Bad Bunny Gets Vulnerable About Love in Haunting ‘BOKeTE’ Music Video

Bad Bunny takes viewers on a heartfelt and surreal journey in a music video released Friday (April 25) for “BOKeTE,” a melancholic track from his Billboard 200 chart-topping album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.

With a blend of cinematic nostalgia and haunting vulnerability, the Puerto Rican superstar’s video digs deep into the pangs of heartbreak, using visuals that feel intimate and raw.

The video opens in an abandoned city, where Benito leans against a payphone, dialing what feels like a lifeline to a lost love. Throughout the video, a mysterious figure seems to accompany him — the camera capturing moments when he’s taking photographs of this unseen person by the river, along the beach and during quiet conversations on the phone. But the imagery becomes deeply poignant when Benito leans in for what appears to be a kiss, only for the frame to reveal no one standing beside him.

As the track evolves from a slow-pop dreamscape into a more experimental arrangement featuring a rhythmic Puerto Rican-inspired bongo beat akin to vintage bachata, the video reaches its emotional peak. In one striking scene, Bad Bunny sits alone at a fancy dinner table with a glass of red wine in hand. Gazing directly at the camera, he offers a bittersweet 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…”

“BOKeTE” continues Bad Bunny’s visual exploration of nostalgia, pain and the fleeting beauty of human connection, themes central to DeBÍ TiRAR.

Bad Bunny will soon showcase his new work live in his upcoming Puerto Rican residency. The star’s 30-day concert series at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, kicking off July 11, is expected to draw an estimated 200,000 visitors to the island — potentially transforming it into a thriving tourist hotspot.
