Lunay Returns on His Own Terms With “Ojalá”

January 23, 2026 — Lunay returns with “Ojalá,” his first release in over a year and a clear signal of a new creative chapter. Known for his melodic range and global reach, Lunay reintroduces himself with a track that feels emotionally open and purposefully refined, marking a reset rather than a continuation.

“Ojalá” captures the feeling of being fully immersed in love and the quiet determination to protect it. Built on sleek, rhythmic production, the song balances intimacy with momentum, pairing heartfelt confession with a modern, replay-ready sound. It is romantic without excess, emotional without losing its edge, highlighting Lunay’s ability to evolve while staying rooted in connection.

The release arrives at a moment where music and fashion intersect naturally for the artist. Fresh from attending the AMIRI show during Paris Fashion Week, Lunay is set to perform “Ojalá” live for the first time at Willy Chavarría’s FW26 runway show, joining a lineup that includes Feid, Latin Mafia, Mon Laferte, and Mahmood. The performance places Lunay at the center of a cultural conversation that extends beyond the stage.

Accompanying the single is an official music video directed by Andrew Garcia and filmed in Puerto Rico. The visual moves between solitude and closeness, tracing the emotional distance felt when love is absent and the warmth that returns when it is present. Scenes of Lunay alone, driving or wandering through the abandoned Hotel Normandie, contrast with dreamlike moments by the beach, capturing the longing at the heart of the song.

Over the past year, Lunay’s presence within fashion and culture has continued to expand. From attending the British Fashion Awards alongside Willy Chavarría to walking the runway during Paris Fashion Week, his influence now moves fluidly between music, style, and global culture. These moments reflect an artist refining his identity with intention.

With “Ojalá,” Lunay steps forward with renewed clarity. The track feels like an introduction and an invitation, signaling a more elevated and thoughtful direction as he enters his next era.
