un x100to (feat. Grupo Frontera)

In 'un x100to,' Bad Bunny, featuring Grupo Frontera, delves into the raw emotions of regret and longing after a breakup. The song's title, which translates to 'one percent,' symbolizes the last bit of hope or effort the protagonist has left to express his remorse. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who is deeply sorry for his past actions and is struggling to move on from a lost love. He admits that any appearances of happiness or moving on are merely facades, as he is still haunted by memories of his ex-partner.

The song's narrative is rich with metaphors and cultural references. For instance, the protagonist mentions using substances like alcohol and marijuana to cope with his pain, a common theme in Latin music that reflects the cultural acceptance of these coping mechanisms. The line 'jugando contigo como si fuese el die’' (playing with you as if you were a die) suggests that he treated the relationship like a game, not realizing the consequences until it was too late. The recurring theme of looking at old photos and videos highlights his inability to let go of the past.

Bad Bunny's collaboration with Grupo Frontera adds a unique layer to the song, blending his reggaeton style with the traditional sounds of Mexican music. This fusion not only broadens the song's appeal but also deepens its emotional impact. The protagonist's admission that he is 'living in a hell' he created himself is a powerful acknowledgment of his mistakes. Despite his friends' attempts to distract him, he finds himself constantly missing his ex, underscoring the depth of his regret and sorrow. The song ultimately serves as a poignant reminder of the lasting impact of our actions and the difficulty of moving on from true love.
