Bad Bunny<\/a> was announced as the Super Bowl headliner in late September, following a standout year that included a sold-out 31-night residency in Puerto Rico<\/a> and the release of his chart-topping album<\/a>, Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos. The 31-year-old artist, whose legal name is Benito Ocasio, will take the stage at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb. 8, 2026.<\/p>\n But the fact that Bad Bunny\u2019s discography is entirely in Spanish<\/a> has infuriated some, including political operative Corey Lewandowski, who suggested ICE agents should be dispatched<\/a> to the Super Bowl, and Turning Point USA, a conservative nonprofit founded by Charlie Kirk, which announced it would be hosting its own competing halftime show<\/a>. A petition to replace Puerto Rican pop star Bad Bunny with country singer George Strait as the Super Bowl LX halftime show headliner has even received tens of thousands of signatures<\/a> \u2014 the latest in a wave of backlash<\/a> against Bad Bunny\u2019s role as the first male Latin artist to headline the halftime show<\/a>.<\/p>\n Over the course of his career, Bad Bunny has said he \u201cdoesn\u2019t care<\/a>\u201d about the language barrier in his music. He told Vanity Fair<\/a> in 2023 that while he doesn\u2019t \u201chate the idea of performing in English,\u201d he has no desire to do it just to \u201creach a certain audience.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI sing for those who want to listen to me and those who understand me,\u201d he told Vanity Fair. \u201cAt the end of the day, you listen to me because you want to. I don\u2019t force you to.\u201d<\/p>\n Many listeners \u2014 especially non-Spanish-speaking fans and newcomers \u2014 are eager to better understand and appreciate his songs ahead of his historic performance, Jennifer Jin, who runs Bueno Spanish, a Spanish-language-learning website<\/a>, told Yahoo. For a lot of people who have never listened to his music before, knowing they won\u2019t understand the lyrics can feel intimidating, she said.<\/p>\n Jin told Yahoo she noticed people were asking questions to each other about the lyrics and song meanings in Bad Bunny groups on Reddit, and, instead of just translating the lyrics into English, she decided to write out analyses<\/a> of what the songs meant. She said requests for her explanations from non-Spanish-speaking listeners have surged over the past month<\/p>\n \u201cEspecially for Bad Bunny’s songs, you really have to appreciate it straight from the source via the original Spanish lyrics,\u201d she said. \u201cHe leaves so many double meanings in there that it definitely makes his music more fun to listen to when you get all the references.\u201d<\/p>\n Yahoo asked fans to name five of the best Bad Bunny songs for new listeners and non-Spanish speakers, and Jin provided brief explanations of what each track is about. These songs offer a chance to, as Bad Bunny joked in his Saturday Night Live monologue<\/a> on Oct. 4, \u201clearn\u201d some Spanish before the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n \u201cA nostalgic song that looks back on the people he used to spend time with, wishing he had taken more photos with them,\u201d Jin told Yahoo. \u201cThe D in the title stands for Deb\u00ed, which means \u2018I should have\u2019 and expresses regret about things he should have done in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cA fun and cheeky song where his aunt [Tit\u00ed] asks if he has a lot of girlfriends, so he describes all the women in his life \u2014 except he won’t settle down with any of them,\u201d according to Jin.<\/p>\n \u201cThis song is an homage to the Puerto Rican community in New York, and the lyrics reference people and places that blend both identities,\u201d Jin said.<\/p>\n \u201cThis song is about trying to get over someone by distracting himself with partying and materialism,\u201d Jin said. \u201cThe title is a reference to the Byredo perfume (Mojave Ghost<\/a>) with changed spelling \u2014 the way the Spanish B is pronounced in the song title sounds more like a V.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHe describes a girl who seems quiet and reserved but is actually bold and daring when it comes to partying and living her life,\u201d Jin said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nDtMF (2025)<\/h2>\n
