8 Quintessential Bad Bunny Songs Everyone Should Know Ahead of His Super Bowl Halftime Show
Puerto Rican singer-songwriter, rapper and producer Bad Bunny is a Latin music sensation, and the fact that he's headlining the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show is proof of his international appeal.
Even if you don't actively listen to him, you've heard of him, whether from his viral tracks, Coachella buzz, his unforgettable role in Happy Gilmore 2 or his recent appearance on Saturday Night Live (sharing the screen with the singing voices behind KPop Demon Hunters, no less). He's a huge name who's only getting bigger with every release, but even if you don't typically listen to music that's not in English, his unique Latin trap approach deserves a try. Not sure where to get started ahead of the Super Bowl? We have some top suggestions for you below.

'DtMF'
"DtMF" is essentially the title track of his latest album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which translates to "I should've taken more photos." Led by vibey synths and woozy guitars before leaping into a lively plena tune, it captures a powerfully nostalgic sound as Bad Bunny reflects on the regrets of his past and wishes he wouldn't have taken the special people and places in his life for granted. It's moody yet upbeat, beautifully capturing the way he laments his present state even as he appreciates his experiences of the past.
'BAILE INoLVIDABLE'
"BAILE INoLVIDABLE," also a DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS hit, also embraces a spacey, video game synth sound in its intro before bursting out into a traditional salsa beat. Driven by a steady drum beat, horns and piano, the song's title translates to "unforgettable dance" and tells the story of a love from the past. Despite no longer being in Bad Bunny's life, he can't get her off his mind—particularly because she was the one who taught him how to dance.
'Amorfada'
"Amorfada" is one of Bad Bunny's oldest songs, and sets a different mood as one of his most sentimental tracks about heartbreak. The piano ballad's title essentially means "f*** love," giving Bad Bunny the opportunity to cry out against love and romance in the face of a broken heart. Appropriately, the track was released on Valentine's Day, and with next year's Super Bowl arriving on Feb. 8, the timing would be perfect for the song to make an appearance.

'NEUVAYoL'
"NEAVAYoL" is yet another fan favorite off Bad Bunny's newest album, serving as a tribute to New York City (called "Neuva York" in Spanish), celebrating the energy of the city while struggling with his connection with his native Puerto Rico. It kicks off with a salsa sound, incorporating "Un Verano en Nueva York" by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico and Andy Montañez, which was a surprise hit in the U.S., before transitioning into an energetic dembow with cultural references to both the Dominican Republic and his native Puerto Rico.
'EoO'
Keeping the magic from DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS going is "EeO," a song that digs deep into classic 2000s reggaeton sounds. Indeed, the song its name from the end of "perreo," a popular type of reggaeton dance and sampling Héctor & Tito's 2002 hit "Perreo Baby." The lyrics tell a story of going out to party, dancing and romantic entanglements, with an energy that perfectly suits the club setting of its story.
'VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR'
"VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR" translates to "I'm going to take you to PR (Puerto Rico)," creating a fun reggaeton track that celebrates where he's from and the culture that comes with it. It's a romantic track but not a love song as he invites a woman to the island to have some fun, not seeking a deeper connection but the chance to have fun and party with him, because in his eyes, it's the ultimate place to let loose and celebrate.

'Soy Peor'
If you really want to get to know the music of Bad Bunny as an artist in his own right, you'll want to go back with him to the very beginning with his debut solo single, "Soy Peor." The title means "I'm worse," and it's a classic song about nursing a broken heart (and becoming worse because of it). It's Latin American trap at is finest as he sings about refusing to love again and how he was always a bad man, but how the one who left him has made him worse than ever.
'LA CANCIÓN' With J Balvin
Bad Bunny got his start with some epic collaborations with major artists, and even made an entire collab album, Oasis, with J Balvin in 2019. Its biggest hit was the moody reggaeton ballad "LA CANCIÓN," meaning "the song," sharing an all-too-familiar story about finally thinking you're over a breakup, only for a certain song you shared to pull you right back into the nostalgia of the past. Even if you've never experienced that yourself, the sad trumpet notes will make you feel like you have.
