I Found Through Objective Means The Sexiest Bad Bunny Album

The powers that be at the NFL have spoken; Bad Bunny is performing at Super Bowl LX!

Despite the Latin megastar’s popularity, his music’s language barrier means many Americans are out of the loop.

With the 60th Super Bowl around the corner, some are curious to bring themselves up to speed. But what if you want to skip the foreplay and jump in with his baddest, most seductive work? Well, I have answers.

Known for his smooth, conversational flows, catchy melodies, and sultry lyrics, the Latin megastar has been quite prolific since his 2018 debut album. To figure out which album is the sexiest, we’re going to have to break each installment into its most basic parts (lyrics), then come up with a system of determining overall sentiment through a keyword filter by using Python code. Finally, we should be able to see which themes are most prevalent amongst the different albums.

The Data

A few prefatory things: all of the lyrics collected for this exercise came from Genius.com. All files needed to reproduce this analysis, including the aggregated lyrics, the Excel workbook showing which keywords were chosen and what they represent, the actual Python code used and documentation, and the Excel workbook summarizing the results, are available for download if you want to nerd it up.

This definitely took a while. The dude has quite a lot of music considering his first commercial album was released in 2018.

The entirety of the albums included in this list featured a total pure lyric count of 59,005 words across 10 albums and 142 tracks.

Sidenote: As a literary native, I was curious as to what the closest analog in book form would be and turns out it's Stephen King's Carrie, which hovers around 60,000 words, depending on the source. So yeah, we're analyzing basically a full novel's worth of reggaeton lyrics.

Let's keep it moving.

The Analysis

Rather than rely on vibes alone, I created keyword dictionaries for four major themes across Bad Bunny's work:

• Sex & Desire (112 keywords) - The spice we're looking for; includes steamy actions, the body, and love

• Party & Nightlife (93 keywords) - Club culture, celebrations, substances

• Identity & Pride (75 keywords) - Puerto Rican pride, success, cultural references

• Heartbreak & Emotion (84 keywords) - Sadness, loss, vulnerability

Each album received a density score for each theme. That basically just means how many keyword matches appeared per 1,000 words. Higher score = more prevalent theme. This normalizes for album length, so longer albums don't automatically win just by having more words.

The keywords included Spanish, English, and Puerto Rican slang. For the Sex & Desire theme, that meant everything from direct terms like sexo and cama (bed), to cultural slang like bellaqueo (fooling around) and perreo (grinding), plus flirtation staples like mami, baby, rico, and quiero.

THE METHOD

1. LOAD PYTHON LIBRARIES:

from docx import Document        # Read Word documents
import openpyxl                  # Create Excel files
       

2. LOAD LYRICS FROM WORD DOCUMENT:

doc = Document('Bad_Bunny_Lyrics_DOCX_for_Analysis.docx')

# Extract albums (Heading 3), tracks (Heading 4), and lyrics
for para in doc.paragraphs:
    if para.style.name == 'Heading 3':
        # New album
    elif para.style.name == 'Heading 4':
        # New track
    else:
        # Lyrics
       

3. DEFINE KEYWORD DICTIONARIES:

Created 4 theme dictionaries with 364 total keywords. Example for Sex/Desire (112 keywords):

"SEX_DESIRE": [
    "sexo", "cama", "bellaqueo", "perreo", 
    "mami", "baby", "quiero", "rico", ...
]
       

→ Full keyword dictionary available in downloads

4. CALCULATE DENSITY SCORES:

Our core function that measures theme prevalence normalized by album length:

def calculate_density_score(album_text, keywords):
    matches = count_keyword_occurrences(album_text, keywords)
    
    # Density Score = (Matches / Total Words) × 1000
    return (matches / total_words) * 1000
       

5. RUN ANALYSIS ON ALL 10 ALBUMS:

for album in albums:
    for theme in themes:
        album.scores[theme] = calculate_density_score(
            album.lyrics, 
            theme_keywords[theme]
        )
       

6. THE WINNER - SEX/DESIRE THEME:

🥇 Un Verano Sin Ti - 53.35

478 keyword matches | 57 unique terms

Top words: dar (65), quiero (35), rico (35), baby (32), mami (28)

🥈 DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS - 50.20

🥉 YHLQMDLG - 47.88

ROBUSTNESS CHECK:

Analysis re-run excluding general verbs (dar, ir, quedar, solo, noche):

Winner unchanged: Un Verano Sin Ti still #1 (40.18)

Positions 2 & 3 swapped, but top 3 albums remained the same

And The Winner Is…

🔥 SEXIEST BAD BUNNY ALBUM 🔥

SPIN TO REVEAL

💋 WINNER! 💋

1. Un Verano Sin Ti (May 2022) 🥇

Density Score: 53.35

Winner winner chicken dinner! This summer album has the highest concentration of sexual and romantic content across his entire catalog. With 478 keyword matches across 57 unique terms, it's definitively his sultriest work. The top recurring words? Dar, quiero, rico, baby, and mami. For new listeners looking for Bad Bunny at his most seductive, this is your entry point.

2. DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS (January 2025) 🥈

Density Score: 50.20

His most recent album comes in hot at #2! Released earlier this year, this album packs 300 keyword matches with standouts like baby appearing 45 times and mami 27 times. The close score to the winner (only 3 points behind) suggests Bad Bunny hasn't lost his touch when it comes to sensual content. What’s more, it’s the album of choice for party animals, with the highest Party & Nightlife score at 37.99.

3. YHLQMDLG (February 2020) 🥉

Density Score: 47.88

The album that gave us “Yo Perreo Sola" lands in third place. With 440 total matches and heavy emphasis on perreo (34 mentions), this album captures the dance-floor sensuality Bad Bunny is known for.

4. LAS QUE NO IBAN A SALIR (May 2020)

Density Score: 46.89

5. OASIS (June 2019)

Density Score: 41.03

6. X 100PRE (December 2018)

Density Score: 38.99

His debut album comes in solid at #6, but he's clearly gotten spicier over the years.

7. Up Next (Live) (August 2019)

Density Score: 38.19

8. EL ÚLTIMO TOUR DEL MUNDO (November 2020)

Density Score: 36.51

Interestingly, this album actually ranks highest for Heartbreak & Emotion (32.19), suggesting it leans more melancholic than seductive.

9. nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana (October 2023)

Density Score: 31.64

His second-most-recent album ranks surprisingly low for sex appeal but dominates the Identity & Pride category (32.07), lots of Puerto Rico references and self-affirmation in this one.

10. I Like It (June 2018)

Density Score: 13.38

The Cardi B collaboration single ranks last, which makes sense. It's more of a flex/party anthem than a bedroom track.

Extra Insights: The Other Themes

While we were hunting for Bad Bunny's sexiest album, the data revealed some interesting patterns across other thematic content:

All Themes Comparison (taken from Complete Analysis Results Excel workbook).

Most Party-Heavy Album: DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS (37.99) - His newest album wins this too, packed with references to disco, ron (rum), and going out.

Most Identity-Focused Album: nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana (32.07) - Heavy on PR pride with 145 mentions of “pr" alone.

Most Emotional Album: EL ÚLTIMO TOUR DEL MUNDO (32.19) - Loaded with heartbreak markers like ex (27 times), antes (before), and cuando (when).

The evolution is interesting: his early work balanced party and emotion, his mid-career peak leaned heavily sexual, and his recent work swings between party anthems and cultural pride.

For posterity, it's worth acknowledging this analysis does use very common verbs like dar (to give), ir (to go), and quedar (to meet), which could capture general usage beyond romantic/sexual context. Rest assured, this bothered me so much I ran a more compact analysis with these words excluded and still got very similar results with Un Verano Sin Ti still coming out on top with a Sex/Desire density score of 40.18, and the runner-up and third place winners swapping places: YHLQMDLG (39.61), DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS (38.32).

What this means? These are definitively the three sexiest albums and our #1 is #1 for a reason.

Other limitations: Some words like rico could mean “rich," “delicious," or “Puerto Rico" depending on context, and “ap" (which appeared frequently in the Identity theme) may refer to Audemars Piguet watches, not cultural identity. But this isn’t some world-class linguistics study, the results are consistent, accessible, reproducible, and interesting. That’s good enough for me.

The Quantified Conclusion

If you're looking to dive into Bad Bunny's catalog and want his most seductive, sensual work, start with Un Verano Sin Ti. Released in May 2022 as a summer album, it's peak Bad Bunny, flourishing in his romantic, beachy, sunset-vibes era. The 23-track album includes hits like “Moscow Mule," “Tití Me Preguntó," and “Me Porto Bonito," all of which contributed to its winning density score.
