MR. OCTOBER is Bad Bunny’s high-energy victory lap, but it comes with a playful twist. Borrowing the nickname of baseball legend Reggie Jackson, the Puerto Rican superstar compares his music career to stepping up to the plate when it matters most and knocking the ball out of the park. Over a hypnotic reggaeton beat he brags about designer fits, Ferraris, and diamond watches while reminding everyone that he rewrote the rules of the game.
Yet beneath the flexing there’s a surprising hint of nostalgia. Bad Bunny says he sometimes wishes he could go “pelado” (broke) again just to feel the old street hustle that forged him. That push-and-pull between outrageous wealth and the thrill of the grind gives the song its spark: celebrate success, stay hungry, and never forget where you started—even when you’re dancing on the moon like Michael Jackson.
Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known professionally as Bad Bunny, is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter who has significantly shaped Latin trap and reggaeton music. Born in 1994 in Bayamón and raised in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny rose to fame with his breakout 2016 single "Diles" and soon became a leading figure in Spanish-language rap globally.
Celebrated for blending diverse musical styles with bold lyrics, he has released multiple chart-topping albums like X 100pre, YHLQMDLG, and El Último Tour Del Mundo. Bad Bunny is not only a musical innovator but also a cultural icon, making history as the first non-English-speaking artist to be Spotify’s most streamed artist for three consecutive years. Beyond music, he has also ventured into professional wrestling, showcasing his multifaceted talents and broad appeal.
