A New Album Full of Reflection
Debí Tirar Más Fotos marks Bad Bunny’s sixth studio album and carries a unique significance as his first release since his breakup with Kendall Jenner in September. The album delves into themes of heartbreak, longing, and communication struggles in relationships—topics that naturally lead fans to connect the lyrics with his tumultuous romance with Kendall.
In an interview with TIME, Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, said, “I’ve written songs inspired by people that nobody has a clue who they are. The meaning of a song can revolve around the absence of someone, a love that is no longer there, but it can also be about other things that are no longer present.”

Rumors about Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner first surfaced in February 2023 when the pair were spotted dining together. Following his seven-year relationship with jewelry designer Gabriela Berlingeri—who inspired several tracks on his breakout album Un Verano Sin Ti—Bad Bunny reportedly began a fresh but challenging romance with Kendall.

Throughout their relationship, the couple remained a media magnet. By September 2023, however, they were reported to have parted ways. Kendall briefly rekindled her relationship with Phoenix Suns player Devin Booker, but this too ended shortly after. Early 2024 saw speculation of a rekindled romance between Bad Bunny and Kendall, though neither confirmed it publicly.
Music Filled with Emotion
In Debí Tirar Más Fotos, several tracks resonate with raw emotion from Bad Bunny’s personal experiences. The title track, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” conveys a sense of regret and longing. With lyrics that hint at wanting to preserve more memories before they disappear, the song has fueled speculation that Kendall Jenner is the muse behind the sentiment.
Other tracks on the album explore themes of loneliness, disappointment, and attempts to mend broken relationships. However, Bad Bunny remains tight-lipped about whether these songs are directly tied to Kendall, leaving listeners to interpret them on their own.
The Allure of a Global Icon
Bad Bunny is more than just a singer and rapper; he is a global phenomenon hailed as the “king of Latin trap.” At 30 years old, he has amassed numerous accolades, including eight nominations at the 2024 Latin Grammys and winning Best Reggaeton Performance for his track Black Dog.
Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner, a supermodel from the famed Kardashian-Jenner clan, is one of the world’s most recognized faces in fashion. The combination of music and fashion from these two icons continues to captivate fans and fuel curiosity.
Public Reactions
After the release of Debí Tirar Más Fotos, social media buzzed with debates. Fans repeatedly questioned, “Is Kendall Jenner the main inspiration?” Some believe Bad Bunny is intentionally keeping things ambiguous to protect his privacy, while others urge him to be more forthcoming.
A fan commented on Twitter: “You can feel the pain and real emotions in every lyric. Kendall might just be the muse behind this album.” Another wrote: “Bad Bunny has created a masterpiece. Whether it’s about Kendall or not, this album truly touches the soul.”
The Future of Bad Bunny
Regardless of the inspiration behind the songs, Bad Bunny has once again demonstrated his ability to channel profound emotions into his music. With Debí Tirar Más Fotos, he not only solidifies his place in Latin music but also showcases growth in his songwriting.
Whether Kendall Jenner is the primary muse for this album remains a lingering question. What’s undeniable, however, is that Bad Bunny has delivered a deeply moving and authentic musical work. His new album marks a significant milestone in his career while painting a vivid picture of the complexities of love and loss.
The debate over whether Kendall Jenner has influenced his music will likely continue for some time. Regardless, Bad Bunny continues to captivate his fans with every melody and story he shares.
