In 2005, Don Omar released the reggaeton album "Da Hitman Presents Reggaeton Latino", which broke the record for "Highest First Week Sales for a Reggaeton Album" by selling over 31,000 units in its first week, resulting a debut of #61 in The Billboard 200. Wisin y Yandel held that record until "Reggaeton Latino" was released.
The first single released from Reggaeton Latino, "Dale Don Dale [Remix]" , which features rapper Fabolous, debuted at #1 on the crossover chart.
He is currently signed to VI Music through Universal Music Latino.
In early 2006, the Governor of Puerto Rico, Aníbal Acevedo Vilá publicly mentioned interest in having Don Omar participate in a program against School Desertion. However, the Secretary of Education has rejected Don Omar sponsoring it due to his lyrics. The local press has also mentioned that Omar himself did not finish High School.
Currently has his own record label "El Orfanato" (The Orphanage) and had a magnificent performance in the 2011 Latin Music Billboard Awards where he received the Award for Latin Rythm Airplay.

Don Omar Lyrics

They took my phone and money
Now all I have is this beat
You can't take that from me
Fuck this (fuck it, fuck it)
Fuck that (fuck it, fuck it)
Fuck you (fuck it, fuck it)
Fuck my life
Oye loca, I am loco
I'm sipping on Red Bull
Mix with that coco
I'm the most sleeped on
The floor needs no dose
I'm on my fly shit, I got on my polo
We party hard, all fucking night
Drink 'til I'm drunk
You fucking right
We ride stars
Them flashing lights
Then back to work in the morning fuck my life
Tonight I was robbed in the street
They took my phone and money
Now all I have is this beat
You can't take that from me
Fuck this
Fuck that
Fuck you
Fuck my life
Put-put-put your drinks in the air
Put your drinks in the air
Put your drinks in the air, air
If you don't care
If you, if you don't ca-
If you, if you don't care
Oye loca, I am loco
Sipping on Johnny con agua de coco
South Beach Miami we take over bongo
Call me Mr. Bentley, we're ready to go go
We party hard, all fucking night
You smell some kush
You fucking right (right)
Mr. Scotch
Party rockstar
You think I'm drunk, fuck it, go get my car (fuck it, fuck it)
To-to-to-tonight I was robbed in the street
They took my phone and money

Lo-lo-lo-loca mía, donde anda metida

Man I just lost my job
Disconnected my phone
And fuck them bill collectors
Tell 'em leave me alone
We just came here to party
Tryin' to get in my zone
Tell 'em I just blew my money
On a bottle of Patron
To-to-to-tonight I was robbed in the street

In the song "FML" by Don Omar, MIMS, and Vincent Venditto, the lyrics depict a sense of desperation and frustration with life. The chorus, "Fuck this fuck that, fuck you, fuck my life," speaks to the overall state of mind of the artist. The first stanza details a mugging in which the singer loses their phone and money but still clings onto the only thing left to them, the beat of the music. The second stanza brims with energy and chaos, describing partying until dawn and heavy drinking. The repetition of "Put your drinks in the air" suggests a type of release from the troubles of life. The final stanza resurfaces the loss of a job and phone but does so with a slightly more defiant attitude, asserting that they're in the zone and have no time for those who aim to dampen the mood.
Overall, "FML" is a song centered around escapism and living in the moment. The lyrics reflect the frustrations and desires of young people trying to navigate a world that doesn't always treat them fairly. While the language at times may seem crude, it lends a raw and honest quality to the song, evoking the emotion of the moment.
