Bad Bunny is set to ring in the new year with the release of his much-anticipated sixth studio album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos (“I Should Have Taken More Photos”), scheduled to drop on Sunday, January 5, 2025. The Puerto Rican superstar made the announcement on December 26 through a teaser video shared on his Instagram featuring iconic filmmaker Jacobo Morales. The clip reflects on themes of memory, nostalgia, and the fleeting nature of moments, as Bad Bunny narrates how, with time, he has come to wish he had taken more photos to preserve cherished memories.
The album’s release comes with the promise of 17 “bomba” tracks—a nod both to explosive hits and to the Afro-Caribbean musical style deeply rooted in Puerto Rican culture. The album includes the previously released “El Clúb” and the newly unveiled single “Pitorro de Coco,” a deeply evocative track blending jíbara rhythms with modern reggaeton.
“Pitorro de Coco” is a deeply evocative track that fuses jíbara rhythms with modern reggaeton influences. Produced by MAG, Tainy, and La Paciencia, the song incorporates elements of Chuíto el de Bayamón’s iconic Christmas music, paying homage to Puerto Rican traditions while exploring themes of loneliness, nostalgia, and celebration during the holiday season. With its heartfelt narrative and rhythmic depth, the track sets a poignant tone for the album.
Debí Tirar Más Fotos is shaping up to be another groundbreaking entry in Bad Bunny’s career, blending cultural introspection with genre innovation. Following his 2023 album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (“Nobody Knows What Will Happen Tomorrow”), which explored Latin trap and reggaeton, this new project promises to deepen his exploration of identity, memory, and Puerto Rican heritage. The teaser video featuring Morales—one of Puerto Rico’s most celebrated cinematic voices—adds a layer of artistic gravitas, signaling an album that is as much a personal statement as it is a celebration of culture.
The album also caps off an incredibly busy and prolific year for Bad Bunny, who has continued to dominate global music charts while expanding his horizons in film and activism. In addition to releasing new music, he’s set to appear in Darren Aronofsky’s crime drama Caught Stealing and the much-anticipated comedy sequel Happy Gilmore 2 alongside Adam Sandler. His activism has remained front and center as well, with his poignant track “Una Velita” reflecting on Hurricane Maria’s aftermath and his vocal support for Puerto Rican pride in the face of global challenges.
As the release date nears, fans can expect Debí Tirar Más Fotos to not only showcase Bad Bunny’s musical evolution but also to deepen his connection with listeners through its reflective themes and cultural homage. With his characteristic ability to blend the personal and the universal, Benito is once again poised to redefine what it means to be a global superstar rooted in his heritage. Mark your calendars—2025 is kicking off with a bang.
