Bad Bunny writes all his own lyrics exclusively in Spanish, a deliberate artistic choice he has never compromised despite immense commercial pressure to record in English. His authorship rate is effectively 100% across his entire discography, and his lyrics are notable for their specificity to Puerto Rican culture and speech patterns, their candid treatment of masculinity and emotion, and their playful, ever-shifting self-presentation.

The Story
Bad Bunny (born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, March 10, 1994) is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter who has become the most-streamed artist in the world (a distinction he held on Spotify for multiple consecutive years) and one of the defining artists of the 2020s globally. He grew up in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, bagging groceries at a supermarket while uploading music to SoundCloud, and his 2017 collaboration 'Sube y Baja' with DJ Luian and Mambo Kingz led to a deal with Hear This Music and an introduction to DJ Snake, whose 'Taki Taki' spread his name internationally. His debut album X 100pre (2018) was released on Christmas Eve with 24 hours' notice and announced his complete artistic vision: Latin trap, reggaeton, R&B, and ballads delivered in unfiltered, colloquial Puerto Rican Spanish, with Bad Bunny writing every word himself. YHLQMDLG (2020) and El Último Tour del Mundo (2020), which became the first all-Spanish album to reach number one on the Billboard 200, established him as a generational phenomenon. Un Verano Sin Ti (2022) became the most-streamed Spanish-language album in history and the first Spanish-language album to be nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Beyond music, Bad Bunny has become a cultural crossover figure through his work in professional wrestling (WWE), acting (Bullet Train), and fashion.
