J Balvin has officially dropped off his newest single, “Niño Soñador.”

Roughly translating to “dreamer boy,” the three-minute cut hears the Reggaeton star open up about his personal struggles despite the fame he’s rightfully achieved over the years. It also arrives with a music video filled with clips that compare his life before and after his recognition.

The new song arrives shortly after Balvin was announced as a headliner for the first annual Sueños Music Festival, which is billed as “the largest Latin Reggaeton music event to ever take place in Grant Park,” Chicago. The two-day festival will take place on May 28 and May 29, and will also feature performances from Ozuna, Wisin & Yandel, Myke Towers, El Alfa, Jhay Cortez, Sech, Fuerza Regida and more.

Elsewhere in music, Coachella 2022 will no longer require masks, testing and vaccinations.
