This is for the Boricuas out there. Puerto Rican reggaeatón and pop artist Jay Wheeler just released a new single and music video, "SOS." However, this track leans into 80s-inspired production and an atmospheric sonic pallet. As such, if you're unfamiliar with reggaetón artists or Latin music in general, this might be a great intro point for you. Moreover, he longs for a romantic partner, sending distress signals for her to join him, and conveys a lot of heart in his performance. Also, this single follows an incredible 2022, where he dropped his biggest album to date and sold out multiple shows. Now, he's getting ready for his first world tour and new projects on the way.
“I’m very happy with the direction my career is taking, and I was dying to release new music and little by little show the people all the new things that are coming," the 28-year-old expressed. "This song is part of that, we don’t stop for even a second. S.O.S. is a track that people will enjoy because it’s part of my essence and what my fans expect. It’s romantic, but danceable. I’m maintaining my style, but also combining a retro sound with modern elements, and I love the video. I hope people enjoy it and sing along with it."

Quotable Lyrics
'Toy dispuesto a buscarte y bajarle al orgullo primero
Estoy aborrecío' de verte en el Insta, y no en el jangueo
Y estando solo aprendí que el amor no lo compra el dinero
Le tiré un DM a tu amiga (Amiga), pero pa' preguntarle por ti
(I'm down to pick you up and lower my pride first,
I'm tired of seeing you on Instagram and not going out,
Being alone taught me you can't buy love,
I DM'd your friend, but to ask her about you)
