Bad Bunny released a new surprise single, called ALAMBRE PúA, on Sunday, July 14, during his show at his residency at the Jose Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The video of the song shows the legs of a woman dancing in a flowing dress. Toward the end, the video slowly zooms out to reveal her dancing on a stage set. In the background, a flashing sign reads:

“No me quiero ir de aquí”

This is the name of Bad Bunny's San Juan residency, which translates to "I don't want to leave here."

The Puerto Rican rapper and singer announced his residency at Jose Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in January 2025. The first show of the residency took place on July 11, with numerous concerts scheduled through September 14.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, spoke about the residency in an interview with Variety published on June 18. In the interview, he shared his connection to Puerto Rico, saying:

“It’s not like I’m living a detached reality — I still live on the island. Of course, there’s a line you hit in terms of relatability when you become famous. But Puerto Rico has a very rough and real duality to it: One moment you can say, ‘I love living here; I’m proud to be from here,’ and other times, you’re like, ‘F*ck, man, pa’l carajo, todo’ [‘To hell with everything’].”

Ocasio also explained why he named his residency “No me quiero ir de aquí” ("I don't want to leave here"). He added:

“It’s not always paradise, but it’s also a place that requires you to exercise enough resistance to say, ‘I don’t want to leave, and no one can make me.’ It’s a phrase that comes from pride, pain and love.”

After finishing his residency on September 14, the rapper is set to kick off a world tour. He will perform in Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe during a tour that will continue through 2026.
