Bad Bunny’s “BOKeTE” is a bittersweet postcard from Puerto Rico, written at sunset by the river. Over a smooth bachata groove, he flips through memories of a love that felt endless summer but suddenly turned to winter. He paints vivid island scenes (the Río, Maya, Arecibo, the playita) then contrasts them with the chill of heartbreak, calling his ex a boquete (a pothole) he now swerves to avoid. The song is playful yet raw: he jokes about having fallen in love 516 times, but he still admits the sting of losing “lo más real” he ever had.
At its core, the track is a lesson in self-worth and moving on. Bad Bunny accepts that both lovers may suffer, yet he hopes she feels the regret, not him. He reminds her that beauty fades and truth matters, while he chooses to keep living, dancing, and—if fate allows—falling in love again. “BOKeTE” turns heartbreak into a catchy mantra: keep it honest, keep it moving, and never forget your own sunshine, even when the Caribbean feels cold.
