It’s Bad Rabbit’s world, and we all live in it. Or at least that’s how pop culture feels right now. After winning Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys – a historic moment in Latin music – and topping Spotify’s global charts for the fourth time in 2025 with 19.8 billion streams, Benito is now heading to the biggest stage as the headliner of the Super Bowl LX halftime show on Feb. 8, 2026.
At that level of cultural gravity, every movement feels purposeful. Throughout his career, the 31-year-old rapper has focused on his Puerto Rican identity as his audience spans the globe. At a time when immigration has once again become a bright spot in American culture — highlighted by his recent anti-ICE remarks at the Grammys — that commitment feels sharper than ever.
So, as Bad Bunny heads to the Super Bowl stage, the obvious question is simple: What does he choose to do when the whole world is watching? With a catalog that includes reggaetón, trap, pop, and classic island sounds, the possibilities for this 13-minute set are huge.
Here are some of our options.
“NUEVAYOL”
He kicks things off with the standout opening track from his Grammy-winning album Debí Tirar Más Pictures sounds like an obvious move. “NUEVAYoL” sets the tone quickly: confident, nostalgic, and focused on his story.
The song opens with a nod to Puerto Rico’s salsa history, sampling El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico’s 1975 hit “Un Verano en Nueva York,” before segueing into Bad Bunny’s modern, demobow-driven sound. A fun collision of island roots, Nuyorican heritage, and Benito’s global pop ambition — the perfect bridge between Latin America and the US
“BAILE CAN’T”
Translated as “unforgettable dance,” this six-minute main salsa presents life as a fleeting party – one that must eventually end, in order to make it memorable. Built on rich piano lines, trumpet flourishes, and layered vocals, the song pays tribute to classic salsa with a big band sound.
Its inclusion in the Super Bowl halftime show, scheduled to dance alongside others under a blooming Flamboyán tree, indicates that this season will be as much about a cultural celebration as it gets. perreo: heritage and spectacle rolled into one stadium-sized performance.
“Thank you”
Built on a dembow hot spot and an examination of the hot names of fairy tales, “Tití Me Preguntó” finds the Bad Rabbit completely dependent on his heroism. It’s playful without feeling throwaway, silly without losing precision, and it burns up the dancefloor.
The song is also one of the hits from his 2022 album Un Verano Sin Tiwhich made history as the first Spanish album to become the most broadcast project in the world. More than just a dangerous moment, “Tití Me Preguntó” captures his ability to turn the power of the internet into stadium-sized bangers. It’s loud, fast, and designed to send a crowd into immediate motion.
“Callaita”
“Callaíta” has Bad Bunny in soft focus mode. Built on Tainy’s soothing production, the song captures the tension between public serenity and private desire. On the Super Bowl stage, it will offer a rare respite: a moment of closeness to the air amidst the noise. Not all interval sets need to be run. Sometimes, control is flex.

“DACTICE”
“DÁKITI” remains one of Bad Bunny’s most successful records. A slow burn underpinned by its addictive beats, understated synths, and his chemistry with Puerto Rican rapper Jhayco. The song is an electro-fused combination of house and reggaetón that hits like a vague club song and moves like a reggaetón song.
It’s a crossover without compromise: Spanish language, minimalist, and world-class. In the interim, “DÁKITI” will be read as a reminder that he rewrote the rules of what mainstream can look and sound like.
“Safaera”
A fan favorite for a reason, “Safaera” is chaotic in the best way. It’s a five-minute monster of a bouncy genre that plays between reggaetón, old-school samples, riffs, and club frenzy. Featuring Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Jowell & Randy and Puerto Rican rapper Ñengo Flow, it plays like a DJ set compressed into one, amazing song. Jaws a hidden sample in the mix.
While past legal disputes over its samples (particularly its heavy use of Missy Elliott’s “Get Ur Freak On”) once made the track difficult to perform, those issues have since been resolved — paving the way for its full, glorious frenzy on the Super Bowl stage. If Bad Rabbit is looking for a moment that breaks the internet in real time, this is it.
“I love it”
Perhaps his most visible US crossover to date, “I Like It” introduced millions of listeners to Bad Bunny’s voice and charisma along with American rapper Cardi B and Colombian singer J Balvin. It also topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Bad Bunny’s number one hit in the US
Built on a boogaloo sample and overflowing with personality, the track blends generations and locations: old school Latin, Bronx power, and modern pop in one package. A guest appearance, especially from Cardi B, would add another layer of star power to an already great set.
“La Romana”
OK, this is a wildcard, but if the bad rabbit wants to throw it on his first studio album, 2018. X 100 prethen “La Romana” is a fuego to choose. The track finds him trading verses with Dominican dembow titan El Alfa, moving between Latin trap and straight dembow power. This song is going crazy with some pyrotechnics.
“Caro”
Alternatively, he could turn to “Caro” and throw in Ricky Martin, who appeared on the track, for good measure. The pairing will instantly register US audiences (and millennials), linking the Bad Bunny generation to one of Puerto Rico’s most internationally recognized exports.
More importantly, “Caro” remains one of her boldest early statements: a playful, defiant song about self-confidence, gender expression, and a rejection of respectable politics. Alongside Ricky Martin – one of the most visible Latino pop stars in history – this moment could be a powerful celebration of unapologetic self-expression in the American entertainment arena.
“Yo”
“EoO” is pure, unfiltered reggaetón, a Grammy-winning banger for Best Global Music Performance that leans into the roots of perreo itself. The title plays on the last words of perreo, and the song’s dirty beat and relentless groove make it a hit for any crowd ready to dance.
With its effortless swagger and club-friendly energy, it’s exactly the kind of song that could give a mid-season show a kinetic high point.
“CAFE CON RON”
Is this a dream? It is possible. But the plena ensemble Los Pleneros de la Cresta would be a great addition to the Super Bowl stage.
With an Afro-Puerto Rican plena rhythm and beat-and-response energy, the track feels cohesive and upbeat, like a street party brought to life. With its title literally meaning “coffee and rum,” it evokes the simple, everyday traditions of the morning and the island’s rich musical heritage as does a good time. Its presence in the set would be a full assertion of tradition, incorporating the rhythms of the past century in the half-time frame.
“DtMF”
For emotional types, you may have heard “DtMF” all over your TikTok FYP last summer. (Bad Rabbit’s emotional response to the trend has racked up a cool 189 million views on the app.) Short for Debí Tirar Más Fotos (“I had to take more photos”), the track is equal parts contemplative and inspirational — a meditation on appreciating the time you have with people and, in some cases, places.
It is also designed to be sung aloud. With its joyful play of rhythm and song, Bad Rabbit turns memory into celebration, turning human desire into something communal. After all, it’s a sentiment we can all relate to. On the Super Bowl stage, it would come with the power of a big song, turning private memories into a shared, stadium-wide release.
“La Borinqueña”
It’s not a Bad Rabbit song, but including the Puerto Rican national anthem “La Borinqueña” in his set would be a powerful statement and a nod to where he comes from and why representation is so important.
