Bad Bunny’s “COMPOSITOR DEL AÑO” is equal parts victory lap and wake-up call. The Puerto Rican superstar looks back on his unlikely path from altar boy to global trap icon, flexing his success while reminding listeners he is “humano primero.” Over pounding beats he pokes fun at haters, celebrates his Caribbean roots, and proudly shouts out P-R, all with his trademark swagger and humor.
Yet beneath the bravado lies a sharp social critique. Bad Bunny rails against racism, police brutality, gun violence, religious hypocrisy, misogyny, and anti-immigrant prejudice. He mourns Kobe Bryant, backs Black Lives Matter, and urges young people to vote. Even as he owns the title of “Composer of the Year,” he insists true success is using that spotlight to push for justice and let everyone be themselves. The track is a reminder that applause and awards mean little if society stays broken—so he raps, protests, and parties, all at once, hoping music can spark the change his money alone cannot buy.
