Bad Bunny invites fans on an emotional and surreal experience in the newly released music video for “BOKeTE,” a poignant track from his acclaimed album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which has climbed to the top of the Billboard 200 chart.
The video artfully combines elements of cinematic nostalgia with a profound sense of vulnerability. It delves into the depths of heartbreak, presenting a visual narrative that feels both personal and unfiltered.
Opening in a desolate urban landscape, the imagery captures Benito leaning against a payphone, as if reaching out to a lost romance. A veiled figure appears to accompany him throughout the clip, with scenes portraying intimate moments where he captures images of this elusive presence by the river and on the beach while engaging in quiet phone conversations. The emotional weight intensifies when Benito leans in for a kiss, yet the camera reveals an empty space beside him.
As the track shifts from a leisurely pop melody to a more experimental sound enriched with traditional Puerto Rican bongo rhythms reminiscent of classic bachata, the video culminates in a deeply emotional moment. One notable scene shows Bad Bunny sitting solitary at an elegant dinner table, a glass of red wine in hand. He gazes directly at the audience delivering a reflective monologue: “Thank God I’m alive, and that’s what matters. I’ve fallen in love 515 times, and with you, it’s 516. It’s time to keep going, to fight, to push forward, and maybe later, if we fall in love again…”
The artist is set to present his latest work live during his forthcoming Puerto Rican residency. His 30-day concert series at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, starting July 11, is anticipated to attract around 200,000 attendees, potentially turning the venue into a vibrant tourist destination.
