"Más" (English: "More") is the second single from Ricky Martin's studio album, Música + Alma + Sexo (2011). It was released as a digital download on April 5, 2011.
In a Billboard interview, Martin describe the track: "It could be the 80s or the 90s or last Spring. Depends what generation you belong to. Martin claimed that what he wanted to do was "dance a little with this track and get away from the things you're supposed to do in life." And [he] introduce some characters there who are all artists, like Tico with his boom box in Manhattan. [He] made them up but they're real."
The New York Post was very positive with the song, saying: "the thrill of this disc is in the bright Latin pop tune: "Más", in which Martin tries to capture the early 1990s streets of Spanish Harlem." Joey Guerra from Houston Chronicle praised the song, saying: "Más is an homage to starving artists (underground DJ, fledgling model) that plays like a sonic update on past hits "The Cup of Life" and "Livin' la Vida Loca". Grace Bastidas from Latina, positively said: ""Más" is a feel-good dance track about taking advantage of everything life has to offer without caring about what others say. It aims to jolt us like the "The Cup of Life" did in 1999."Jon Pareles from The New York Times said that: "Bouncy, disco-revival beats, like those that have powered hits by Lady Gaga and The Black Eyed Peas, drive "Más" ("More"), a song about people with dreams coming to the big city." Leila Cobo from Billboard said: ""Más," is an invitation to dance with lyrics that encourage listeners to celebrate a night out."
