Where She Goes Explained
"Where She Goes" is a song by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny. It was released on May 18, 2023, through Rimas Entertainment, as the lead single from his fifth studio album Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (2023).[1] [2]
Background and release
A month after the release of "Un x100to" with American band Grupo Frontera, on May 17, 2023, Bad Bunny announced the release of his new single "Where She Goes".[3] [4] [5] The song was released the next day.[6] [7] [8] As the song title suggests, some of the lyrics are in English, but most are in Spanish.[9]
The song was seen as the artist's attempt at the song of the summer of 2023.[10]
Music and composition
"Where She Goes" is primarily a Jersey club track that contains prominent elements of electronic, EDM, house, reggaeton, drill, urbano, hip-hop, and dembow. A dramatic melody then begins, backed by Bad Bunny's signature deep vocals. Bad Bunny first teased the single earlier this month on TikTok, joking, "Tell me if you like it and I'll send it to you via WhatsApp." While the song does feature an English title, Bad Bunny sings in his native Spanish, although he does use some English lines throughout the track, as fans have become used to. He rhymes about a girl he met once and ponders if he will ever see her again.[11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17]
