Bad Bunny releases new album filled with Formula One references

Publish date: 2024-03-17

Formula 1 has grown massively in popularity over the past few years. The sport has gained millions of new fans across the globe. This has made F1 a major topic for fans, especially the younger audiences. Now, Puerto Rican singer, Bad Bunny has included several nods to the pinnacle of motorsport in their latest creation, ‘Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow’.

The artist’s latest album comprises 22 songs. Two song titles in particular are references to Formula 1, ‘Monaco’ and ‘Los Pits.’ However, the nods do not end there, Bad Bunny has included several more references to the sport in the lyrics.

The song ‘Monaco’ includes the sound of single-seater racing cars in the background. Moreover, the Puerto Rican singer refers to Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. The lyric as reported by Soymotor says, “Believe me, F1 cars are faster in person” or “Verstappen came first and then Checo.” Perhaps a take on the present situation at the Austrian team.

Additionally, in the song ‘Los Pits,’ Bad Bunny hints at Brad Pitt’s upcoming movie on Formula 1. This highly-anticipated project was produced by Apple TV and Lewis Hamilton. The lyric is, “I’m going to take you to the pits if I’m in the movie, ask Brad Pitt.”

Bad Bunny’s new album is a delight for F1 fans

There are even more references in this exciting album. The main song of the album, ‘No one knows what’s going to happen tomorrow’ consists of a nod to all-time F1 great Ayrton Senna and his tragic crash at Imola in 1994. The song goes, “So you’re praying that I crash, Ayrton Senna.” 

Moreover, in the theme ‘Mr October,’ the band makes it clear that they stand with the Tifosi when it comes to racing. The song says, “Ferrari, I don’t like Ford.” Lastly, in the song, ‘Vuelve Candy B,’ the lyric states, “In the Red Bull cart I got wings, I’m flying.” A direct reference to Red Bull’s famous tagline “Red Bull gives you wings.”

This is not the first time that Bad Bunny has referred to Formula 1. Previously, the artist had mentioned Max Verstappen in his song ‘Andrea.’ Verstappen too acknowledged the Puerto Rican singer at the 2022 Miami GP. Moreover, artists will.i.am and Lil Wayne made a polarising song on the sport, named ‘THE FORMULA.’

Thus Formula 1’s rise in popularity has led to more pop culture references of the sport. Bad Bunny’s new album is proof that artists and fans around the world have become attracted to the pinnacle of motorsport once again. Perhaps, F1 might expect more such references from other artists in the future and fans would certainly enjoy it.
