The song ‘Titi asked me’ by Bad Bunny, the reggaeton artist of the moment, managed to enter the list of the best songs of 2022, prepared by Times magazine, occupying first place. the song does part of the singer’s fifth studio album, called “A summer without you”, released on May 6, 2022.
“A Summer Without You is an impeccable collection from top to bottomand ‘Titi Asked Me’ is its crown jewel: a can of boisterous exuberance that blasts the speakers and rolls hard,” TIME’s Top 10 Songs of the Year list read.
The people who make up the qualifying jury say that they have applied a self-regulation for four years in which the same artist was never included in the category of song and album, but in the case of the Puerto Rican singer they made an exception.
“We had to break tradition because of Bad Bunny, which lands at the top of our album and song charts. Bad Bunny exercises his malleable and magnificent voice in all its forms, through skilful rapid verses and muddy chants; makes even her gasps sound sexy”, explained the jury in the magazine, talking about the reasons why they noticed the artist.
‘Titi asked me’ was highlighted for its “sheer sonic brilliance” as they argue that the first two verses show a Bad Bunny playing a chauvinistic playboy and carefree who later confesses that everything is part of a shield that protects his emotional fragility with phrases like: “I would like to fall in love but I can’t… sorry, I didn’t trust, I didn’t even trust myself.”
“The aesthetic of the song alone pushed her towards complete cultural domination.. It reached the top 10 in 13 countries, and when I went to see a concert by DJ Sofia Kourtesis, the only thing she wanted to do, instead of playing her own songs, was to sing “Titi Me Preguntó”, the article finally reads. the best songs of the year
Bad Bunny made history by becoming the first non-English speaking singer to win the MTV VMA award artist of the year, in addition to leading the list of nominees for the Latin Grammy de 2022.
