“Antes Que Se Acabe” (which means “Before It Ends”) is a song about living life in the moment and appreciating time before it runs out. Bad Bunny’s purpose in writing this was to show that reggaetón and Latin trap can also carry deep emotional messages. The lyrics rhyme for a reason, giving the message a flow and making it more memorable: “A veces para sonreír hay que llorar… Y antes que se acabe todo esto voy a vivir mi vida, así me muero ’e contento” (“Sometimes to smile you have to cry… and before it all ends I’m going to live my life, so I can die happy”). Lines like “Llorar nunca ha sido delito y los días lluviosos a veces son los más bonitos” (“Crying has never been a crime and sometimes the rainy days are the most beautiful ones”) use metaphor and symbolism. He compares crying to rainy days, showing that sadness (rain) can still lead to something good or meaningful (beauty). This lyric makes the message stronger because it proves even struggles can be valuable. Culturally, the song represents Puerto Rican identity and the global success of Spanish language music, and it values appreciating life, self love, and equality.

I connect with this song because it feels calming and motivating at the same time. My favorite line is “Abraza a tu hermano y no mires el color que aquí todos somos iguales, cuánto tú ames eso es lo que vales” (“Hug your brother and don’t look at the color, here we’re all equal, how much you love is how much you’re worth”). This part stands out to me because it promotes equality, love, and unity, which are values that mean a lot to me. I agree with Bad Bunny’s message about living life to the fullest, and I think it’s effective because people everywhere can relate to it. The music appeals to people who like songs with meaning, but some might not enjoy it since it’s slower and more reflective than his usual party tracks. For me, it shows how music can be like medicine, just like the article said. It inspires me to appreciate the present, and that’s why this song is so personal to me.
