“Flor” is a modern bolero where Los Rivera Destino and Benito Martínez (a.k.a. Bad Bunny) compare the people who raised them to a delicate flower that only blooms with warmth and care. Over gentle guitars, the singers admit that life did not come with YouTube tutorials; everything they know about love, resilience, and humor was modeled by the parent figures who “planted the seed.” The playful lines about gaining weight or being “just a reaction of an ejaculation” add a wink of Caribbean wit, yet the core stays tender: gratitude for the life and guidance they received.
In the chorus they flip the classic love-song script. Instead of serenading a romantic partner, they offer the bolero to dads, stepdads, grandparents, uncles, and mentors in Puerto Rico and beyond. The message is clear: a flower cannot grow without the sun, and love cannot grow without a little pain. By the final “te agradezco la vida,” the track feels like handing a bright bouquet to anyone who ever helped us grow.
