"Nuevayol" (stylized as "NUEVAYoL") is a song by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny. It was released on January 5, 2025, as the opening track of his sixth solo studio album Debí Tirar Más Fotos.[1][2]

The title is an affectionate phoneticization by some Puerto Rican Spanish speakers of Nueva York, the Spanish name for New York.

Background and release

[edit]

On January 3, 2025, when the track listing for Debí Tirar Más Fotos was revealed, the song "Nuevayol" was revealed and included as the first track that kicks off the album.[3][4][5]

Music and lyrics

[edit]

Musically, "Nuevayol" is a dembow song that makes its rhythm carry the spirit of "Tití Me Preguntó".[6] Also, at the beginning of the song, it begins with the sample of "Un Verano en Nueva York" by Andy Montañez and El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico.[7] Lyrically, "Nuevayol" reflects the rapper's vision of the struggle for Puerto Rican identity. Through his lyrics, he expresses his discontent with the modernization that threatens the authenticity of his homeland.[2]

Visualizer

An audio visualizer was released along with the rest of the album's other songs simultaneously on January 5, 2025.[8] The visualizer tells the story of the Puerto Rican flag in three slides.

Music video

[edit]

The music video was released on July 4, 2025, also to coincide with the United States' Independence Day.[9] The video begins with Bad Bunny walking through the snow and, as he gets into a car, he asks himself, "¿Y este frío cuando se acaba?" ("When will this cold end?"). From there, the rest of the video focuses on a quinceañera celebration, complete with food, dancing, and black-and-white images of the Puerto Rican diaspora in New York. Then, near the end of the video, several young people are seen listening to a radio station playing a message that simulates Donald Trump, repenting of his policies and apologizing to immigrants in America.[10][11][12]

Live performances

[edit]

Bad Bunny performed the song at his Super Bowl halftime show on February 8, 2026.
