These days, it seems everyone listens to Bad Bunny. His songs are ubiquitous at parties, his lyrics having been memorized by many who barely speak Spanish — and rightly so. But the unfortunate result of his sheer popularity as an artist is that some of his tracks have gotten what some might call the “Pepas” treatment, suffering from being exhaustively overplayed. And while I never mind listening to “Callaíta” or “Moscow Mule” for the nth time, other tracks I have little patience for — especially the notorious (and overrated) “Tití Me Preguntó.” So for the next time you’re on aux and you face accusations of “latinophobia,” consider switching things up by playing any of these five Bad Bunny classics that deserve more airtime.

1) “WHERE SHE GOES”
Ok, admittedly some of these are classics in the making — but at the time of writing, this song had already racked up almost 600 million plays on Spotify since its release this past summer. With an infectious Jersey-drill base, “WHERE SHE GOES” is a new take on the energy and feel that has made Bad Bunny so popular in the first place.

2) “PERRO NEGRO” feat. Feid
Another song on its way to becoming a staple — why not hop on the bandwagon while people are still excited? Make sure not to skip over Feid’s feature in the first half of the song, as there is a reason he has skyrocketed in popularity this year. And while you’re at it, check out some of his other stuff — Latin music is about more than just Bad Bunny, after all.

3) “Agosto”
Off of last year’s “Un Verano Sin Ti,” “Agosto” has an upbeat beachy feel that will breathe life into any party. Overshadowed by some of the monster successes of the same album, Bad Bunny fans will appreciate a deeper-cut — and something they haven’t had drilled into their ears.

4) “Volví” feat. Aventura
Mixing a reggaeton beat with bachata instrumentals immediately recognizable as belonging to Aventura — and, of course, the unforgettable voice of Romeo Santos — “Volví” is unlike any other Bad Bunny song. Don’t be surprised if you catch a couple people opening up Shazam while it’s playing.

5) “Solo de Mi”
Treat the true Bad Bunny fans with a throwback they won’t see coming. Hailing from “X 100pre,” Bad Bunny’s first album, “Solo de Mi” is perfect for when the party needs a bit of a break: Its reggaeton beat is punchy, but far less aggressive than is typical of the genre, and the switch up that comes at the song’s end is properly energizing.
