Bad Bunny, DtMF | Wacky Wednesday

In the 50^th edition of Wacky Wednesday (2025), we break down the unique “DtMF,” performed by Bad Bunny.

Do you know what day it is? It is Wednesday, folks! Do you know what that means? Why, it is Wacky Wednesday! In the spirited column Wacky Wednesday, we analyze, break down, and explore songs from various musicians of various genres that can be considered unique, unusual, or ‘wacky.’  These songs can be new or old; the only requirement is that they ‘catch the ears’ because of their distinctiveness.  With the background established, in the 50^th edition of Wacky Wednesday (2025), we break down the unique “DtMF”, performed by Bad Bunny. Wacky Wednesday vibes commence! 

Translated to English, the lyrics read, roughly, “Another beautiful sunset I see in San Juan / Enjoying everything that the departed are missing out on.” Grammy-winning Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 rapper, singer, and songwriter Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, b. 1994) shines bright like a diamond on his Grammy-nominated song, “DtMF”. Sooo, what does “DtMF” stand for, exactly? “DtMF” is an acronym for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” which translates as “I Should Have Taken More Photos” in English. “DtMF” is the penultimate track from his 2025 Grammy-nominated album, also titled DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS. Bad Bunny wrote “DtMF” with MAG, JULiA LEWiS, Scott Dittrich, and Tyler Spry. MAG, Dittrich, LEWiS, and Spry also produced the highlight with La Paciencia and Hydra Hitz.

“Pero queriendo volver a la última vez / Que a los ojos te miré,” Bad Bunny sings, and continues, “Y contarte las cosas que no te conté (Te parece’ a mi crush, jaja) / Y tirarte la’ foto’ que no te tiré (Acho, jura’o te ves bien linda, déjame tirarte una foto).” The intriguing lyrics, excerpted from the first verse, translate as “But wanting to go back to the last time / That I look into your eyes / And tell you the things I didn’t tell you (You look like my crush, haha) / And to take the pictures I didn’t get to take (Damn, I swear you look so pretty, let me take a picture of you).” In this captivating and colorful “DtMF,” Bad Bunny is in nostalgic, recollective, and regretful mode. In the estribillo (the refrain or chorus), the crowning achievement of the record, he regrets not making more memories. “Debí tirar más fotos de cuando te tuve /Debí darte más beso’ y abrazo’ las vece’ que pude [I should’ve taken more pictures when I had you / I should’ve given you more kisses and hugs whenever I could],” he sings, and continues, “Ojalá que los mío’ nunca se muden / Y si hoy me emborracho, pues que me ayuden [I hope my people never move away / And if I get drunk today, I hope they help me out].” Accompanied by a picturesque, sleekly produced backdrop (those keys and synths radiate, while the rhythmic groove provides a mean anchor once it enters), Bad Bunny is authentic, sincere, and on autopilot on this thoughtful Latin pop number. Even if you barely understand a lick of Spanish, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” is sure to move you and greatly enhance your playlist.
