When it comes to the Latin music industry, there are few names as instantly recognizable as that of Bad Bunny. Known for his irresistible rhythms and bold lyrical choices, the reggaeton sensation has once again made headlines with his latest release, “No Me Quiero Casar,” which means “I Don’t Want To Get Married.”
Bad Bunny dropped the music video on New Year’s Eve day, and it has certainly stirred up a buzz. It’s not just the infectious rhythms or the relatable narrative of the music video — which shows friends and family inquiring Bad Bunny about his plans for major life events like marriage — that have caught people’s attention. It’s also the possible ripple effects it could have on his surprising relationship with supermodel Kendall Jenner, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the mix.
The lyrics of the song explore the singer’s hesitation towards commitment, which has led some fans to speculate whether it reflects his real-life relationship with Jenner. After all, the couple has been dating for over a year yet they’ve remained relatively private about their relationship.
However, those who have followed the pair’s love story closely would know that they’ve always preferred to keep their personal life away from the limelight. Despite their high-profile statuses, they’ve managed to maintain a low-key relationship, only making the rare public appearance once in a while.
However, it’s worth noting that the song samples an old reggaeton number from the early 2000s, ‘La Calle Me Lo Pidió’ by Yandel, with the mixing done by Bad Bunny’s producer, Tainy. This suggests that the theme of the song may not necessarily provide a window into Bad Bunny’s personal life, but rather an insight to some of the rapper’s musical influencers.
And given how the video features a bunch of friends and family asking the rapper when he would get married, it seems that he’s speaking more to the annoyance that comes with people digging around your business than with marriage itself. This is something he spoke on with Vanity Fair back in October 2023 when asked about his relationship with Jenner.
“They don’t know how you feel, they don’t know how you live, they don’t know anything, and I really don’t want them to know,” he explained to the publication when the topic of Jenner was brought up. “I’m not really interested in clarifying anything because I have no commitment to clarify anything to anyone.”
In the end, while “No Me Quiero Casar” might hint at a reluctance towards commitment, it doesn’t necessarily signal trouble for Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner. Instead, it seems to capture a moment of introspection, a meditation on why people seem to be so fixated on the linear progression of a relationship, especially when you get to a certain age. As the world continues to watch, only time will tell what the future holds for this high-profile couple.
