During his “183rd day of quarantine” Bad Bunny made the announcement on Instagram that he would be dropping the visual for his song “Yo Perro Sola” on Friday (March 27). The Puerto Rican artist dressed in complete drag in an effort to defend women’s rights.
The song which translates to “I twerk alone” is about a women who likes to dance reggaeton alone and doesn’t need anyone’s company at the club. The song features vocals from up-and-coming singer Nesi. “I wrote this from the perspective of a woman,” Bad Bunny explained in an interview with Rolling Stone. “I wanted a woman’s voice to sing it–‘Yo Perreo Sola’– because it doesn’t mean the same thing when a man sings it. But I do feel like that woman sometimes.
Directed by Stillz and Bad Bunny himself, the colorful music video starts off with him dressed in a red latex skirt and knee-high boots, as he brushes off a group of men trying to dance with him. Other women dance freely on their own as he sports a kilt and chains, “Te llama si te necista/Pero por ahora está solita/ Ella Perreo Sola (She’ll call you if she needs you/ But for now she is alone/ She twerks alone).”
The final frame reads a necessary public service announcement on sexual harassment: “If she doesn’t want to dance with you, respect her, she twerks alone.”
