If you’re a bachata lover, you know that a Romeo Santos X Prince Royce Collaboration is what we’ve been dreaming of, for decades. Two of the most romantic, soft and passionate voices in one album. Their collaboration has been the best-kept secret in Latin music in years. As the cover of Billboard Español, this surprise 13-song album was released on November 28th, 2025. Two Dominicans, iconic bachata artists and both from The Bronx, New York City giving the people what they have been wanting.

5. Jezabel

Jezabel by Romeo Santos and Prince Royce is about a man who discovers that the woman he is in love with is married and has been lying to him and her husband. The song references Jezabel, a biblical figure known for her manipulative and immoral behavior, which underscores the woman’s cunning nature and the chaos she brings into their lives. The men express their disbelief and frustration, highlighting the emotional turmoil caused by her actions.

4. La Amaré

La Amaré’ is a love song dedicated to the women in a man’s life—the one who inspire love, admiration and devotion. It celebrates loving someone unconditionally, embracing their strengths and flaws, and standing by them through every challenge. A promise to love her today, tomorrow, always and forever.

3. Estocolmo

Estocolmo is about a man who believes the woman he loves is stuck in a toxic relationship, almost like she’s trapped and can’t leave. He sees himself as the one who can rescue her, showing jealousy, obsession and desperation. The song highlights intense emotions rather than a healthy kind of love. Toxic masculinity is shown by trying to kidnap the women that he loves and shows violence against her partner who he hates deeply.

2. Ay! San Miguel

Ay! San Miguel is a song about love under threat, where Romeo and Prince call for San Miguel Arcángel, an Archangel and warrior of God part of Roman Catholicism that protects from envy, negative energies that can harm love and ask to guard against them for protection. It tells of jealousy, envy, and curses that could harm a relationship, and expresses a desire to shield love through faith and hope. This song has the best work of instruments with a smooth transition from Afro-Caribbean folklore to Bachata.

1. Dardos

The best song in the album “Dardos”. This song shows vulnerability, weakness, and being hurt repeatedly. Love that feels like a trap. Craving for love and attention even if it hurts. This song uses the metaphor of a dart hitting a bull’s eye to capture the sharp, piercing pain of love. Calling a woman a “caramelo envenenado” (poisoned carmel) dangerously irresistible.

‘Better late than never’ has it all, love, heartbreak, toxicity, hope and faith. Once and for all showing the world who dominates Bachata. Romeo and Prince did a phenomenal job with this album. A very anticipated collaboration between two iconic bachata singers.
