Soy Peor

Bad Bunny's 'Soy Peor' is a raw and unapologetic anthem of heartbreak and transformation. The song's title, which translates to 'I'm Worse,' sets the tone for a narrative of personal change following a painful betrayal in love. Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican Latin trap and reggaeton artist known for his deep voice and slurred vocal delivery, uses this track to express the emotional turmoil and subsequent hardening of his character after a romantic disappointment.

The lyrics begin with a confession of being hurt the last time he trusted someone, leading to a vow of never falling in love again. The 'forty' he mentions could be a metaphor for a protective barrier he's put up, symbolically 'shooting' Cupid to avoid further emotional injury. The chorus emphasizes his newfound independence and the idea that he's now living a life free from the constraints of a relationship, engaging with multiple partners who satisfy him more than his past love did. The phrase 'Si antes yo era un hijueputa, ahora soy peor' suggests that if he was considered a bad person before, the heartbreak has only amplified these traits.

Throughout the song, Bad Bunny touches on themes of hedonism and self-indulgence as a response to his pain. He talks about smoking high-quality kush, partying, and not caring about true love anymore, focusing instead on making money and enjoying casual encounters. The references to Hector El Father and the lifestyle of excess serve to illustrate his detachment from emotional commitments and a pivot towards a more carefree, albeit potentially self-destructive, way of life. 'Soy Peor' is a declaration of self-preservation and a reflection on how experiences can shape and sometimes harden a person's outlook on love and life.
