On October 9, 2023, Bad Bunny announced his fifth studio album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana,[3][4] as well as its track list, where "Baticano" was included as the fifteenth track.[5] Billboard ranked "Baticano" at number 18 on their list of songs from its parent album, stating that it "reinforces the message that no one is exempt from their own shortcomings".[6]

Music video

Its music video was released on October 31, 2023, on Halloween.[7] Directed by fellow video director Stillz and mainly a black-and-white video,[2] it pays tribute to German expressionist cinema, namely the 1920 film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and the 1922 film Nosferatu.[8] The singer is playing both the role of the somnabulist Cesare and of Count Orlok (Nosferatu). American actor Steve Buscemi appears as his mentor.

In the beginning of the video, Buscemi is seen reviving Nosferatu and setting him free, where he creeps over a sleeping woman.[9] It later taking place in a graveyard, where corpses perform choreography.[10] In parts of the video, a man is seen abusing his wife with a portrait of Jesus seen on the wall and a father covering his son's eyes as two men kissing appear on the television, angrily turning it off.[11] Towards the near end of the video, Bad Bunny is seen praying[7] and Buscemi also warns him that "the Earth is cruel out there" and that "[the Earth isn't] ready for [him]".[9]
