"Yonaguni" is a devotional stream-of-consciousness where Bad Bunny talks of his feelings for a woman. She already has a lover, but this does not stop the Puerto Rican artist drunkenly fantasizing about her. He longs for the object of his affection to ditch her partner so they can get intimate together. Bunny uses the remote Japanese island of Yonaguni, the country's westernmost inhabited point, as a metaphor for his willingness to go to the farthest reaches of the Earth to be with this lady. The island of Yonaguni is a place steeped in mystery. A legendary 15th-century female leader, San'ai Isoba, was believed to possess super-human strength, and the mythical figure's mighty powers allowed her to protect her people from foreign attacks. Today, Yonaguni's striking underwater rock formation makes it a popular scuba diving attraction. Although Bad Bunny had never been to the island, something clicked for him to make it the faraway location that shows the lengths he would go for love. Though most of the track is in Spanish, in keeping with its title Bad Bunny performs the outro in Japanese. Translated into English, the outro goes: I want to have sex today But only with you Where are you? Where are you? I want to have sex today But only with you Where are you? Where are you? Eh Bad Bunny dropped this tale of longing on June 4, 2021, a week after releasing his previous single, "100 Millones." Mixing reggaetón beats with a chill downtempo vibe and vocal melodies, "Yonaguni" is in contrast to "100 Millones," which calls back to his Latin trap roots. "It's a balance," Bunny told Apple Music in late May 2021 about the two songs. "Give the people what they want, like the street fire street bang, and also like a chill, sweet rhythm to dance and enjoy for the summer." Bunny added that he wrote "Yonaguni" about three weeks previously as a candid reflection of his feelings at that particular moment. The track is a sole Bad Bunny composition with production from "Dakati" producer Tainy, plus Smash David and FinesseGTB. The music video, directed by Bunny's go-to director Stillz, shows the Puerto Rican artist trying to live his life without the woman he admires. We see him playing video games, walking dogs, eating at a sushi restaurant, even sitting on the toilet. By the end of the clip, he's at a house party where he's off the couch and dancing.

LYRICS TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH

[Verse 1]
No me busque' en Instagram, mami, búscame en casa
Pa' que vea' lo que pasa, ey
Si tú me prueba', te casa', ey
Ese cabrón ni te abraza
Y yo loco por tocarte
Pero ni me atrevo a textearte
Tú con cualquier outfit la parte'
Mami, tú ere' aparte
Shorty, tiene' un culo bien grande, eh
De-Demasia'o grande
Y yo lo tengo estudia'o, ya mismo me gradúo
Y en la cara me lo tatúo
Vi que viste mi story y subiste una pa' mí
Yo que me iba a dormir, ey
En la disco die' mil
Y yo bailando contigo en mi mente

[Chorus]
Aunque sé que no debo
Pensar en ti, bebé, pero cuando bebo
Me viene tu nombre, tu cara, tu risa y tu pelo, ey
Dime dónde tú está', que yo por ti cojo un vuelo
Y a Yonaguni le llego

[Verse 2]
Si me da' tu dirección, yo te mando mil carta'
Si me da' tu cuenta de banco, un millón de peso'
To'a la noche arrodillado a Dios le rezo
Pa' que ante' que se acabe el año tú me de' un beso
Y empezar el 2023 bien cabrón
Contigo y un blunt
Tú te ve' asesina con ese mahón (¡Wuh!)
Me matas sin un pistolón
Y yo te compro un Banshee
Gucci, Givenchy
Un poodle, un frenchie
El pasto, lo' munchie'
Te canto un mariachi
Me convierto en Itachi, eh

[Pre-Chorus]
One more night and too many drinks
You don't leave me alone, you don't leave my mind
[Chorus]
Even though I know that I shouldn’t
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name, your face, your smile, and your hair come to mind
Tell me where you are, that I’ll grab a flight for you
And I’ll go to Yonaguni, oh
Even though I know that I shouldn’t
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name, your face, your smile, and your hair come to mind
Tell me where you are, that I’ll grab a flight for you
And I’ll go to Yonaguni, oh
[Verse 1]
Don’t look for me on Instagram, mami, look for me at home
So you can see what happens
If you try me, you’ll get married
That a--hole doesn’t even hug you
And I’m crazy to touch you
But I don’t dare to even text you
You kill it with whichever outfit
Baby, you’re different
Shorty has a big butt
Too too big
And I’ve studied it, I’m graduating now
And I’ll tattoo it on my face
I saw you saw my story and posted one for me
I was going to go to sleep
There were thousands at the club
And I was dancing with you in my mind
[Chorus]
Even though I know that I shouldn’t
Think of you, baby, but when I drink
Your name, your face, your smile, and your hair come to mind
Tell me where you are, that I’ll grab a flight for you
And I’ll go to Yonaguni, oh
