Verse 1
Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome
It's f*cking awesome
Reggaetón came out of Carolina
And the sons of b*tches from Bayamón
They want to ride the wave and haven't been to Rincón
A little kiss to grandma on the balcony
Hitting all the potholes, in the Rubicon
Puerto f*ckin' Rico
Verse 1
Land of Maelo and Tego Calderón
Ismael Ruiz Hernández, better known as Maelo Ruiz, is a New York City-born Puerto Rican Salsa singer. Tegui Calderón Rosario is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer and actor
And of Barea, the one who was champion
José Juan Barea Mora is a Puerto Rican former professional basketball player
Before LeBron
Damn it, another blackout
Let's go to the bleachers, to light a blunt
Before Pipo gets slapped
Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome
It's f*cking awesome
Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome
Verse 1
Forget Maldives
I'm staying in Palomino
If not, I'm going to the Dominican Republic
A shoutout to my neighbors
Here the heat is different
The sun is Taíno
The capital of perreo
Now everyone wants to be Latino, no
But they lack seasoning
Drums and reggaetón
Watch out for my crew
'Cause we are a lot
They lack seasoning
Drums and reggaetón
Watch out for my crew
'Cause we are a lot
Welcome to the heat
I like the p*ssy from Puerto Rico
I like the p*ssy
I like the p*ssy from Puerto Rico
I like it, I like it, I like it
I like the p*ssy from
I like the p*ssy from Puerto Rico
I like it, I like it, I like it
He says
Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome
It's f*cking awesome
Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome
It's f*cking awesome
Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome
It's f*cking awesome
Puerto Rico is f*cking awesome
It's f*cking awesome
I think that the audience knows
That this is something more or less informal
Outro 1
I don't want to leave here
I don't want to leave here
Let them go
What belongs to me
They keep it
Let them go
Outro 2
This is my beach
This is my sun
This is my land
This is me
This is my beach
This is my sun
This is my land
This is me

SONG MEANING

Bad Bunny’s “El Apagón” is a vibrant love-letter and a loud protest rolled into one. Over a contagious reggaeton beat, he shouts out hometown heroes, legendary musicians and basketball champs while bragging that “Puerto Rico está bien cabrón” – Puerto Rico is freaking amazing. The chorus praises the island’s beaches, sun and wild nightlife, yet the title (The Blackout) hints at the darker reality: constant power outages, gentrification and outside investors pushing locals out. By repeating “¡Que se vayan ellos!” (Let them leave), Bad Bunny flips the script and defends the right of Puerto Ricans to stay on their own land and keep their culture alive.

The track jumps from playful lines like “me gusta la chocha de Puerto Rico” to sharp social commentary, mirroring the island’s mix of joy and frustration. It celebrates reggaeton’s birthplace, taíno sunshine and unbreakable community spirit while calling out those who “want to ride the wave” without truly understanding its roots. In short, “El Apagón” is both a party anthem and a rallying cry: dance, sing, light up a blunt in the bleachers – but never forget who the island belongs to and why its people keep fighting to protect it.
