The versatile infielder of the San Diego Padres, José Iglesias, known in his musical facet as “Candelita”, presented his new single “Nadie Sabe Na”, an artistic statement and reflection of his current life as a high-performance athlete and musician with a purpose.
“Nadie Sabe Na” is a true hymn of faith, strength, confidence and determination. Under its inspiring lyrics – “what is going to happen, is already written” – it invites us to live the present with courage, without fear of the future, and leaving behind external opinions. The song fuses modern styles with bilingual lyrics (Spanish and English), motivating you to trust yourself, God and your personal process, especially when life is challenging.
“‘Nadie Sabe Na’ is that spark we all need: a reminder that life is short, just a little while, and deserves to be lived with joy, faith and purpose,” Candelita shared, reaffirming the universal message that drives the song.
Previous hits and his irruption into the musical world
Candelita already demonstrated her international reach in 2024 with her debut single “OMG”, which climbed directly to No. 1 on the Billboard Latin Digital Song Sales (July 20, 2024). Composed by him in 2023 and adopted as the anthem of the New York Mets, it was premiered live at Citi Field after a victory (June 28, 2024). This release not only marked her triumphant entry into the charts, but also her ability to transmit positive energy and resilience.
He then expanded his impact with successful collaborations in Latin music:
● “Gustazo” (with Gente de Zona), which fused his style with urban rhythms.
● “Roto” (with La Adictiva), which integrated regional Mexican rhythms with its authentic proposal.
These achievements consolidated his versatility as an emerging artist with international projection.
Since the 2025 season, José Iglesias has been part of the San Diego Padres as an infielder, contributing his experience in every game. Currently, the team is second in the National League West Division, just 2.5 games behind the Dodgers, and in the middle of the fight to secure its pass to the postseason.
