The 25 Best Latin Songs of 2025: Staff Picks

As we close the chapter on 2025, one fact is clear: Latin music continues to grow bigger, bolder and more boundary-breaking than ever. Whether it’s the heart-pounding pulse of regional Mexican music, the sultry sway of tropical rhythms, or experimental fusions of pop, rock and electronic sounds, Latin music continues to connect with fans worldwide on a profound level.

This year’s hits showcased that duality — global in reach yet deeply rooted in tradition. Bad Bunny captivated listeners with the salsa escapade of “Baile Inolvidable,” while Fuerza Regida painted vivid tales through the arresting corrido tumble of “Marlboro Rojo,” proving once again that Latin music is as diverse as it is unifying.

Rosalía spun waltzing puns and heartache on “La Perla,” joined by Yahritza y Su Esencia, while Romeo Santos and Prince Royce exchanged verses on the classic-sounding bachata cut “Dardos.” Experimentation and storytelling reigned supreme, with Greeicy delivering buoyant pop gem “Limonar” and DannyLux exploring a haunting sierreño odyssey in “Sirena.” These artists gave us windows into their worlds, blending genres and breaking norms with fearless creativity.

Karol G’s soul-searching “Coleccionando Heridas” alongside Marco Antonio Solís struck an emotional chord, while Rauw Alejandro’s playful “Carita Linda” and Peso Pluma and Tito Double P’s brass-blaring “intro” further helped showcase the year’s dynamic range in sound.
