Velorio literally translates to a "wake" or "vigil," the gathering that happens before a funeral. It's a dramatic and uncommon word to find in a pop song.
In "Solo De Mí," Bad Bunny uses this word metaphorically. He sings, "Alzando botellas en tu velorio" (Raising bottles at your wake), to declare that his past relationship is officially dead. Instead of mourning, he's celebrating its end like a party, powerfully flipping a traditionally somber event into a moment of triumphant liberation.
If you need an anthem for completely cutting ties with an ex, Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny wrote this one for you. The song kicks off with a sharp boundary: "No me vuelvas a decir 'bebé' / Yo no soy tuyo ni de nadie, yo soy sólo de mí" ("Don't call me 'baby' again / I'm not yours or anyone's, I belong only to myself"). He makes it crystal clear that the relationship is done and buried. In fact, he treats the breakup like a literal funeral, raising drinks with "alzando botellas en tu velorio" ("raising bottles at your wake"). He bluntly points out that his ex is the one who messed up ("Fuiste tú que lo jodió"), so he feels zero guilt about moving on and ignoring whatever drama they post on Facebook.
Then the beat switches, and the heartbreak turns straight into a wild night out. Bad Bunny leans into heavy Puerto Rican party slang, announcing "hoy es patas abajo" (literally "feet up," meaning total chaos and wild partying) and making sure nobody ruins his "jangueo" (night out hanging with friends). He spots his ex getting jealous when she sees him with someone else ("se mordió"—she got mad/bitter), but he doesn't care at all. He's totally focused on dancing ("yo lo que quiero es perreo") and enjoying his freedom, proving that sometimes the best way to handle a dead romance is on the dance floor.
Bad Bunny was bagging groceries at a supermarket in Vega Baja and studying audiovisual communication at the University of Puerto Rico's Arecibo campus when the tracks he was uploading to SoundCloud between shifts reached DJ Luian, who signed him to Hear This Music in 2016. He was born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio in Bayamón in 1994 and grew up in the Almirante Sur barrio of Vega Baja.
The breakout was "Diles" in 2016, then "Soy Peor" that December, and by 2018 he was on Cardi B's "I Like It", a number one on the Hot 100. His albums run from X 100pre and YHLQMDLG through Un Verano Sin Ti, the year end number one on the Billboard 200 in 2022, to Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which in February 2026 became the first all Spanish language album to win the Grammy for Album of the Year. He also has "Callaíta", "Dakiti" and "Tití Me Preguntó" behind him, a summer 2025 residency at the Coliseo José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, and a WrestleMania tag team match in 2021 that he and Damian Priest won.
