Pero Ya No ("But Not Anymore") is Bad Bunny’s upbeat goodbye to a past flame. With the catchy refrain “antes yo te quería, pero ya no”, he lets us know—again and again—that all the love, liking, and loyalty he once had have evaporated. The song feels like a victory lap of self-confidence: Benito isn’t heartbroken, he’s thrilled to be free, and the repetitive hook works like a mantra that stamps this new mindset into the listener’s head.
Over a swagger-filled trap beat, the Puerto Rican star peppers the verses with pop-culture shout-outs (J.Lo and A-Rod), gamer humor (“I’m not a Pokémon”), and snapshots of a glam night out—hookahs, motorbikes, designer sneakers. These lines aren’t just bragging; they underline three big takeaways:
In short, Pero Ya No is the perfect soundtrack for anyone ready to close an old chapter, crank up the volume, and celebrate their own comeback story.
