Bad Bunny Album Review

NADIE SABE

‘NADIE SABE’ is a sentimental start to the long awaited album; Bad Bunny speaks over a soft instrumental, with a mixture of different instruments, about whether or not he's happy where he is. Bad Bunny speaks on how he, nor anyone else in the world, has any idea what is going to happen tomorrow. Bad Bunny displays a list of relatable lyrics, speaking whilst carrying an indescribable flow along with him. ‘NADIE SABE’ has an interlude within itself that summarizes the emotional grit throughout the whole song.

“I know I'm not perfect, and I don't want to be either

I like being the way I am: sometimes good, sometimes bad

And from now on, all the decisions in my life will be made thinking of me and only me because in the end you will never be able to please everyone

Someone will always love you and someone will always hate you”
MR. OCTOBER

Bad Bunny floods ‘MR. OCTOBER’ with nostalgia and stellar wordplay; a whistling sound effect can be heard traveling within the chorus, highlighting a playful feel to the song, in addition to the beat that is given. ‘MR. OCTOBER’ speaks upon the intricacy of life, personal growth and self-worth. Bad Bunny stands out on songs like ‘MR. OCTOBER’, as he gives out a mix of rap and reggaeton.

“Sometimes I wish I'd go broke to start hustling all over again

And become a millionaire again, watch how I move

Watch how I move, I changed the game

Talk to me about money and I’ll be there at once, ey, if not, we'll talk later”
VOU 787

‘VOU 787’ delivers a soft beat, arguably being one of the most comfortable beats on the album. ’VOU 787’ is about Bad Bunny and his love for being in the famous photoshoot company, ‘Vogue’. Surprisingly, ‘VOU 787’ is inspired and sampled by ‘Vogue’ by Madonna, going further by mentioning her within the song.

“I don't speak in English, american

I look like a French model, Guyanese

If I were a woman, I'd be Madonna, I'd be Rihanna (RiRi)

Setting trends; Mariana and Silvana, jum, yes, ey”
GRACIAS POR NADA

‘GRACIAS POR NADA’ is a final wave goodbye to a failed relationship, with him thanking the partner for nothing. Bad Bunny infers that the partner cheated on him, with him saying “I already caught you, you’re leaving embarrassed”. ‘GRACIAS POR NADA’ displays Bad Bunny’s skill to adjust to any instrumental given, with him rapping over a mix of a piano and a melodic instrumental; Bad Bunny takes this song as a chance to look back on all the right and wrong he did, despite the status of the relationship.

“You're good-looking, but that's not beauty

Beautiful is when they always tell the truth

I'm not here for this and much less at this age, ayy

The bad days don't stop coming, heh

I'm hated, I'm gonna move to Kansas

I failed more than you, but by giving you my trust

Ayy, ayy”
BABY NUEVA

Bad Bunny never surprises on soft-paced instrumentals; ‘BABY NUEVA’ is about Bad Bunny moving on, despite his old partner being ‘better’ after the separation between the two. At the very start of ‘BABY NUEVA’, Bad Bunny even states that he’s no longer hurt, and how he’s seen at the club living better than he ever has. ‘BABY NUEVA’ exposes how large of a vocal range Bad Bunny has, whilst still rapping about his new life without his partner in the middle of it all.

“I swear it no longer hurts me, no longer hurts me

I get to the club and it lights up at once

My love, you're missing out, you're missing out

That she has someone else doesn't surprise me”
NO ME QUIERO CASAR

Bad Bunny introduces ‘NO ME QUIERO CASAR’ by speaking on the fact that he refuses to get married; this may be because of personal or health issues, either way, Bad Bunny refuses to devote to a single person. ‘NO ME QUIERO CASAR’ samples an old reggaeton song from the early 2000s, ‘La Calle Me Lo Pidió’ by Yandel. Bad Bunny’s producer, ‘TAINY’, is responsible for replicating and altering the melodious beat offered on ‘NO ME QUIERO CASAR’.

“Because tomorrow I don't what will happen

I feel sad, but I'll get over it, heh

My life is tough, ayy

I don't wanna get married …

I don't wanna get married, ayy

I'll practice celibacy for now, I'm gonna enjoy things for a while

I don't wanna get married”
MONACO

‘MONACO,’ the second song on the album, indicates Bad Bunny respecting his future and self-success, as he states he exclusively knows the route to success. Bad Bunny explains how envy can either be towards him or towards others. Despite this, Bad Bunny respectfully boasts and speaks on his skilled sights of music, whilst making a proclamation of his dominance and achievements. ‘MONACO’ can be seen as a depiction and perspective of Bad Bunny, as it continues in the music industry with fame and inspiration.

”I'm a champion, Rocky Marciano, Rocky Balboa

Rocky Maivia

Got the route, I got the way, yes

I have the way

Spend it all night, I bill all day”
