There's enough crosswicks to get this out of "Pages Needing Tropes" that I wonder how it didn't have a single example for this long.

* AllWomenAreLustful:
-->"And she bangs, she bangs\\
Oh baby\\
When she moves, she moves\\
I go crazy\\
'Cause she looks like a flower but she stings\\
Like a bee\\
Like every girl in history\\
She bangs, she bangs"
* BackToFront: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-m9fn1yeEI Private Emotion]]" displays him and his love interest first coated in ice, then the ice melting back to water, which returns to the sprinkler heads, so that the fire ignited by their passion reappears before un-igniting.
* TheCoverChangesTheGender: Ever since coming out in 2010, he started performing some of his hits from a gay male perspective (eg. "He's All I Ever Had") in concert.
* GratuitousFrench: "The Cup of Life (La Copa de la Vida)" has "Allez, allez, allez" and "Une, deux, trois".
* IntercourseWithYou: As part of the LatinLover image, this is a prominent theme in his music.
* LyricalShoehorn: "Livin' La Vida Loca" had a dilemma in its chorus: the only workable English word to rhyme with "loca" is "mocha". But a reference to coffee in a song about a FemmeFatale would seem weird. But the solution they came up with was equally odd and tortured.
-->Her lips are devil-red\\
And her skin's the color mocha[[note]]"the color mocha" is necessary because "her skin's mocha" makes it sound like she's made of coffee, (and there's no room for an "of"), but it's still an inelegant construct for a song lyric[[/note]]
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: The girl in "Livin' La Vida Loca" will "make you live her crazy life," but the result is that "She will wear you out" and "She'll make you go insane." She's quite an experience but also dangerous.
* MatingDance: Ricky really [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VjVlokpNJY works his pelvis in a suggestive manner]] while performing "Come With Me (En Vivo)".
* PowerBallad: Ricky has two in particular: "She's All I Ever Had" and "Nobody Wants to be Lonely" (the latter a duet with Music/ChristinaAguilera).
* StarbucksSkinScale: In order to make a rhyming scheme for "Livin' La Vida Loca", the girl was described as having skin the color of mocha.
* StuffyOldSongsAboutTheButtocks: "Shake Your Bon-Bon", which [[TitleOnlyChorus prominently features those words in the chorus]].
* UnscaledMerfolk: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ihtX86JzmA music video]] for "She Bangs" features both standard mermaids and an octopus-merman.

His musical career received a second kick in the backside in early 1999, when his performance of "Cup of Life" at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards brought Latin pop to the attention of the U.S. music scene.
