The album’s opening track, “NUEVAYoL,” immediately sets the tone with a sound unlike anything we’ve heard from Bad Bunny before. The song pays homage to the deep connection between Puerto Rico and New York City, two places that have shaped Latin music’s evolution, particularly in genres like salsa, hip-hop, and reggaeton.
Meanwhile, “PIToRRO DE COCO” celebrates the essence of Puerto Rican culture—enjoying life, partying, and embracing the moment without overthinking. The song serves as a direct connection to his Puerto Rican audience, capturing the spirit of celebration and community.
One of the most emotional tracks on the album, “LO QUE PASÓ EN HAWAii,” resonates with millions of immigrants. The lyrics, “Aquí nadie quiso irse, quien se va sueña con volver. Si algún día me tocara, que mucho me va a doler,” reflect the pain of leaving one’s homeland, a sentiment shared by many of Bad Bunny’s Latin American listeners.
Within days of the album’s release, “DtMF” became a viral sensation across social media. The song’s title, an acronym for the album name that translates to “I should’ve taken more pictures,” evokes a deep sense of nostalgia. Fans quickly embraced the song, using its lyrics to create videos featuring loved ones they had to leave behind when immigrating.
Bad Bunny continues to solidify his influence as a global ambassador of Latin music. With this album, he not only delivers powerful storytelling but also unites fans through shared emotions, culture, and a sound that transcends borders.
