Bad Bunny is back with a new album called ‘Nadie sabe lo que ga a pasar mañana,’ which translates to ‘No one knows what’s going to happen tomorrow.’ While fans buzz with electricity over the new album, F1 fans are joining in on the act because of the various F1 references used by the artist throughout the album. The references of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, in particular, have the fans going wild on social media.
In 2022, Bad Bunny released an album called ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’ (A Summer Without You), which had 23 songs. One of the songs, ‘Andrea,’ once again was a nod to F1’s popularity as the lyrics referenced Verstappen’s lifestyle in Formula One. A year and a half later, the Puerto Rican artist is back, and his latest album is another nod to the F1 world and its stars.
Fans buzzing with excitement after finding a Max Verstappen reference in Bad Bunny’s new song
The fame of F1 has grown exponentially since the premier of the famous Netflix series Drive to Survive. What was once a dangerous motorsports event has now become a global spectacle with far-reaching effects. The effects of the global stardom of F1 have even reached the music industry as Bad Bunny’s latest song, ‘Monaco,’ has a Verstappen and Perez reference in it. As such, fans couldn’t contain their excitement and took to social media to express their feelings.
One fan was happy that Bad Bunny decided to use Perez’s name in the song, too.
While some fans took to Reddit to suggest the lyrics might be a jibe at Perez’s performances this season.
Not the only F1 reference in the album
In the 22-track album, ‘Monaco’ is not the only track with a nod to F1 but might well be the one with the most significance. While the track’s title itself is a nod to the famous Grand Prix, it also uses the noise of F1 cars as background, apart from the nod to Verstappen and Perez. Another song, ‘Los Pits,’ refers to the pits in the sport as ‘Mercedes Carota’ brings the Silver Arrows into the mix. A track named ‘Nade Sabe’ pays tribute to the legendary Ayrton Senna as the lyrics translate to “That’s why they’re praying I crash, Ayrton Senna.”
A few more tracks have F1’s reference in them, as Bad Bunny signifies his affection for the sport in his own way. The unique blend of music and F1 further exemplifies just how much F1 has grown in the last few years and how it has become an active part of the lives of millions around the world.
