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.

CONTENTS SUMMARY
TURiSTA (TOURiST)
En mi vida fuiste turista
Tú sólo viste lo mejor de mí
Y no lo que yo sufría
Te fuiste sin saber el porqué
In my life you were a tourist
You only saw the best of me
And not what I was suffering
You left without knowing why

Bad Bunny compares a past lover to a vacationer who only dropped by for the highlight reel: "En mi vida fuiste turista / Tú sólo viste lo mejor de mí" ("In my life you were a tourist / You only saw the best of me"). Over a steady reggaeton groove, he rattles off pleasant postcard memories like "una foto bonita" (a pretty picture), "un atardecer hermoso" (a gorgeous sunset), and "una bailadita" (a little dance). But behind all those sunny vacation vibes, he kept his real pain tucked away. He does not hold a grudge about it either, admitting frankly, "no te tocaba a ti curarlas" ("it wasn't your job to heal them").

The mood turns reflective as he admits to hiding his feelings out of fear of getting hurt worse: "Dime si viste la pena / De mi corazón roto / Que lleva así... muchos años" ("Tell me if you saw the sorrow / Of my broken heart / That's been like this... for many years"). Then he shrugs off the heavy thoughts with a casual Puerto Rican conversational phrase: "Si se da, pues, se da / Y si no, pues también" ("If it happens, well, it happens / And if not, that's fine too"). He accepts that this person simply came to have a good time ("Viniste a pasarla bien / Y la pasamos bien"), choosing to toast the beautiful night instead of dwelling on what never went deeper.

BAILE INoLVIDABLE (UNFoRGETTABLE DANCE)
Pensaba que contigo iba a envejecer
En otra vida, en otro mundo podrá ser
En esta sólo queda irme un día
Y solamente verte en el atardecer
I thought I was going to grow old with you
In another life, in another world it could happen
In this life all that's left for me is to leave one day
And only get to see you at sunset

Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny frames heartbreak through the metaphor of a dance floor in "BAILE INoLVIDABLE". Instead of hiding his grief, he leans straight into it with the opening realization that he thought they would grow old together ("Pensaba que contigo iba a envejecer"), but now that dream only belongs in another lifetime. He compares life to a party that eventually ends, calling his lost love his unforgettable dance ("La vida es una fiesta que un día termina / Y fuiste tú mi baile inolvidable"). Even though he admits he can sleep with anyone he wants, he only actually wants to wake up next to this one person ("Yo con cualquiera me puedo acostar / Pero no con cualquiera quiero despertar").

Bad Bunny fills the track with playful Caribbean slang to contrast the heavy sadness. He switches to the formal "usted" (you) to show deep devotion before slipping into wild compliments, calling his ex "Mi diabla, mi ángel, mi loquita" [My devil, my angel, my crazy girl]. He also uses the Puerto Rican slang word "bellaquito" (horny or aroused) when remembering how she looked at him ("Cómo tú me mirabas, bellaquito me ponía"), proving that his memories are intensely physical as well as romantic. It is an honest, bittersweet track about carrying someone's memory forever because they were the one who taught you both how to love and how to dance ("Tú me enseñaste a querer / Me enseñaste a bailar").

LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii (WHAT HAPPENED TO HAWAii)
Esto fue un sueño que yo tuve
Ella se ve bonita
Aunque a veces le vaya mal
En los ojos una sonrisa
This was a dream that I had
She looks pretty
Although sometimes things go wrong for her
A smile in her eyes

Bad Bunny gets straight to the point in this track, telling a story about the heartbreak of watching people get pushed out of his home island of Puerto Rico. He opens by framing the song as a dream about an island trying to smile through pain while facing heavy losses. He points fingers directly at political greed with lines like "No quería irse pa' Orlando / Pero el corrupto lo echó" ("He didn't want to leave for Orlando / But the corrupt person threw him out"). The song calls out outsiders taking over local spaces—"Quieren quitarme el río / Y también la playa" ("They want to take my river / And the beach too")—while older generations (abuelita) and younger families are forced to pack up and leave.

What makes this track stand out is its urgent plea not to lose local identity in the face of gentrification and displacement. Bad Bunny warns Puerto Ricans by pointing to what happened in Hawaii, where native locals were largely displaced from their own lands. He begs listeners, "No, no sueltes la bandera / Ni olvides el lelolai" ("Don't let go of the flag / Nor forget the lelolai"). The word "jíbaro" refers to the traditional Puerto Rican countryside folk, while "lelolai" is the signature melodic phrase used in Puerto Rican folk music (jíbaro music). By shouting out these roots, he turns the song into a call to stay, fight back, and hold on to home.

Desde El Corazón (From The Heart)
Benito Martínez de Puerto Rico
Empezamos de abajo ahora somos ricos
Pero nunca olvido de donde salí
Y donde fue que mi primer tema escribí
Benito Martínez from Puerto Rico
We started from the bottom now we're rich
But I never forget where I came from
And where it was that I wrote my first song

In "Desde El Corazón", Bad Bunny puts his pride for Puerto Rico front and center. He looks back at his quick rise from working as a supermarket grocery bagger ("Ayer era bagger" [Yesterday I was a bagger]) to becoming a global star with too much money to fit in Puerto Rico's largest bank ("Aunque en el Banco Popular no quepa mi dinero" [Even if my money doesn't fit in Banco Popular]). Even though he compares his high demand in music to NBA star Stephen Curry getting recruited by the Golden State Warriors, he insists on staying loyal to local Puerto Rican basketball teams like the Cangrejeros, Capitanes, and Vaqueros. He reminds everyone that no matter how rich he gets across cities from San Juan to Mayagüez, he will never forget his roots or where he wrote his very first track.

The song turns into an anthem of resilience and cultural pride, especially when he declares that he will stay on the island even when natural disasters hit ("Y yo me quedo en Puerto Rico aunque venga María" [And I stay in Puerto Rico even if Hurricane María comes]). He uses the local phrase "meter mano" (to put in hard work) and "tener cría" (to have guts and heart) to praise how tough Puerto Ricans are. He even pulls in an anime joke by calling his people "sayayines" with plenty of "Ki" (the Super Saiyan warriors and energy from Dragon Ball Z). He finishes by giving thanks to his mother for giving birth to him near the beach and the native coquí tree frog, shouting out the salsa and reggaeton legends who inspired his entire generation—including Héctor Lavoe, Tego Calderón, and Daddy Yankee.

Un Verano Sin Ti (A Summer Without You)
No sé qué pasó
Otro amor que de repente fracasó
En mi cuarto está lloviendo y afuera está el sol
Dime qué pasó
I don't know what happened
Another love that suddenly fell apart
It's raining in my room while the sun is shining outside
Tell me what happened

Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny gives us the ultimate sad-boy breakup track with "Un Verano Sin Ti", mixing heavy heartbreak with moments that make you chuckle. While it is bright and sunny outside, he is stuck indoors feeling like it is raining in his room ("En mi cuarto está lloviendo y afuera está el sol"). He takes the blame for the split with a brutally honest apology: "Sorry por ser yo / Y no ser el hombre que te merecías / Yo quizá madure pero en otra vida" ("Sorry for being me and not being the man you deserved; maybe I'll mature in another life"). He admits that while he claims he is fine, her name still keeps him awake at night, thinking about broken plans and missed sunsets in Ibiza.

To cope, he throws himself into the nightlife scene, even though partying is not his normal routine. He uses Caribbean slang like jangueo (hanging out / partying) and teteo (a lively street party), admitting he only goes out hoping to spot his ex from across the room through the club smoke: "Mañana voy a terapia / Hoy voy pa'l teteo" ("Tomorrow I'm going to therapy, today I'm going to the party"). He even references Spanish pop legend Alejandro Sanz's famous 1997 heartbreak anthem Corazón Partío, joking that while Sanz had a broken heart, his own soul is shattered ("Alejandro Sanz con el corazón partido / Y yo con el alma rota"). It is a funny, honest look at dealing with an empty house and unsent draft messages in your phone notes when facing a lonely summer.

Enséñame A Bailar (Teach Me To Dance)
Tú y yo, yo y tú
Nos llevamos bien
Tú y yo, yo y tú
Nos llevamos bien
You and I, I and you
We get along well
You and I, I and you
We get along well

Bad Bunny drops all his tough-guy swagger here for something sweet and a little messy. It is three in the morning, he has had way too much to drink, and he openly admits he has two left feet: "enséñame a bailar, mami, yo no sé / pero ya estoy borracho y son las tres" ("teach me how to dance, mami, I don't know how / but I'm already drunk and it's three"). He is not trying to look cool on the dance floor. Instead, he just wants to follow his partner's lead until dawn ("tú y yo solitos y el sol" [you and me all alone and the sun]), completely caught up in how they move.

What makes the track pop is its warm Dominican flavor. When Bad Bunny drops phrases like "¿Qué lo qué?" ("What's up?") and "Que rico se pasa en Quisqueya" ("How great it is in the Dominican Republic"), he is shouting out the island by its indigenous Taíno name, Quisqueya. He sprinkles in local slang throughout the party, using "rulin" (chilling or having a blast) and offering to foot the bill no matter how wild things get: "rompe todo que yo pago" ("break everything, I'll pay for it"). It is a playful, late-night anthem about letting your guard down, getting bold with your crush, and letting music do the talking.

Tití Me Preguntó (Auntie Asked Me)
Que lindo está ese nene de tití
Mira que grande tú estás
¿Tú tienes muchas novias verdad?
¿Cuantas novias tú tienes?
How cute Auntie’s little boy is
Look how big you are
You have many girlfriends right?
How many girlfriends do you have?

Ever had an aunt who will not stop asking about your dating life? That is the exact setup for Bad Bunny's mega-hit "Tití Me Preguntó". In Puerto Rico and across the Spanish-speaking world, "tití" is an affectionate word for aunt. The song starts like a family gathering where an aunt asks how many girlfriends he has. Instead of giving a sensible answer, Benito turns it into a wild brag list. He flexes about having a different girl every day ("Hoy tengo una, mañana otra, pero no hay boda" [Today I have one, tomorrow another, but there's no wedding]) and rattles off names from kindergarten crushes to dates across Colombia, Mexico, and Spain.

Then the track flips the script. An older family member scolds him to settle down, and suddenly the party rhythm turns into an honest, downbeat confession. He admits he cannot fall in love ("Yo quisiera enamorarme / Pero no puedo" [I would like to fall in love / But I can't]) because he has serious trust issues—even with himself ("ni en mí mismo confío" [I don't even trust myself]). He bluntly warns anyone getting close that he is going to break their heart. It is funny, chaotic, and surprisingly self-aware all at once.

DtMF (Debí Tirar Más Fotos | I Should Have Taken More Photos)
Otro sunset bonito que veo en San Juan
Disfrutando de todas esas cosas que extrañan los que se van
Disfrutando de noches de esas que ya no se dan
Que ya no se dan
Another beautiful sunset that I see in San Juan
Enjoying all those things that those who leave miss
Enjoying nights like those that don't happen anymore
That don't happen anymore

In "DtMF", Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny mixes tropical party energy with a sharp hit of regret. The song title stands for the central confession repeated in the chorus: "Debí tirar más fotos de cuando te tuve" ("I should have taken more photos when I had you"). Watching a sunset in San Juan, he thinks about an ex and kicks himself for not taking more pictures or giving more hugs while he had the chance. Instead of staying home to mope, he rallies his real-life crew (calling out friends like Roro, Julito, and Cristal) to tear up the streets, play dominoes with his grandfather, and head to Santurce for a wild night out.

The track is packed with local Puerto Rican slang and culture. When he mentions partying to "la salsa, la bomba y la plena", he is shouting out traditional Afro-Puerto Rican musical styles alongside modern reggaeton perreo. He admits he is drinking so much that someone else needs to drive ("Cabrón, guía tú" / "Dude, you drive"), and by the end, he stops everything to gather his entire circle for a group photo: "vamos pa' la foto, vengan pa'cá" ("let's take the photo, come over here"). It is a song about realizing that moments slip away fast, so you might as well hold your friends close, document the good times, and dance through the nostalgia.

Efecto (Effect)
No sé si es casualidad
Que yo me sienta así
Siempre que tú estás cerquita de mí
Dime qué me hiciste
I don't know if it's a coincidence
That I feel like this
Whenever you are very close to me
Tell me what you did to me

Bad Bunny hits you with pure, bouncy reggaeton energy in "Efecto", comparing the intense rush of falling for someone to an overwhelming chemical high. In the hook, he admits his life outside might be a mess, but everything suddenly feels flawless the second she steps in: "Mi mundo está jodido / Y me siento perfecto / Porque estás tú, aquí" ("My world is messed up / And I feel perfect / Because you are here"). When she looks at him, he starts sweating and feels like he can fly, straight-up asking what substance she slipped into his drink because he has not been the same since that first night.

He leans heavy into bold Puerto Rican street slang to explain why he is hooked. He jokes that her ex lost her through sheer carelessness, rapping "El gatito tuyo te perdió por negligencia / Y yo que no creo en la abstinencia" ("Your guy lost you due to negligence / And me, I don't believe in abstinence"). He shouts out her home base of Carolina, Puerto Rico ("de Carola"), calls out a trip to Florence ("Florencia"), and notes how she acts stuck-up now ("se puso más bicha") without losing her real roots. Even with a whole list of party substances in the lyrics, he makes it clear she is the one running the show: "Eres tú quien me controla" ("It's you who controls me").

EL MUNDO ES MÍO (THE WORLD IS MINE)
¿Quién dijo que no? Que no puedo
Yo hago lo que me dé la gana
¿Quién dijo que no? Que no puedo
Yo hago lo que me dé la gana
Who said no? That I couldn’t?
I do whatever I want
Who said no? That I couldn’t?
I do whatever I want

This song is Bad Bunny at his most confident, and it's impossible not to feel it too. The whole message is a powerful declaration of self-belief, starting with the hook: "¿Quién dijo que no? Que no puedo / Yo hago lo que me dé la gana" (Who said no? That I can't? / I do whatever I want). He's not just talking about himself, though. He immediately follows up the line "El mundo es mío" (The world is mine) with "El mundo es tuyo" (The world is yours), turning his personal anthem into an invitation for everyone to feel the same way.

He spends the rest of the song listing exactly why he feels this way, and it's a masterclass in bragging. He claims his legacy is eternal, saying God told him he'll last forever, unlike what salsa legend Héctor Lavoe sang about everything having an end. He even boasts that if boxing champion Floyd Mayweather challenged him, "también lo derroto" (I'd defeat him too). It's over-the-top, fun, and completely infectious. He's telling you he's on top of the world and wants you to join him there.

PIToRRO DE COCO (Coconut Homemade Rum)
Otra Navidad en la que te pedí
Otra Navidad que no estás aquí
Feliz Año Nuevo pero no tan feliz
Te dieron un beso a las doce
Another Christmas in which I asked for you
Another Christmas that you're not here
Happy New Year but not so happy
Someone gave you a kiss at midnight

Bad Bunny hits us with a messy holiday heartbreak story in "PIToRRO DE COCO". Instead of celebrating New Year's Eve, he is sitting around watching the clock tick past midnight while nursing a broken heart. Exactly a year ago, he was the one receiving that first midnight kiss. Now, he got nothing: "Ni una llamada, ni un sólo mensaje" (Not a call, not a single message). His friends are teasing him because he is completely lost in his feelings, or as he puts it, "en un viaje" (tripping out / spaced out). By four minutes past midnight, he is already crying into the coconut moonshine his grandfather gave him to party with, not to weep over an ex.

The lyrics mix holiday traditions with Puerto Rican domino slang to show how badly she outplayed him. He jokes that he asked both Santa and the Three Kings (Los Reyes) to bring her back, but neither delivered. Then he uses a classic game metaphor: "Con el doble seis y doble cinco, me trancaste el juego" (With the double six and double five, you locked the game on me). In Puerto Rican dominoes, "trancar el juego" means blocking the board so nobody can play, leaving the player with the heaviest tiles to lose. Even though he calls her toxic and admits he ignored the red flags just to keep kissing her, he still can't get her face out of his head as the new year starts.

Ojitos Lindos (Pretty Little Eyes)
Hace mucho tiempo le hago caso al corazón
Y pasan los días, los meses pensando en tu olor
Ha llegado el tiempo para usar la razón
Antes que sea tarde y sin querer me parta en dos
I've been following my heart for a long time
And the days and months go by while I think about your scent
The time has arrived to use reason
Before it’s too late and I end up breaking in two without meaning to

In "Ojitos Lindos," Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny teams up with Colombian band Bomba Estéreo for an unexpectedly sweet reggaeton track about falling completely head-over-heels. The narrator had spent a long time closed off from romance—admitting "Hace tiempo que no agarro a nadie de la mano" ["It's been a long time since I held anyone's hand"] and "Hace tiempo que no envío 'Buenos días, te amo'" ["It's been a long time since I sent a 'Good morning, I love you'"]—before crashing unexpectedly into someone new. Once those pretty eyes ("ojitos lindos") enter the frame, all emotional defenses crumble immediately. Bad Bunny drops his past romantic flings without a second thought, bluntly stating, "Bye-bye a los culos, ni me despedí" ["Bye-bye to the flings/booty calls, I didn't even say goodbye"].

What makes this track stand out is its joyful surrender to the moment, trading worldly status for simple dates. He mentions ignoring his luxury watch completely ("Cuando estoy contigo, yo no miro el Rolex" ["When I'm with you, I don't check the Rolex"]) in favor of hunting for seashells on the beach and dancing through two hundred songs. The central refrain ("Hoy he vuelto a nacer" ["Today I am reborn"]) celebrates the feeling of getting a fresh start with someone who makes mistakes feel harmless, proving that a single loving gaze can completely reset your life.

Otro Atardecer (Another Sunset)
Aún quedan dos botellas de vino
Por si se juntan nuestros caminos
Y no hay que encontrar el atardecer
Hay mucho de mí que te faltó conocer
There are still two bottles of wine
In case our paths cross
And there's no need to find the sunset
There’s a lot about me that you didn’t get to know

Ever had a memory of someone that you just can't shake? That's the heart of this song. Bad Bunny is thinking about a past lover, hoping their paths will cross again. He's even saved two bottles of wine, just in case! He remembers a specific moment, a perfect kiss where he got lost in her eyes: "Que el sol se escondió / Mientras la noche llegaba / No sé qué sucedió / Pero me perdí en tu mirada" [The sun hid / While the night arrived / I don't know what happened / But I got lost in your gaze]. He feels like they didn't get enough time together and there's still so much more to learn about each other.

But it's not all sweet memories! He's also ready to drop everything for a reunion right now. He tells her, "Búscame, ya estoy vestido" [Look for me, I'm already dressed], and makes some pretty direct promises about what will happen when they're together. He even says, "Tú a mí me gustas más que el dinero" [I like you more than money], which is a bold statement! The song mixes this intense longing with the dreamy English vocals from The Marías, creating a perfect late-night vibe for thinking about someone you miss.

NUEVAYoL (Nueva York | New York)
Si te quieres divertir con encanto y con primor
Sólo tienes que vivir un verano en Nueva York
Si te quieres divertir con encanto y con primor
Sólo tienes que vivir un verano en Nueva York
If you want to have fun with charm and with beauty
You just have to live a summer in New York
If you want to have fun with charm and with beauty
You just have to live a summer in New York

Bad Bunny drops you straight into the humid, loud energy of a Latino summer in New York City with "NUEVAYoL". The track opens with a classic salsa-style hook: "Si te quieres divertir con encanto y con primor / Sólo tienes que vivir un verano en Nueva York" ("If you want to have fun with charm and beauty / You only have to live a summer in New York"). From there, he rolls through famous Dominican and Puerto Rican strongholds across the city. He shouts out the Bronx and cruising Washington Heights on the Fourth of July while feeling rulay (a Dominican slang term for partying, loose, and carefree). He stops at casa de Toñita—the famous social club in Williamsburg, Brooklyn—for a shot of cañita (homemade, unrefined Puerto Rican moonshine rum), bragging that right there, "PR se siente cerquita" ("PR feels close").

He uses the rest of the track to flex his dominance in music while stacking up cultural references. He compares his legacy to salsa legend Willie Colón ("me dicen el malo" ["they call me the bad guy"]) and art icon Frida Kahlo, claiming his records sell just like her paintings. He even asks how he became the king of pop using only "reguetón y dembow", comparing his heavy flow to Dominican rapper Lápiz Conciente and Bronx hip-hop giant Big Pun. Whether he is shouting out baseball star Juan Soto or talking about hitting home runs like the Yankees and Mets, the track turns into a pure party anthem. By the end, it boils down to flirting in the club over crisp hundred-dollar bills: "Tú tienes piquete, mami, yo también" ("You have swagger, mami, I do too").

TE DESEO LO MEJOR (I WISH YOU THE BEST)
Yo sé que soy un cabrón
Que no merezco tu perdón
Te juro que no es mi intención
Pero si escuchas esta canción
I know that I'm a jerk
That I don't deserve your forgiveness
I swear that it's not my intention
But if you listen to this song

Bad Bunny kicks this song off with a pretty direct admission: 'Yo sé que soy un cabrón' (I know I'm an asshole). This isn't a song about being heartbroken; it's about being the heartbreaker. The Puerto Rican superstar spends the whole track admitting he was a terrible boyfriend. He knows he doesn't deserve forgiveness for lying and breaking promises. He's completely self-aware, calling himself 'lo peor' (the worst) and telling his ex that she deserves to be happy without him.

He even recognizes the damage he's caused, saying that because of him, she doesn't want anyone to talk to her about love anymore. He asks, '¿De qué valen las flores y los regalos?' (What are flowers and gifts worth?) when he's the source of her pain. Instead of trying to fix things, he decides to leave before he can 'destroce' (destroy) her heart again, calling himself a 'cobarde' (coward) for it. In the end, all he can offer is the song's title: 'Te deseo lo mejor' (I wish you the best).

Neverita (Little Fridge)
Yo estoy puesto pa' ti
Y tú te me quitas
Diablo, qué piquete la chamaquita
El corazón lo puso en la neverita
I am ready for you
And you pull away from me
Damn, that girl's got so much swag
She put her heart in the fridge

Bad Bunny is crushing hard here, but the girl he likes is not making it easy. He wants to be with her, singing "Yo estoy puesto pa' ti / Y tú te me quitas" ("I'm ready for you / And you pull away from me"). She has put her heart on ice for the season—literally "en la neverita" ("in the little cooler")—and decided to stay single all summer. Still, that does not mean she is lonely. Her inbox is flooded with messages ("El DM explotado"), and there is a whole line of guys waiting for her attention. Bad Bunny even jokes that she treats him like a joke, pleading "me tienes de meme" ("you've got me looking like a meme").

Puerto Rican slang really brings the beach setting to life throughout the track. When he shouts "Diablo, qué piquete la chamaquita" ("Damn, what swagger the young girl has"), he uses piquete to describe her cool confidence and chamaquita for a young woman. Instead of giving up, he keeps trying everyday summer pick-up moves. He offers to apply her sunscreen ("sunblock"), grab her a beer, and just hang out watching TikTok videos ("viendo TikTok"). It is a playful, self-deprecating track about chasing someone who is having far too much fun keeping her options open.

Moscow Mule (Cocktail)
Si yo no te escribo, tú no me escribes
Si tú quieres, te busco, yo sé dónde tú vives
Quizá hoy está aborrecida
Pero por dentro tú tienes alegría
If I don't write to you, you don't write to me
If you want, I'll pick you up, I know where you live
Maybe she's annoyed today
But inside you have joy

Bad Bunny kicks off his album Un Verano Sin Ti with this absolute banger about a secret, no-strings-attached hookup. He and this girl have a very specific arrangement: they don't text each other first, and they keep things low-key. He says, "No somos nada, pero estamos envueltos hace rato" (We're nothing, but we've been involved for a while). It's all about keeping it casual and secret, like when he mentions "Whatsapp sin el retrato, no guarda mi contacto" (Whatsapp without a profile picture, you don't save my contact). It's all very "underwater" as he puts it.

The whole song is a build-up to a wild night. Bad Bunny is super direct about his intentions, telling her "Dos tragos y sabes que me pongo bellaco" (Two drinks and you know I get horny). He's not trying to be romantic; he's promising a good time and a physical connection that's so intense she won't forget it. The vibe is all about escaping boredom and living in the moment, fueled by a few Moscow Mules and the promise of some serious perreo.

Yo Perreo Sola (I Twerk Alone)
Antes tú me pichabas
Ahora yo picheo
Antes tú no querías
Ahora yo no quiero
Back then you used to ignore me
Now I'm the one ignoring you
Before you didn't want anything to do with me
Now I don't want to

Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny flips the script on traditional club anthems with "Yo Perreo Sola" (I dance alone). The track kicks off with a blunt message to someone who ignored her in the past: "Antes tú me pichabas / Ahora yo picheo" (Before you ignored me / Now I'm ignoring you). In Puerto Rican slang, "pichear" means to ignore or brush someone off, and here the tables have completely turned. Now, she hits the dance floor on her own terms, making sure no sleazy guys ("babosos") get in her personal space while she dances.

The lyrics sketch out a woman who does not need anyone's permission to have a wild night. She climbs onto tables, stashes her blunts inside a luxury bag ("Los Phillies en las Louis Vuitton los guarda"), and embraces being single. Bad Bunny drops fun pop-culture references too, comparing her wild attitude to Nairobi from the TV show Money Heist ("Una malcriada como Nairobi") and her confidence to singer Natti Natasha ("Está bien dura como Natti"). She even stopped believing in romance after his own heartbreak hit "Amorfoda" ("No cree en amor desde Amorfoda"). Her motto is simple: "Vamos a perrear, la vida es corta" (Let's dance, life is short).

EoO (Perreoo, -eoo | Grinding / Dancing Eeo)
Ella viene por ahí y nunca llega sola
Ella nunca llega sola
To' los bandidos se sueltan las pistolas
Esta noche es lo que hay
She comes around and never comes alone
She never comes alone
All the bandits drop their guns
That's what's up tonight

Bad Bunny takes us straight into a sweaty, high-octane club night with "EoO", teaming up with legendary producer Tainy to deliver pure, unfiltered old-school reggaeton. The track wastes zero time with polite small talk: it is completely centered on perreo (a close, grinding style of dance) and bellaqueo (intense flirtation and lust). Bad Bunny sets the scene immediately as a woman walks into the club flanked by her crew, turning heads so fast that "to' los bandidos se sueltan las pistolas" ("all the gangsters drop their guns"). From there, the lyrics dive headfirst into hedonism, flexing luxury purchases like a "BM" (a BMW) and an "AP" (an Audemars Piguet luxury watch), while warning anyone trying to interrupt the party with "no la llames en el jangueo, si no quieres que mienta" ("don't call her while she's partying, unless you want her to lie").

What makes the track hit so hard is how Bad Bunny proudly roots his sound in 1990s Puerto Rican street culture. He directly calls out his status, declaring "me siento como un bichote en los noventa" ("I feel like a 90s kingpin"), using the Puerto Rican slang bichote to channel the swagger of old-school neighborhood bosses. By the time the beat winds down, he breaks into a spoken-word outro to remind everyone that this rhythm was born and raised "en los caseríos, en los barrios" ("in the housing projects, in the neighborhoods"). It is loud, explicit, hilarious in its directness, and completely devoted to keeping the dance floor moving.

CAFé CON RON (COFFee WITH RUM)
Por la mañana, café, por la tarde, ron
Ya estamos en la calle, sal de tu balcón
Por la mañana, café, por la tarde, ron
Ya estamos en la calle, sal de tu balcón
Coffee in the morning, rum in the afternoon
We're already out on the street, come down from your balcony
Coffee in the morning, rum in the afternoon
We're already out on the street, come down from your balcony

Bad Bunny teams up with Los Pleneros de la Cresta for an energetic track celebrating island life, community, and non-stop partying. The routine is simple: "Por la mañana, café, por la tarde, ron" ("In the morning, coffee, in the afternoon, rum"). The song calls out towns and neighborhoods across Puerto Rico, from Arecibo to Ponce and Llorens to Canales, urging everyone to step out onto their balconies and join the crowd.

Instead of heading into the city, the party moves up into the hills. Bad Bunny invites friends to make the trek with "Sube tú pa' la montaña, porque hoy yo me quedo acá" ("Come up to the mountain, because today I am staying here"), stating that true community values ("los códigos de verdad") live up in the countryside. The lyrics celebrate classic Puerto Rican pastimes like chinchorreo (traveling in groups from one small bar or food stand to another) and car culture with lines about burning rubber and engine torque ("chillando goma, botando humo... sientan el torque"). Just watch your step on the ride down: "Ten cuidado... Que no te vayas por risco" ("Be careful... so you don't go off a cliff").

Mía (Mine)
Todos están pendiente a ti
Pero tú puesta pa' mí
Haciendo que me odien más
Porque todos te quieren probar
Everyone is watching you
But you're all about me
Making them hate me more
Because everyone wants a taste of you

Mía is a massive flex about mutual obsession and claiming your partner in front of everyone else. Bad Bunny and Drake team up to tell other guys to back off because their girl's attention is entirely locked on them. Bad Bunny opens by pointing out that while everyone is staring at her, she is only interested in him: "Todos están pendiente a ti, pero tú puesta pa' mí" ("Everyone is watching you, but you're focused on me"). The whole vibe is confident and possessive, built around the simple demand to tell the world who she belongs to: "Dile que tú eres mía, mía" ("Tell them that you are mine, mine").

The lyrics mix heavy romantic devotion with everyday swagger and street slang. Drake drops lines about how her eyes focus him like medication ("Tus ojos me concentran como Adderall" ["Your eyes focus me like Adderall"]) and boasts that he boosts her status in video game terms with "Contigo me sube el overall" ("With you, my overall rating goes up"). Bad Bunny throws in Puerto Rican slang, calling himself the favorite son-in-law of her mother ("El yerno favorito de tu mai'") and bragging that their bond goes back to high school ("desde la high"). He even jokes that he is her Romeo, but not bachata singer Romeo Santos ("Yo soy tu Romeo, pero no Santos"), while telling internet admirers to stop hitting the like button on her pictures. It is direct, playful, and completely hooked on romance.

Dákiti (Name Of A Club & A Beach)
Baby, ya yo me enteré, se nota cuando me ves
Ahí donde no has llegado sabes que yo te llevaré
Y dime qué quieres beber, es que tú eres mi bebé
¿Y de nosotros quién va a hablar? Si no nos dejamos ver
Baby, I already found out, you can tell when you see me
Anywhere you haven't been, you know I'll take you there
And tell me what you want to drink, because you're my baby
And who's going to talk about us if we never let ourselves be seen?

Dákiti is an irresistible, late-night reggaeton anthem where Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny and Jhay Cortez flex their wealth, desire, and secret romance. The vibe is smooth and direct: they know their love interest wants them back, asking, "¿Y de nosotros quién va a hablar? Si no nos dejamos ver" ("And who's going to talk about us? If we don't let ourselves be seen"). Between designer labels like Dolce, Bulgari, and Louis Vuitton, the track lays out a lifestyle of luxury, cruising through San Juan's tourist-heavy district ("Dando vueltas por Condado" ["Driving around Condado"]), and showering someone with cash ("Toma cinco mil, gástalo en Sephora" ["Take five grand, spend it in Sephora"]).

What makes the lyrics fun is how they mix over-the-top devotion with local slang. Bad Bunny admits he is completely hooked ("Mami, me tienes juqueado" ["Mommy, you have me hooked"]), while Cortez describes a woman who broke away from past heartbreak to focus on her goals: "Estudiosa, puesta pa' ser doctora / Pero le gustan los títeres wheeleando motoras" ("Studious, focused on becoming a doctor / But she likes bad boys doing wheelies on dirt bikes"). From promising to wait up patiently in bed to telling her friends' opinions don't matter at all ("A mí sin cojones lo que digan tus amigas"), the track is all about total infatuation, zero drama, and private indulgence.

Si Veo A Tu Mamá (If I See Your Mom)
Pero qué tú haces
Haciendo
No sé, todo lo que hago lo hago mal
Soy un fracaso
But what are you doing?
Doing
I don't know, everything I do, I do wrong
I'm a failure

Starting with a skit where someone cures their depression simply by putting on Bad Bunny, this track sets up a ridiculously upbeat, playful beat for a deeply relatable post-breakup spiral. The Puerto Rican star admits right away that while he knows moving on is for the best, he cannot stop himself from caring. He sings, "Y si veo a tu mamá, yo le pregunto por ti" ("And if I see your mom, I'll ask her about you"), desperate to find out if his ex has found someone new who makes them happy.

Bad Bunny keeps it painfully honest and funny as he lists how bad life has been lately. He got fired from work for moping around ("cabizbajo" means looking down with your chin against your chest), gained weight, and copes by only posting internet memes. Instead of actually deleting his ex's pictures, he just changed their status to private ("solo la puse privada"). By the time 5:00 AM rolls around after a night out drinking with his friends, his promise not to talk about her completely falls apart: "Si no prenden la voy a llamar" ("If they don't light up [a joint], I'm going to call her"). It is a messy, laugh-out-loud confession of someone who is still completely hung up six months later.
