"Shake Your Bon-Bon" is the third single taken from the second self-titled album by Ricky Martin. It was released on October 12, 1999. It was later sent to radio stations in the United States on November 1, 1999.[2] In this context, "bon-bon" is utilized as a colloquial euphemism for shaking one's buttocks.[3]
The U.S. maxi-single includes "Almost a Love Song", which is an English version of Martin's song "Casi un Bolero", taken from the Grammy-winning album Vuelve. The Australian maxi-single also contains one new song, called "Ay, Ay, Ay It's Christmas".

'Shake Your Bon-Bon' is quite literally a clever love letter to, well, booty shaking.
