aguilera's "most memorable collaborations".[43] Writing for O, The Oprah Magazine, Amanda Mitchell ranked the track as Martin's third-best song on her 2019 list.[44] In the same year, Gary James of Entertainment Focus ranked the song as Aguilera's second-biggest duet.[45] Idolator's Mike Wass acknowledged it as her sixth-best collaboration in 2021.[46]

Music videos

A screenshot from the music video, depicting Martin and Aguilera hugging each other romantically.

The accompanying music video for "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" was filmed at the Miami Biltmore Hotel[104] in December 2000 and was directed by American director Wayne Isham,[105][49] who had also directed the videos for Martin's previous singles "Vuelve", "The Cup of Life", "La Bomba", "Livin' la Vida Loca", "She Bangs", and "Shake Your Bon-Bon".[106][107] The visual was aired on January 16, 2001, on MTV's Making the Video.[14][105] The video begins with several doves flying out of a historical building while Aguilera is standing alone in the foyer of the building. In the next scene, Martin is shown, leaning on the wall of an outdoor maze. The two start singing the song, and Aguilera shows off on the stairs out of the building while Martin watches her.[108]

In another scene, Martin is seen outside standing between columns of the mansion. He and Aguilera then pass each other on the stairs and show love between themselves by hugging and spinning around each other. Martin touches her arm, and they look into each other's eyes. He once again passes by the columns, and the video depicts flying doves in the last scene.[108] A music video was also filmed for "Sólo Quiero Amarte", which aired in 2001 and shows only Martin in the same scenes of "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" video, singing the Spanish song in different locations of the mansion by his own.[109] Mallory Schlossberg from Bustle described "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" video set as "pretty epic", saying: "The architecture steals the show."[110] Cristal Mesa from mitú named the visual Martin's 16th-best music video on her 2018 list and E!

Martin uses the visual for his follow-up concerts and tours as well: "And because of that video, I think it's one of those songs that I will keep alive as much as I can."[10][40][41]
