"Amorfoda" (transl. "Fuck Love")[a] is a song by Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny. It was released as a single by Rimas Entertainment on February 14, 2018.[3] Bad Bunny co-wrote the song with Noah Assad, and its producers DJ Luian and Mambo Kingz.[4] Departing from Bad Bunny's original Latin trap and reggaeton sound, "Amorfoda" is a piano ballad about regret in a relationship gone awry. The singer said it is about "something almost everyone has experienced. Everyone has been in love".[1] Its title translates to "Fuck Love".[2]

Background

[edit]

Bad Bunny wrote "Amorfoda" a long time before his rise to fame. In an interview for Billboard, he said: "I've always loved this song because I wrote it with a lot of sentiment behind it. It's the kind of record that reminds me of the longevity of really good songs. A good song never gets old. It was just a matter of time, and it was time to come out with something different."[1] The track's title arose when the singer was searching for a term in Portuguese to send love to the devil.[2]
