Background[]
| ā | I was in Jamaica recently and recorded a Gorillaz song with Bad Bunny, thatās something exciting for next year. Bad Bunny is the first single. It is the first song I have made from this new project. I still donāt know when it will come out, or how we are going to launch it, but we finished it and it isā¦ yes, more or less a reggaeton song. Itās Bad Bunny meets Gorillaz. | ā |

Lyrics[]
[Chorus: 2-D & Bad Bunny]
The sun in the storm (Sun in the storm; someone cryin')
Someone cryin' (Someone, someone, someone, someone)
Something is said (Someone cryin')
Someone cryin' (Someone, someone, someone, someone)
Ey, ey
[Refrain: Bad Bunny]
Y aprovƩchame hoy, que maƱana me voy
Y no sƩ cuƔndo vuelvo si en tus ojo' me pierdo
Y aprovƩchame hoy, que maƱana me voy
Y no sƩ cuƔndo vuelvo si en tus ojo' me pierdo
[Verse 1: Bad Bunny]
Y nadie lo pidiĆ³ (PidiĆ³), pero estamo' aquĆ (AquĆ)
Yo no sƩ si fue Dio', ey, pero creo que lo vi
Cuando me besaste
No sƩ cuƔndo llegaste, pero no quiero que te vaya'
TĆŗ hace' contraste
Con todo este desastre
que me toca vivir
Eh, eh, eh, eh-eh, eh
La cura del miedo la tiene' tĆŗ
Veo todo claro aunque se fue la lu', ey
[Refrain: Bad Bunny]
AprovƩchame hoy
Ey, ey
[Verse 2: Bad Bunny]
Y yo no quiero ver el mundo arder
Pero algo tan bonito, no, no se puede perder
El reloj nos quiere morder
Pero en tus brazo' me voy a esconder, ey
Pa' que no me encuentren (Encuentren)
To' el mundo siempre estĆ” pendiente (-diente)
Pero no saben lo que se siente (Siente)
Cruza conmigo ante' que se rompa el puente (Puente), je
Y que se joda el resto
ĀæQuiĆ©n dice lo que estĆ” correcto?
Si el amor nunca ha sido perfecto
OjalĆ” sea por siempre este momento
Pero si no
[Refrain: Bad Bunny]
AprovƩchame hoy
[Chorus: 2-D]
The sun in the storm (Sun in the storm; someone cryin')
Someone cryin' (Someone, someone, someone, someone)
Something is said (Someone cryin')
Someone cryin' (Someone, someone, someone, someone)
Something isā
[Outro: 2-D]
The sun in the storm (Sun in the storm; someone cryin')
Someone cryin' (Someone, someone, someone, someone, someone, someone, someone, someone)
