Chorus 1

If you want to have fun with charm and with beauty

You just have to live a summer in New York

If you want to have fun with charm and with beauty

You just have to live a summer in New York

Verse 1

Fourth of July, fourth of July

I'm with my cousin, drunk, chillin'

My people in the Bronx know what’s up

With a high vibe in Washington Heights

Willie Colón, they call me the bad guy

Because the years pass by and I'm still hitting hard

Selling records like Frida Kahlo paintings

Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo y Calderón was a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, self-portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico

The coke is white, yes-yes, the tusi, pink

Don't get confused, no, no, better avoid it

A shot of cane liquor at Toñita’s house

Puerto Rico feels close, yes, yes, yes

I have the championship, nobody takes it from me

Verse 1

How's Bad Bunny gonna be king of pop?

With reggaeton and dembow

How's Bad Bunny gonna be king of pop?

With reggaeton and dembow

I feel like Lápiz in Capea el Dough

'El Lápiz': Refers to El Lápiz Conciente, a well-known Dominican rapper and pioneer of urban music in the Dominican Republic. ''Capea el Dough'': Refers to a famous song in the reggaeton and dembow genre

When I was born, flow was born

Side to side, ping-pong, heavy flow, Big Pun

With a silencer we steal their girls, James Bond

I’m in my zone, I don't have rivals

With the Yankees and the Mets, Juan Soto

Run, because we hit it out of the park again

Chorus 2

If you want to have fun with charm and with beauty

You just have to live a summer in New York

Shh, careful, nobody should hear us

Verse 2

You have swagger, babe, me too

You're hot, I'm hot too

I smell good and roll with the big spenders

If you want them, you have to move it

You have swagger, babe, me too

You're hot, I'm hot too

I smell good and roll with the big spenders

If you want them, you have to move it

You have to move it

SONG MEANING

Bad Bunny’s “NUEVAYoL” is a sun-soaked postcard from a Puerto Rican superstar spending the summer in New York City. He paints the scene with fireworks on the Fourth of July, late-night cruises through the Bronx and Washington Heights, and the electric hum of reggaeton echoing off the skyscrapers. The chorus promises that anyone looking for charm and excitement only needs “un verano en Nueva York,” capturing the magnetic pull the city has long held for the Latino community. References to salsa legend Willie Colón, painter Frida Kahlo, and big-league baseball teams tie Puerto Rican pride to the cultural melting pot of NYC, showing how the island’s rhythm and the city’s hustle blend into one unstoppable vibe.

The verses double as a victory lap. Bad Bunny compares his record sales to art masterpieces, jokes about being the new “king of pop” while keeping reggaeton at the core, and flexes with witty shout-outs to iconic rappers like Big Pun and sports stars like Juan Soto. Amid the bravado, party invites, and flirtatious lines, the message is clear: Latin music now rules the global stage, and New York is its summertime capital. “NUEVAYoL” is both a celebration and a declaration, urging listeners to dance, explore, and feel the island-to-city connection in every beat.
