Background
Bad Bunny had disappeared from social media for a time when he was overwhelmed with his sudden rise to fame. Views of his videos on YouTube were seven billion in 2018. When his fans wondered how he was, he responded with Estamos Bien, a song saying, "We're good".
Rolling Stone magazine called it "electro-psych bliss". In the song, Bad Bunny describes being okay, and that we are all okay and all of mine are okay. The lyrics mention a huge rainstorm, starting from nothing, and that power has not been restored to his home. He dedicated the song to victims of Hurricane Maria when he made his first appearance on American TV on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon saying, "3,000 people died in Hurricane Maria and Donald Trump is in denial." Then, as a clip of Hurricane Maria striking the island played on a screen behind him, he began to sing "estamos bien, todo está bien, no hay nada malo aquí, con o sin billetes de cien, estamos bien" (in English "we're good, everything is good, there's nothing wrong here, with or without hundred dollar bills, we're good.")
