Multi-platinum Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Jay Wheeler is turning up the heat this summer with the release of “Por Fa No Te Vayas”, a heartfelt bachata that showcases a new side of his artistry. Known as one of the most versatile voices in Latin music, Wheeler steps confidently into the tropical genre, blending his signature romantic style with a fresh, Caribbean-inspired sound. The single, released under Dynamic Records/EMPIRE, is now available on all major streaming platforms.
Inspired by fellow Latin stars who have embraced tropical rhythms, Jay Wheeler crafted “Por Fa No Te Vayas” as a tender story about love, heartbreak, and the hope that the person you dream of spending forever with will stay by your side. The song began in his home studio during a creative session after hearing a bachata beat produced by Yeziell and co-written by Puerto Rican songwriter Vasave.
Adding his own romantic flair, Wheeler transformed the track into an intimate, melodic tune with just the right tropical vibe.
“I wanted to do something tropical and different, to challenge myself with a style I hadn’t tried before,”Wheeler explains. “I had done salsa once, but I still needed to do bachata. I never imagined it would turn out so special—honestly, it’s one of my favorite songs.”
Alongside the single, Wheeler recently shared an intimate side of his personal and creative journey in the documentary Girasoles: Desde La Raíz, directed by Enrique (Emma) González and produced by Dynamic Records. The film dives deep into the making of his most personal album yet, Girasoles, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the emotions and stories behind each track.
The album debuted on Spotify’s Top Global Albums Debut chart and scored three trending songs on YouTube Puerto Rico, including:
- “Una Como Tú”
- “No Sé Qué Me Queda (NSQMQ)”
- “Abrázame Fuerte”
Meanwhile, his hit collaboration with Omar Courtz, “Nota”, has surpassed 30 million global streams and racked up over 5.9 million YouTube views.
