"La Romana" is the eleventh song on Bad Bunny's debut album, X 100pre. It is a collaboration with Dominican dembow artist, El Alfa. It was released as the sixth single from the album on April 6, 2019, and its music video has reached over 300 million views as of September 2023.
"Last week I received a call from Bad Bunny and he said: “Alfa, take a flight to Los Angeles, I’m finishing my album, there are only three guests and you are one.” I told you that I love you so much and that I will never forget of you! I recorded the song with him and he said: “Alfa, I want to make the song my way, track, voices. I want to do something that remains in the story! I said, "Ok, work quietly, I’m leaving” He sent it to me now and I stayed … Wow, Bad Bunny is the real criminal, the murderer, the beast! How did you do that? What a fucking song, you changed everything, you’re an animal!"

"It’s one of my favorites, I love them all, but La Romana, wow, I’m the bastard, the La Romana track is a sampling of a classic bachata, then I give it to Tainy, he improved some details, and there I I communicate with El Alfa and I tell him that I want a dembow for my record and “Fuego” (“Fire”) came out, “Fuego” (“Fire”) was made by El Alfa, I did not want to fail and I did not want to invent a dembow, so I called El Alfa, he handed me the dembow , thanks for participating in this project, I love El Alfa a lot, I love how it works, it has remained focused on a goal and is achieving it."
