Ni Bien Ni Mal
A moody crossover single that helped define the melodic side of early Bad Bunny mainstream success.
The Story Behind the Song
Ni Bien Ni Mal helped position X 100pre as more than a trap project. Its emotional ambiguity is intentional, balancing detachment and vulnerability in equal measure.
The track also demonstrated how Bad Bunny could cross into broader pop spaces without diluting his tone. That formula became foundational for his later global expansion.
Lyrics & Meaning
Español (Original)
[Verse 1]
Si me apagan las luce', yo las prendo
Tú me debe' una y yo no te la cobro
Me dejaste solo y yo nunca te lloro
Porque yo valgo oro
[Chorus]
Sin ti no me va bien, tampoco me va mal
Pase lo que pase, no te voy a llamar
Ya yo me quité, tú nunca me vas a amar
Las gringas me quieren en Pennsylvania
English Translation
If they turn off my lights, I turn them on
You owe me one and I don't collect it
You left me alone and I never cry for you
Because I am worth gold
Without you I'm not doing well, but I'm not doing badly either
Whatever happens, I'm not going to call you
I've already given up, you're never going to love me
The gringas (American girls) want me in Pennsylvania
