BOKeTE

The metaphor of the "boquete," understood as a hole or pothole in the road, takes on a double meaning in this song. On one hand, it refers to the woman and her role in the artist's sentimental life, seen as an overcome obstacle. On the other, the reference to potholes in the streets of Puerto Rico, a product of deficient governmental maintenance, becomes a subtle social critique. Bad Bunny confirmed this duality in a conversation with the New York Times, explaining that while the song is a love story, the pothole analogy is a palpable reality on the island. The release of BOKeTE was linked to a Spotify campaign to unveil an album's tracklist, where each song was associated with coordinates. Those for BOKeTE pointed to an intersection in Ponce, Puerto Rico, on Emilio Fargot Avenue and Luminosa Street, where an improvised sign with the song's name was found.
