Background and promotion
[edit]On October 13, 2023, Bad Bunny released his fifth solo studio album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 184,000 units and reached the top 10 in five more countries.[5] The album release was followed up by his fifth concert tour titled the Most Wanted Tour, spanning dates from February to June 2024, all of which sold out and broke multiple records.[6] Outside of touring, Bad Bunny released collaborations with Myke Towers[7] and Rauw Alejandro[8] as well as the standalone single "Una Velita", co-produced by long-time collaborator Tainy.[9]
On December 5, 2024, the artist released the lead single "El Clúb", an "ethereal" track that fuses "pulse-quickening house beats" with a "nostalgic" feel.[10] Bad Bunny announced the album three weeks later on December 26.[11] Accompanied by the announcement was the release of the second single "Pitorro de Coco".[12] The album cover and tracklist were revealed on January 3, 2025, along with an accompanying short film on YouTube, co-directed by Bad Bunny and starring actor, filmmaker and playwright Jacobo Morales.[13][14] The visualizers for each track on YouTube displayed the history of Puerto Rico as a slide presentation, with the content being compilated by Puerto Rican professor of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Jorell Meléndez Badillo.[15] In further promotion of the album, he will perform and serve as a co-host on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 13.[16]
