Latinos, this one’s for you!
On Monday, theAmerican Music Awardsannounced thatJulieta VenegasandTainywill be joining Bad Bunny on stage during next Sunday’s show for a performance of their hit “Lo Siento BB :/.”
The trio released the single in early October and it’s set to be featured on Tainy’s debut albumData.
“Working with Tainy is always a pleasure. The world knows that when we get together we make magic,” Bad Bunny, 27, said in a press release about the song in October. “What’s so special about this track? That in this one I have the honor of sharing vocals on the same track with Julieta Venegas, something I never imagined and that’s why it fills me with so much emotion.”
Venegas, meanwhile, said she was asked to join the song and write a response to Bad Bunny’s verse on the song.
“It’s a song that talks about not believing in love, wanting just a fun night and that’s it, but mostly out of fear, I like that love comes out portrayed as someone who cheats ‘that guy always lies to me,’ " Venegas, 50, said. “As if it were a person. So, my response was: I also thought it would be just another night but something changed.”
Bad Bunny is nominated for five awards, including favorite male Latin artist, favorite Latin album, favorite Latin song and collab of the year. (“Dákiti” with Jhay Cortez is up for both collab and favorite Latin song awards.)
