Early career
He was born Francisco Javier Bautista (a.k.a. Frankie J.) in Tijuana and raised in San Diego from the age of 2. He comes from a musical background with his father being the lead singer of a traditional band. Frankie J grew up listening to both traditional Latin music as well as R&B. He attended Southwest High School (San Diego, CA) for his high school years.
As a teenager, he started listening to freestyle music by Lisa Lisa, Brenda K. Starr and George Lamond. He started writing his own songs and singing in the same falsetto style as Lamond. At 15, he signed a contract with a Canadian independent label working as Frankie Boy and recorded songs which failed to achieve any success. In 1997, he signed with Jellybean Benitez.
In the late 1990s, he joined Kumbia Kings and was a member of that successful Latin group touring throughout Latin America. The group played in front of 100,000 people in a concert in Monterrey, Mexico.
Frankie's ambitions were always directed to the American pop-music markets. In 2002 He approached Los Kumbia Kings mangement in an attempt to secure record deal as a solo-artist. He proposed that they record, promote, and market him to the "MTV" market. A vastly diffent music culture then what Los Kumbia Kings made their name in, but Management declined, citing the risky investment. Frankie then shopped demos to an array of record companies, and garnered a tremendous amount of interest, but his contract with The Kumbia Kings would prove to be a problem.
Frankie asked to be his released from his Kumbia Kings contract, but they declined. Frankie bolted from the group anyway, but soon found himself in court over the matter. Lawsuits were filed from both sides, and eventually settled out of court. Details of the settlement were not disclosed.
Solo Career
Frankie J signed as a solo artist with Columbia Records and released his first album What's A Man To Do in 2003 which failed to chart. His self-titled first Spanish-language album was released later in the same year. The single "Don't Wanna Try" peaked in the top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Chart, while "Ya No Eres Igual" was top 10 on the World Latin charts.
He collaborated with Baby Bash, a relative, on another pop hit called "Suga Suga" which reached #1 in New Zealand in 2004 and was a top 10 hit in the US and Australia in the same year. Frankie J worked with a number of wellknown producers on The One including Irv Gotti of Murder Inc. on the title track. Mario Winans on a track called "Just Can't Say It's Love". The first single "Obsession (No Es Amor)" featuring Baby Bash has been a big hit on the US pop charts reaching the top 5 in April 2005. The One was released in the US in April 2005 and debuted at #3 on both the Billboard 200 chart. The follow-up singles "How To Deal" and "More Than Words" (released in conjunction with a DualDisc re-release of The One) continued the album's route to platinum sales. However, the fourth and final single, the title track featuring 3LW garnered few spins at radio.
Jermaine Dupri & Mannie Fresh are among two of the big producers for Frankie's next English studio album which will be released in the 4th quarter of 2006. The untitled album's first single will be "That Girl" which was produced by Mannie Fresh and features both Mannie Fresh and rapper Slim Thug. A version which excludes Slim Thug and replaces him with Chamillionaire exists and can be found online and on the official promo cds.
Frankie J's second Spanish-language album "Un Nuevo Dia" has already been released.

Obession
Well its early in the morning
Just thinkin 'bout you baby
Got me twisted in the head
And I don't know how to take it
But its driving me so crazy
I don't know if its right
I'm tossin' turning in my bed
Its five o'clock in the morning
And I still can't sleep
Thinking 'bout your booty it makes me weep
I'm feeling hopeless in my heart
I don't know what to do I think I'm in love, baby
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
Than what am I feeling (then what am I felling?)
What am I doing wrong
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
Its just an illusion (It's just an illusion)
That I have in my heart
Could this be love
Or it could be an obsession
Little things you do drive this man so mad
O puede ser amor
Puede que sea una ilusiΓ³n
Lo que siento por ti no tiene explicaciΓ³n
Yo, It's just past 12 o'clock, me only thinking 'bout you
Nena me a need you in a me side right now
Lo poquito que me ha hecho me tiene bien loco
The only thing me want es tenerte a mi lado
Tell you little man he done, tell him go go
Him a waste too much time and he dont satisfy you
No te va a dar nunca lo que quiere, pa' eso estoy yo
Baby girl sing along, this is your song
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
Than what am I feeling (then what am I felling?)
What am I doing wrong
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
Its just an illusion (It's just an illusion)
That I have in my heart
I love the way you freak it like that
I love the way you freak it like that
I love the way you freak it like that
Its an obsession
Se que tu me perteneces
Se que tienes a alguien mas
Pero se que no lo quieres
Por tu forma de hablar
Y si acaso me dejaras
Continuar con mis llamadas
QuizΓ‘s yo cambiarΓa
Tu manera de pensar
Y no me importa
Si andas con el
Solo quiero hacerte entender
Que yo si puedo darte mΓ‘s, mΓ‘s
MΓ‘s que el
Its five o'clock in the morning
And I still can't sleep
Thinking 'bout your booty it makes me weep
I'm feeling hopeless in my heart
I don't know what to do I think I'm in love, baby
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
Than what am I feeling (then what am I felling?)
What am I doing wrong (what am I doing wrong?)
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
Its just an illusion (It's just an illusion)
That I have in my heart
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
Than what am I feeling (then what am I felling?)
What am I doing wrong (what am I doing so wrong?)
Amor
The lyrics above are from Frankie J's song "Obsession." The song is about a man who is deeply infatuated with a woman to the point where he feels it's driving him crazy. He wakes up in the middle of the night unable to sleep, with the thought of her stuck in his head. He questions whether what he feels is love or an obsession. He then assures the woman that he could give her more than her current partner.
The lyrics in the song express a relatable feeling of being infatuated with someone to the point where it feels like an obsession. The song is catchy and has an up-tempo beat that makes it great for dancing, and Frankie J's vocals add to the emotional intensity of the song. The lyrics also portray the pain that comes with falling for someone and not being able to stop thinking about them.
Overall, "Obsession" is a classic song that perfectly captures the anguish and elation that comes with being in love or infatuated with someone.

Well its early in the morning
It's the start of the day and my heart feels lonely
And my heart is really lonely
I feel unaccompanied and unhappy
Just thinkin 'bout you baby
Thoughts of you are consuming me
Got me twisted in the head
I'm confused by my feelings
And I don't know how to take it
I'm uncertain on how to respond to this
But its driving me so crazy
It's making me go insane
I don't know if its right
I'm not sure if this is okay
I'm tossin' turning in my bed
I can't sleep, I'm restless
Its five o'clock in the morning
It's very early in the morning
And I still can't sleep
I'm still unable to rest
Thinking 'bout your booty it makes me weep
Thoughts of your physical appearance is overwhelming me
I'm feeling hopeless in my heart
I feel despondent and without hope
I don't know what to do I think I'm in love, baby
I'm unsure what actions to take, but I think I'm experiencing love
Amor, no es amor (if this ain't love)
If this isn't love
Than what am I feeling (then what am I felling?)
What else could this feeling be?
What am I doing wrong
What mistakes am I making?
Its just an illusion (It's just an illusion)
It's not reality, it's just a fantasy
That I have in my heart
These emotions I feel are within me
Could this be love
Is this really love?
Or it could be an obsession
It could possibly be an unhealthy level of infatuation
Little things you do drive this man so mad
Even small actions from you upset me
O puede ser amor
Maybe this is love
Puede que sea una ilusiΓ³n
It could be a delusion
Lo que siento por ti no tiene explicaciΓ³n
I can't explain the emotions I feel for you
Yo, It's just past 12 o'clock, me only thinking 'bout you
It's a little past midnight, and you're all I can think about
Nena me a need you in a me side right now
I need you beside me at this moment
Lo poquito que me ha hecho me tiene bien loco
Even the little things you've done make me crazy
The only thing me want es tenerte a mi lado
I only want to have you by my side
Tell you little man he done, tell him go go
Inform your current partner that the relationship is over
Him a waste too much time and he dont satisfy you
He's wasting too much time and not fulfilling your needs
No te va a dar nunca lo que quiere, pa' eso estoy yo
He'll never give you what you want, that's why I'm here
Baby girl sing along, this is your song
Sing along with this song, it's dedicated to you
Se que tu me perteneces
I know you belong to me
Se que tienes a alguien mas
I know you're with someone else
Pero se que no lo quieres
But I know you don't love them
Por tu forma de hablar
Because of the way you speak to me
Y si acaso me dejaras
And if you were to leave them for me
Continuar con mis llamadas
Let me continue to call you
QuizΓ‘s yo cambiarΓa
Maybe I could change

Your way of thinking
Y no me importa
And I don't care

If you're with them
Solo quiero hacerte entender
I just want you to understand
Que yo si puedo darte mΓ‘s, mΓ‘s
That I can give you more, more
MΓ‘s que el
More than them
