Bobo is J Balvin’s playful anthem for anyone stuck crying over a fool. Instead of shedding tears for a bobo (Spanish for “dummy”), the Colombian superstar swoops in with a promise of pure fun: he will “steal” the broken heart away to a secret spot, let the sunrise wake them in his bed, and dance the sadness off at the discoteca. The chorus works like a friendly mantra: stop crying, forget the guy who left you alone, there are plenty of new loves out there.
Beyond its irresistible reggaeton beat, the song celebrates freedom and self-worth. Balvin is not looking for heavy commitments—he just wants the listener to feel confident, liberated, and ready to fly. In short, Bobo is a musical pep talk that turns heartbreak into a night of dancing, laughter, and carefree adventure.
José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, known as J Balvin, is a pioneering Colombian reggaeton singer born in Medellín in 1985. Bursting onto the music scene in 2004, Balvin is recognized as one of the best-selling Latin artists with over 35 million records sold worldwide.
Known for hits like "6 AM," "Ay Vamos," and "Mi Gente," he has transformed reggaeton into a global phenomenon while staying true to his Spanish roots. J Balvin's eclectic style blends urbano, Latin pop, and trap, influenced by rock legends like Metallica and Nirvana, as well as icons like Daddy Yankee.
With multiple Latin Grammy Awards and Billboard Latin Music Awards under his belt, Balvin continues to break records — becoming the first Latino to headline major music festivals such as Coachella. His vibrant music and fashion make him a standout figure, dedicated to spreading Latin music worldwide.
