Bad Bunny Super Bowl Setlist – What Songs Will He Perform?

Are you ready for some Bad Bunny?

The Puerto Rican superstar, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is set to take music's biggest stage on Sunday, Feb. 8, as the headliner of the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show.

A setlist hasn't been announced for the performance, which will come a week after Bad Bunny made history at the Grammys. His "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" became the first Spanish-language album to win album of the year. In his acceptance speech, he dedicated the award to "all the people who had to leave their homeland to follow their dreams."

On Feb. 5, Bad Bunny spoke about the performance in a news conference and stressed that fans don't need to speak Spanish to enjoy his Spanish-language songs. "I know that I [said on 'SNL'] that they had four months to learn Spanish. They don't even have to learn Spanish. It's better if they learn to dance. There's no better dance than the one that comes from the heart."

Bad Bunny fans − and other music lovers − have been dying to know what Benito has up his sleeve since he was announced as the halftime show headliner. But as hardcore fans already know, the enigmatic singer does exactly what he wants, not what people are expecting. Until then, here are our predictions (and manifestations) for Benito's setlist:

'Nuevayol'

It doesn't get any more patriotic for Bad Bunny than featuring the Puerto Rican flag atop the Statue of Liberty, so why wouldn't he perform this track of resistance to honor his island and its people? The Super Bowl might be on the West Coast, but this upbeat dembow and reggaeton mashup, with a touch of a 1975 salsa sample, would make the perfect nod to the musical influences that inspired his new music. — Pamela Avila

'Baile Inolvidable'

The romantic salsa anthem was an immediate standout on Bad Bunny's heritage-heavy sixth album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," with its throwback sound and soulful vocals. The festive track, featured in the official teaser for the halftime show, would also give Benito the chance to show off the suave dance moves he honed in the song's music video. — Edward Segarra

'DtMF'

Sorry, but this might be our national anthem at the Benito Bowl. "DtMF," which translates to "I Should Have Taken More Photos," feels like a no-brainer, and if he doesn't perform it, we'll be floored. A nostalgic and celebratory rumination on living life to the fullest and cherishing your loved ones feels like the perfect set finisher. — Avila

'Un Preview'

It's not a Bad Bunny party without a little perreo. The singer's 2023 reggaeton bop, taken from his chart-topping fifth album "Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana," perfectly captures the lyrical cheekiness and feel-good Latin urban dance style that made him a global superstar. — Segarra

'El Apagon,' 'P FKN R,' 'Café con ron' and 'Acho PR' (Puerto Rico medley)

One thing is for sure: Benito will not walk off that halftime show stage without expressing his intense love and pride for Puerto Rico. Every song in his discography is a nod to his Puerto Rican heritage, one way or another, but "El Apagón," "P FKN R," "Café con ron" and "Acho PR" are our bets for contenders for a Puerto Rico medley of sorts onstage. — Avila

'Tití Me Preguntó'

It would be an absolute crime not to have "Tití Me Preguntó" land somewhere in the setlist. One of the biggest hits from his record-breaking "Un Verano Sin Ti" album, the song's infectious dembow groove and singalong-ready hooks would make for an undeniable crowd-pleaser. — Segarra

'WELTiTA'

This stripped-down and dreamy track, featuring Puerto Rican band Chuwi, is the perfect song to let us catch our breath at home after back-to-back perreo. The song, which reminds us to appreciate the mundane, joyous moments in life, will be a necessary reprise from the politicized chatter surrounding Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show performance. — Avila

'Dákiti'

"Dákiti" was a bona fide crossover hit for Bad Bunny and fellow Puerto Rican singer Jhayco when it was released back in 2020, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Aside from a fun throwback for longtime fans, the reggaeton track's understated rhythm and moody lyrics could help slow things down amid his dancier numbers. — Segarra

'Callaíta'

Bad Bunny is truly in his element on "Callaíta" with its classic reggaeton sound and saucy wordplay about a volatile summer love. The singer's warm baritone finds its sweet spot on the song's soaring chorus, which would let Benito do some vocal flexing. And if you weren't already on your feet, he will definitely have you grooving in front of the TV with this one. — Segarra

'La Romana'

His love for the Caribbean sound is perhaps no more evident than on "La Romana," the dembow and bachata-inflected banger featuring Dominican rap heavyweight El Alfa. The song's propulsive beat, mixed with Bad Bunny and El Alfa's fiery bars, makes it the perfect energizer for a game day crowd. — Segarra

'Yo Perreo Sola'

If critics really want to clutch their pearls during his halftime show, then let's hope the 2020 feminist anthem, which translates to "I Dance Alone," is on the setlist, complete with dance moves and fashion looks he featured in the lively music video. In all seriousness, this track off his pre-COVID quarantine released album "YHLQMDLG" deserves the global stage with Ivy Queen right next to him for the remix. − Avila

'Party'

If we're not getting a Bad Bunny and J Balvin reunion at the Super Bowl, El Conejo Malo at least has to give us Rauw Alejandro. The Puerto Rican singers' 2022 hit seamlessly blends reggaeton and EDM for an irresistible club stomper that will, as the title suggests, keep the party going. Plus, Alejandro's guest appearance would bring an added boost of Boricua power, which squares nicely with Benito's motif of Puerto Rican pride. — Segarra

'Estamos Bien'

We might be asking for too much for Benito to take us back to the "X 100pre" days, but if there's one song he needs to perform now from that era, it's "Estamos Bien." At the time of its release, in 2018, the track became synonymous with a message of resilience for Puerto Ricans after the devastation of Hurricane María. And well, it also serves as mic drop of sorts to his haters. — Avila
