My first review for any of you in quite some time; this will start today! --K. Peake 08:32, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

 * Cover art caption is not appropriate, as the US release is not called a maxi single anywhere
 * Wikilink as samba
 * Use bullet points instead for labels per Template:Infobox song
 * Wikilink as Draco Rosa
 * Shouldn't you write English title as "the Bomb" per the body's stylization?
 * Wikilink as Draco Rosa
 * "was handled by Porter and Rosa." → "was handled by the latter two." plus this needs to be written out in the body
 * Wikilink as samba
 * "the music which makes" → "the music that makes"
 * Remove comma after rhythm of the dance
 * "its danceable rhythm and was highlighted as" → "the danceable rhythm and highlighted it as"
 * Pipe Premios Eres to Revista ERES
 * "It depicts Martin" → "It shows Martin" to be less repetitive
 * "The track was included on" → "The song was included on" and add at the end of the sentence, "while he also performed it..." mentioning other notable performance(s)

Background and composition

 * It is fine mentioning the chorus without a source on the audio sample text, but you need to source a melody of the song in prose
 * Isn't [10] enough for that, it has described the song as "an uptempo dance track". آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:23, 16 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Remove comma after third studio album
 * "his record label executives" → "the executives at his record label" then writing the name of his label
 * If not every country in South America has a record chart, then write "all South American countries with record charts" instead
 * I changed it to "number one in 20 countries" and added another reference for it. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a sufficient replacement --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)


 * "had sold over" → "has sold over"
 * The first three sentences of the second paragraph should be merged with the above one per them being background
 * Should it be "was" or "is" going before the quote, as maybe the tense should be consistent?
 * "The album consisting mainly" → "The album consists mainly"
 * Wikilink Spanish language
 * I'm sorry but per MOS:OVERLINK, I think languages should not be linked. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Wikilink as samba
 * "the Dallas Morning News editor Mario Tarradell also echoed." → "The Dallas Morning News editor Mario Tarradell echoed."
 * Shouldn't the writing sentence also mention production credits?
 * [17] should be solely at the end of the translated title sentence instead
 * Pipe to Bomba (Puerto Rico) should only be on "of the same name"
 * The piano part is to do with the music, so should come directly before the writing sentence

Release and promotion

 * Img looks good!
 * "was released as" → "was released on CD as" with the pipe
 * "fourth studio album, Vuelve, released February" → "fourth studio album Vuelve on February"
 * "was released in the United States, by" → "was released in the US by" per MOS:US
 * "The music video was filmed in April 1998" → "The song's music video was filmed during April 1998" with the wikilink
 * "The visual, also includes a" → "At the beginning of the visual, he appears in a"
 * "It was later included" → "The clip was later included"
 * Wikilink compilation albums
 * Remove the view count since YouTube is constantly updating; you need a source writing it out for verification
 * ✅--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:43, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Critical reception

 * Newsday review should be in the same sentence as Los 40, using the connective while
 * "the album's highlights as did the" → "the album's highlights, as did"
 * You do not need to write the before Newsday critic
 * "citing the song's lyrics to" → "citing how the song's lyrics"
 * "the time, when drinks" → "the time when drinks"
 * "saying like it is suggested by the song's title, the track is," → "saying like the title suggests, it is,"
 * "acknowledged it as one" → "acknowledged the song as one"
 * "from Los Angeles Times described the song as" → "from the Los Angeles Times described it as"
 * ✅--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:50, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Accolades

 * "on the list of" → "on a list of"
 * "listed it among" → "listed the track among"
 * ✅--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:50, 16 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't you write Premios Eres? Either way, pipe to Revista ERES.
 * "Premios" literally means "awards" in Spanish. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:50, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I did not look into that so thanks for letting me know, also good job on solely implementing the second suggestion here. --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Commercial performance

 * "Central American countries including" → "Central American countries, including"
 * "it peaked at numbers" → "the song peaked at numbers"
 * Does [47] back up all of that sentence and the previous one?
 * Yes, all three charts were in one page in the magazine.آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:52, 16 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Pipe on Spanish-speaking countries is not necessary here, as this text is about countries that don't speak it
 * ✅--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 11:52, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Live performances and appearances in media

 * Img looks good!
 * The source does not mention the Vuelve Tour, plus should this really be surrounded by speech marks?
 * The list of tours is a bit excess for ones following "including"; maybe find a source stating that he performed it on all of his tours and then add notable ones after including?
 * Unfortunately, I couldn't find a specific source citing that.آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:12, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Good on you to maintain intergrity and not add OR; this reads smoothly without the usage of "including" now! --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * "as part of his" → "as part of Martin's"
 * Change Miami, Florida to Miami with no wikilink
 * The source does not mention the tour being used for promotion of MTV Unplugged
 * "danced to it on" → "did the same on"
 * Add the release years of the songs in brackets
 * ""Livin' la Vida Loca, to" → ""Livin' la Vida Loca" to"
 * ✅--آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:12, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Formats and track listings

 * No Australian CD or European 12-inch singles are sourced
 * The source 19 backs up 😶 The section Tracks include the track listing and formats. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:16, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh thanks, I must have missed that --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Credits and personnel

 * Good

Charts

 * Good

Release history

 * Make the rowspan 2 for Columbia Records
 * Pipe Promotional CD to Promotional recording

Final comments and verdict

 * until all of the issues are fixed! --K. Peake 22:11, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for devoting your time on it. It is always an honor for me to have my nominated-articles reviewed by you. I fixed all the issues, I hope I haven't missed anything. If I had, please tell me to fix it. آرمین هویدایی (talk) 12:32, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ now, that was quick and you provided proper reasons not to implement certain changes; congratulations to both you and on getting this into GA status! --K. Peake 07:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
