Debí Tirar Más Fotos (stylized as DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS; Spanish for 'I Should Have Taken More Photos'; shortened to DTMF) is the sixth solo studio album (seventh overall) by Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny. It was released on January 5, 2025, through Rimas Entertainment and follows his previous record Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (2023).

Musically, it is primarily a reggaeton record that blends together diverse elements of Puerto Rican music that Bad Bunny listened to when growing up, including plena, jíbaro and salsa. The lyrical content explores the complexities of Puerto Rico's political status and the resulting issues, such as gentrification and the loss of cultural identity. The album features collaborations with Chuwi, Omar Courtz, Los Pleneros de la Cresta, Dei V, and RaiNao.
