Debí Tirar Más Fotos (Spanish: [deˈβi tiˈɾaɾ mas ˈfotos]; transl. I Should Have Taken More Photos, shortened to DtMF) is the sixth solo studio album (seventh overall) by Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny. It was released on January 5, 2025, through Rimas Entertainment and follows his previous record Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (2023). It is primarily a reggaeton and house record that heavily blends together diverse elements of traditional Puerto Rican music that Bad Bunny listened to when growing up, including plena, jíbaro, salsa, and bomba, as well as influences of other musical styles, similar to Un Verano Sin Ti (2022). The lyrical content explores the complexities of Puerto Rico's political status and the resulting issues, such as gentrification and a loss of cultural identity. The album features collaborations with Chuwi, Omar Courtz, Los Pleneros de la Cresta, Dei V, and RaiNao. Debí Tirar Más Fotos was supported by several singles and includes the Billboard Global 200 number-one hit "DTMF". It was also promoted with an accompanying short film of the same name uploaded onto YouTube. Following its release, it received critical acclaim from music critics, who considered it Bad Bunny's most personal album and an homage to Puerto Rico. The album peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200, becoming his fourth number-one album and the sixth Spanish-language album to top the chart. In further promotion of the album, the rapper hosted the concert residency No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí from July to September 2025, and is currently embarking on the all-stadium Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour from November 2025 to July 2026. The album received twelve nominations at the 26th Latin Grammy Awards, winning five, including Album of the Year—marking his first win in the category after five nominations—as well as Best Urban Music Album. At the 68th Grammy Awards, the album received six nominations, winning Album of the Year, Best Música Urbana Album, and Best Global Music Performance for "Eoo". Debí Tirar Más Fotos is the first Spanish-language album to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and the third by a Latino artist to earn the accolade. == Background == On October 13, 2023, Bad Bunny released his fifth solo studio album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 184,000 units and reached the top 10 in five more countries. The album release was followed by his fifth concert tour titled the Most Wanted Tour, spanning dates from February to June 2024, all of which sold out and broke multiple records. Outside of touring, Bad Bunny released collaborations with Myke Towers and Rauw Alejandro as well as the standalone single "Una Velita", co-produced by long-time collaborator Tainy. He announced his sixth solo studio album titled Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and supported it with two singles, "El Clúb" and "Pitorro de Coco". His decision on giving the album that title is because of him initially hating taking photos but eventually getting used to it, additionally stating that the idea is "enjoying the moment when I could and valuing memories". == Music and themes == Debí Tirar Más Fotos is primarily a reggaeton and house album which heavily incorporates several elements of traditional Puerto Rican music, such as bomba, jíbaro, plena, and salsa; the album also contains influences of a cappella, bolero, cha-cha-chá, dembow, electronic, acoustic, alternative rock, ambient, ballad, reggae, dancehall, bossa nova, boogaloo, rumba, dance-pop, bachata, merengue, indie pop, hip-hop, jazz, R&B, soul, spoken word, sandungueo, and synth-pop. Production for the album was handled by Bad Bunny's frequent collaborators Tainy, La Paciencia, and MAG, along with new collaborators such as Big Jay and Saox. === Songs === The album's opening track, "Nuevayol", begins with a sample of "Un Verano en Nueva York", originally performed by Andy Montañez and El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, later switching to a fusion of reggaeton and dembow rhythms, similar to the singer's 2022 single "Tití Me Preguntó". During an exclusive video interview with The New York Times, Bad Bunny stated that "Nuevayol" was one of the first songs written for the album, noting that the song represents the cultural and historical importance of Nuyoricans. He also explained its placement as the opening track, due to New York City being the gathering point of "the whole Latin American community". The third track, "Baile Inolvidable", features a live salsa orchestra consisting of students from the Escuela Libre de Música in San Juan. "El Clúb" is a house track with a fusion of electronic music and plena. On the bachata-influenced "Bokete", he compares an ex-girlfriend to a titular pothole, simultaneously functioning as a critique of the island's infrastructure. "Turista" is a slow-paced bolero with lyrics that reflect on a brief relationship, comparing it to the perspective of travelers who arrive in a country to briefly "enjoy what is there, yet, once they leave, they are not confronted with the struggles that local residents must face". "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii" features instrumentals composed of güiros and guitars, with Bad Bunny musically calling out the gentrification being faced in Puerto Rico and expressing his concern over the potential negative impact of the island's admission to the Union in the context of Hawaii. The track gained significant attention on social media sites such as Twitter and has been denounced by pro-statehood advocates (estadistas), some of whom continue to see Hawaii as a successful model for Puerto Rican statehood. Statehood advocates have occasionally accused Bad Bunny of supporting independence for Puerto Rico, particularly after his support for candidates linked to the Puerto Rican Independence Party and Citizens' Victory Movement such as Juan Dalmau for governor and Manuel Natal Albelo for the mayorship of San Juan, respectively. "EoO" evokes the reggaeton scene of the mid-1990s and 2000s, with its chorus being built around a sample of Héctor & Tito's track "Perreo Baby". == Marketing == === Promotion and release === On December 5, 2024, Bad Bunny released the lead single "El Clúb". The album's title was teased through the music video, simply displaying "DTmF 2025". On December 25, he tweeted a numbered list of 17 songs, all labeled as "bomba," a tactic also used to promote his previous albums. The album was officially announced the following day, alongside the release of the second single "Pitorro de Coco". The album's tracklist was revealed on January 3, 2025, along with an accompanying short film on YouTube, co-directed by Bad Bunny and starring actor, filmmaker and playwright Jacobo Morales. The album was released on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 12 p.m. ET, a day before Three Kings Day. In further promotion of the album, he served as a co-host on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 13, additionally performing "Voy a Llevarte Pa' PR". The same day, he announced the Puerto Rican-exclusive 2025 concert residency No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí (transl. "I don't want to leave here"), which took place at San Juan's Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot for 30 dates from early July to mid-September. He also hinted a worldwide tour across Latin America, Europe and Asia, which was officially announced on May 5, 2025, as the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour. He performed an NPR Tiny Desk concert on April 7 alongside his backing band Los Sobrinos. On September 28, 2025, the rapper was announced as the headliner of the Super Bowl LX halftime show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Following the album's release, multiple songs received music videos, including "Baile Inolvidable" on January 9, "Turista" on Valentine's Day, "La Mudanza" on March 11, his 31st birthday, "Bokete" on April 25, "Ketu Tecré" on May 16, and "Nuevayol" on July 4. === Artwork and visuals === The artwork for Debí Tirar Más Fotos was revealed on January 3, 2025. It features two Monobloc chairs placed on a dirt-and-grass field with banana trees in the background. According to Bianca Betancourt of Harper's Bazaar, the album cover is "meant to resonate" with both stateside and islander Puerto Ricans. His appearance in album promos notably included doning the pava hat traditional to Puerto Rico, which he also wore to the 2025 Met Gala as a tie-in. The visualizers for each track on YouTube display the history of Puerto Rico as a slide presentation, with the content being compiled by Puerto Rican professor of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Jorell Meléndez Badillo. These discuss moments such as the Spanish colonization, the acquisition of Puerto Rico by the United States, the Puerto Rican diaspora, repression and surveillance through the 20th century, the killing of student activist Antonia Martínez, and the creation of the Puerto Rican and Grito de Lares flags. == Critical reception == According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Debí Tirar Más Fotos received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 95 out of 100 from 8 critic scores.

This was attributed to its release on a Sunday as opposed to the industry-standard Friday, resulting in only five tracked days of activity. The following week, the album peaked at number one on the Billboard 200, earning 203,500 additional units mostly through streaming activity, with 7,500 from traditional album sales.
