Bad Bunny Drops Surprise Single ‘Alambre Púa’ on Third Night of Historic Puerto Rico Residency

Bad Bunny continues to keep fans on their toes, unfolding yet another surprise during the third night of his groundbreaking 30-date residency, No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí (I Don’t Want to Leave Here), at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot (a.k.a. El Choli) on Sunday night (July 13). During his latest show, the singer debuted his new single “Alambre Púa” as the opening song of the show.

On Monday (July 14), El Conejo Malo officially dropped the single on all DSPs, alongside an accompanying visual. The nearly 3-minute music video, recorded live from the event, transformed the stage into a visual homage to Bunny’s Puerto Rican roots, with lush mountainous landscapes and Taino-inspired troupes weaving through the scene, wearing beige colors with straw accents. There was also a ceiba-like tree at the right side of the stage — Puerto Rico’s national tree and a cultural symbol.

The stage design was executed with the help of set designer Gabriela Escalera, Mayna Magruder, production designer Monica Monserrate, Natalia Rosa, Rafi Pérez, and A1 Productions’ executive producer Sigfredo Bellaflores — all of whom captured Bad Bunny’s creativity and deep connection to his heritage, marking a powerful beginning to an already historic residency.

“Me amarraste el corazón con alambre ‘e púa”, he sings (“You tied my heart with barbed wire”). He pairs this sentiment with declarations like, “Hoy te vo’a buscar y te vo’a besar cerca del lunar”, meaning, “Tonight I’ll find you and kiss you near your birthmark.”

Benito’s residency in Puerto Rico continues through the rest of July and into mid September. The first nine dates of the show have been specifically reserved for local residents only, with the remainder of the residency open to the public.
