Chorus 1
Without you I'm not doing well, I'm not doing badly either
Whatever happens, I'm not going to call you
I'm over it now, you're never gonna love me
To not think about you I have to smoke
Without you I'm not doing well, I'm not doing badly either
Whatever happens, I'm not going to call you
I'm over it now, you're never gonna love me
To not think about you I have to smoke
Postchorus 1
Tonight I'm gonna tear up the night, tonight I'm gonna hang out
Tonight I'm gonna light up and I'm not gonna pass it
I swear on my mum I'm not gonna think about you
Mistakes like you won't happen again
Verse 1
Sometimes the nights turn into torture
Like our love that spiraled into delirium
My soul's at war, it’s like Syrian soil
The wine bottles end up as shattered glass
And you're out there hoeing, honestly, I envy you
But whatever
You're gonna miss me when you open your wallet and have nothing
When he puts it in you and you don't feel anything
When you feel alone, lost in nothingness
You can fix it, but you don't do anything
Babe, thanks for nothing
Now I've got plenty of p*ssy and cash
Your friend's giving me likes, if I hit it, I'll record it
F*ck your mother and your lawyer’s mother too
Lit: I sh*t on your mother and you're lawyer's (mother)
Turn on the radio, I'll leave you a message
Chorus 2
Without you I'm not doing well, I'm not doing badly either
Whatever happens, I'm not going to call you
I'm over it now, you're never gonna love me
To not think about you, I have to smoke
Without you I'm not doing well, I'm not doing badly either
Whatever happens, I'm not going to call you
I'm over it now, you're never gonna love me
To not think about you I have to smoke
Verse 2
The best part is that now, to go out
I don't have to wait for you to finish getting dressed
Tonight's a night of mischief and I'm gonna have fun
I just smashed your friend
Like Miky says: 'I'm not gonna lie to you'
I was just one more in your collection
I don't know, between you and me there's no connection anymore
To hell with forgiveness, there's no reconciliation
Now it's your turn to cry in your room
I never force it, I let everything flow
You’re always on the radio taking shots at me
They want my life and can't handle their own
Chorus 3
Without you I'm not doing well, I'm not doing badly either
Whatever happens, I'm not going to call you
I'm over it now, you're never gonna love me
To not think about you, I have to smoke
Without you I'm not doing well, I'm not doing badly either
Whatever happens, I'm not going to call you
I'm over it now, you're never gonna love me
To not think about you, I have to smoke

puyas — jabs / digs / barbs

Puyas is a fantastic slang term that translates to 'jabs', 'digs', or 'barbs'. It refers to the sharp, pointed remarks or indirect insults someone makes towards another person.

In the song, Bad Bunny sings, "te pasas en la radio tirándome puyas" (you're on the radio throwing jabs at me). Learning this word gives you insight into the subtle art of the 'diss' in Spanish, making it a memorable and very useful piece of slang for understanding music and modern conversation.

Bad Bunny is stuck in post-breakup limbo on "NI BIEN NI MAL", and he is painfully honest about it. The chorus sets the entire mood: "Sin ti no me va bien, tampoco me va mal" ("Without you I'm not doing well, but I'm not doing bad either"). He promises he will never call again, swearing on his mother ("Te juro por mami") that he is moving on, even if he still has to light up to clear his head. It is a messy mix of wounded pride, late-night partying ("hoy yo voy a janguear" / "today I'm going to hang out"), and bitter pettiness where he admits his soul feels like a war zone ("terreno sirio" / "Syrian terrain").

The track is packed with colorful Puerto Rican slang you will want to know. When he says "Ya yo me quité" ("I already gave up / threw in the towel"), he means he is totally done chasing love. He boasts about his newfound single life having plenty of cash ("chavos") and no longer having to wait around for anyone to finish getting dressed. He even drops a reference to fellow Latin trap artist Miky Woodz with the line "Como dice Miky: 'No te voy a mentir'" ("Like Miky says: 'I'm not going to lie to you'") before shutting down any chance of reconciliation: "Pa'l carajo el perdón" ("To hell with forgiveness").
