Bad Bunny, the global reggaetón superstar, surprised fans during the July 11 opening night of his No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí residency at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico by performing an unreleased track. That track, now officially titled “ALAMBRE PÚA” — which translates to “Barbed Wire” in English — captures the essence of raw emotion, cultural pride, and experimental sound.
Puerto Rican culture journalist Victoria Leandra, who covered the show for Remezcla, described the moment as a creative statement. Rather than delivering expected fan favorites, Benito gave a sneak peek into what’s next. “The message… was, ‘You haven’t even seen what’s coming,’” she noted, emphasizing Bad Bunny’s evolving artistry...

Released officially on July 14, ALAMBRE PÚA blends traditional Puerto Rican rhythms like bomba and plena with moody electronic synths and deep bass. Produced by Tainy and Luis Ahmed Irizarry, the track takes listeners into an emotional whirlwind, exploring heartbreak, desire, and nostalgia.
Lyrically, the song dives into the aftermath of a lost love. Bad Bunny sings about missed chances and lingering passion — including the regret of not recording a final intimate moment. The metaphor of barbed wire becomes powerful here, representing both the pain and the entanglement of past affection: “You tied my heart with barbed wire.”
The track’s standout lines, such as:
“Si me deja’ te hago un bebé” (“If you let me, I’ll make you a baby”) and
“Estoy triste, que no la grabé, fck, no la grabé”* (“I’m sad I didn’t record it, f*ck, I didn’t record it”)
highlight vulnerability rarely seen in reggaetón, making the track both sensual and haunting.
A Performance to Remember
The staging of the live performance further amplified its impact. With symbolic elements like white chairs (a recurring theme in the album’s visuals) and traditional Puerto Rican dance forms, Bad Bunny elevated the moment into a cultural statement.
The post-chorus sentiment — “No one else looks like you / No one else shines beside me like you do” — captures the core emotion: a love that feels irreplaceable.
With ALAMBRE PÚA, Bad Bunny isn’t just releasing music — he’s opening a new chapter that fuses his heritage, emotions, and musical evolution.

Chorus]
Tonight I’m coming for you, gonna kiss you right near your birthmark
With you, I lose control without smoking
The place doesn’t matter
As long as you are there, I feel good
You’re the baby, I wouldn’t trade you for a hundred
You get in my car, and it looks like a Mercedes-Benz
[Post-Chorus]
No one else looks like you
No one else shines beside me like you do
[Verse]
If you let me, I’ll make you a baby
I want to give you a little kiss backwards
I didn’t know that would be the last time
I’m sad I didn’t record it, fuck, I didn’t record it
But I still have the photos you sent me naked
You tied my heart with barbed wire
Speak clearly, mami, you’re a witch
I miss hearing you, you little tease
Ey, calling me “papi”, daddy, you’re a baddie
Move that ass, booty, put it on the story
You’re wild, horny, daring, naughty
Baby, don’t stop, don’t stop, you got it, you got it
[Chorus]
Tonight I’m coming for you, gonna kiss you right near your birthmark
With you, I lose control without smoking
The place doesn’t matter
As long as you are there, I feel good
You’re the baby, I wouldn’t trade you for a hundred
You get in my car, and it looks like a Mercedes-Benz
[Post-Chorus]
No one else looks like you, looks like you
No one else shines beside me like you do, baby
Looks like you, baby
No one else shines beside me like you do, baby
No one else looks like you, baby
No one else shines beside me like you do, baby
Looks like you, no one else looks like you
