"Estamos Bien" (stylized in upper case; English: "We're Good") is a song by Puerto Rican Latin trap artist Bad Bunny. The song was released through Rimas Entertainment on June 28, 2018 as the first single from his debut studio album, X 100pre (2018).[1] It was written by Benito Martinez and Ismael Flores and produced by Tainy and La Paciencia.
Background
He 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.[2] When his fans were wondering if he was okay, he said he responded with Estamos Bien, a song saying "we're good".[3]
Rolling Stone magazine called it "electro-psych bliss".[4] This is a song where Bad Bunny describes being okay, and that we're all okay and all of mine are okay. The lyrics mention a huge rainstorm, starting from zero and that power hasn't been restored to his home. He dedicated the song to victims of Hurricane Maria when he made his debut 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.")[5]
