Background

After recording some songs for her fifth studio album during 1998 and 1999, Rubio was asked to host a television show to the Spanish network Antena 3. Entitled Vive El Verano, the show featured a variety of sections from music to fashion. The singer was tasked with performing the TV show's entrance theme, so she got together with Francisco Pellicer to compose the song. She first recorded a track called "Es El Verano", and then another with the same title as the TV show. "Vive El Verano" was composed by British songwriter Richard Daniel Roman and Spanish songwriter Ignacio Ballesteros. Pellicer was in charge of the production, while the recording was done at Code Studios in Madrid, Spain. == Music and lyrics ==
