Global superstar Becky G releases her newest single “PATRONA” via RCA Records and announces her highly anticipated new album, “BARAJA BENDITA,” arriving August 14, 2026. “PATRONA” serves as the third drop leading up to her upcoming album. Listen HERE.
More than a declaration of confidence, “PATRONA” is Becky’s clearest expression yet of the mindset shaping “BARAJA BENDITA”: owning every decision, trusting her instincts, and embracing the discipline and resilience that have guided her journey. Built around bold percussion, commanding vocals, and striking lyrics, the track embodies what it means to trust yourself fully and move with intention. Rather than waiting for permission, Becky steps into the role of authoring her own story, embracing the responsibility and freedom that come with calling the shots. “PATRONA” adds another layer to the world Becky has been constructing ahead of “BARAJA BENDITA,” extending the themes of agency, evolution, and self-definition introduced in her recent releases.

Directed by Pedro Artola and filmed in New York City, the official music video for “PATRONA” extends those themes through a cinematic lens. Set inside an old-school gym, the visual follows Becky through moments of training, performance, and reflection — highlighting the unseen work behind stepping into your power. Through repetition, discipline, and resilience, the video reinforces the idea that success is earned through the decisions made every day and the commitment to keep showing up. Featured in the video is PATRÓN Tequila, which is authentically weaved into the world of the story and builds off the brand’s longstanding partnership with Becky, with another exciting collaboration to come later this Summer in July. Watch HERE.
Earlier this year, Becky introduced fans to the landscape of “BARAJA BENDITA” with singles “EPA” and “MARATHON,” giving listeners a preview of what’s to come. The album reflects Becky fully coming into her own—embracing every part of who she is and creating without boundaries. Rooted in her experience as a Mexican-American artist, “BARAJA BENDITA” moves fluidly between Spanish and English, reflecting the duality that has long shaped her identity and artistry. Across the project, Becky leans into self-discovery, confidence, and freedom, inviting listeners into a world that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant.
Beyond music, Becky G continues to expand her cultural footprint across entertainment, sports, and live experiences. This month, she was featured on the cover of PLAYERS, reflecting on her connection to soccer from a young age. As an investor in Angel City FC, she has continued to champion the future of women’s soccer in Los Angeles. Building on that connection, Becky attended the FIFA World Cup inauguration in Mexico ahead of joining the Opening Ceremony celebrations in Los Angeles. Earlier this month, she also surprised fans with a special appearance during Alex Warren’s show, continuing to show up in moments that connect music, culture, and community.
