In politics

Bad Bunny, criticizing then-President Donald Trump, allowed thirty seconds of the song to be used in a political ad for Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign. That August, the half-minute ad ran in Arizona, Florida and Pennsylvania, for their large numbers of registered Puerto Rican voters.^[7] The chorus, with its lines "Antes yo te quería pero ya no / Tú me gustabas pero ya no" ("Before, I loved you, but now I don't / I used to like you, but now I don't"), assisted footage from several Trump rallies, interspersed with shots of detained immigrant children, protestors facing off with riot police with Trump sternly holding a Bible, COVID-19 first responders with cadavers, Trump tossing rolls of paper towels to Puerto Ricans after Hurricane Maria, and other negative footage such as empty tiers of seats in the auditorium of Trump's 2020 rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.^[8][9]
