Ready to hop in a musical time machine? Como Antes is Bad Bunny’s nostalgic postcard to the early 2000s, when Game Boys, MySpace, Blockbuster rentals, and Shakira on the radio ruled his world. Over a smooth reggaeton rhythm, he rewinds to the first laughs, mixtapes, and late-night drives with a lover who once changed the station away from reggaeton, yet still stole his heart. Every reference is a lovingly placed sticker in a scrapbook of Puerto Rican youth culture, reminding us how simple thrills—swapping Tazos at school or watching The Simpsons at 4—felt like forever.
But the chorus hits with a bittersweet punch: “Ya nada es como antes” (“Nothing is like before”). No matter how many old photos he digs up or vintage sneakers he laces, time refuses to roll back. The song becomes a danceable lament about love and life evolving, capturing that universal ache for days when everything felt new. Bad Bunny turns personal memories into a shared anthem, inviting listeners to sway, smile, and sigh while remembering their own better-than-Netflix moments.
