Though his music is primarily reggaeton, J Balvin has experimented with a variety of musical genres in his work, including electronica, house music, trap, and R&B. He has collaborated with artists such as Pharrell Williams, Major Lazer, and Sean Paul. Despite working with many English-speaking artists, J Balvin continues to sing almost exclusively in Spanish, and hopes to introduce Spanish-language music to a global audience. He is also noted for his eclectic and colorful fashion sense.
Balvin's breakthrough came in 2014 with the single "6 AM" featuring Puerto Rican singer Farruko which peaked at. The song, along with the single "Ay Vamos", bolstered sales of his debut album La Familia. In 2016, he released Energia, which included the hit singles "Ginza", "Bobo", "Safari", and "Sigo Extranandote". In June 2017, J Balvin released the single "Mi Gente" with Willy William, which achieved international success and later reached one billion views on YouTube. This preceded the release of his fifth full-length album, titled Vibras, the concept for which was developed from the moment "Mi Gente" started "connecting with audiences around the world," presented as a fusion of reggaeton with different worldwide styles and rhythms. It received favorable reviews from critics and audiences alike, with Juana Giaimo of The Guardian praising the sound of the reggaeton music on the album by calling it "smooth" and "sensual", and dubbing it the "perfect party playlist, [which] confirms that the noisy style of early reggaeton hits such as Daddy Yankee's 'Gasolina' is slowly being left behind."
He has also collaborated with Cardi B and Bad Bunny on the US Billboard Hot 100 number-one single "I Like It".

Let's go
Sky
Al frente de la barra estaba
Bailaba mientras me miraba
Su única misión era mi atención
Y ahora que la tiene, te pregunto yo
Que es lo que quieres de mi (de mi, de mi)
Haz lo que quieras de mi (de mi, de mi)
Porque ya me cansé de no tener
Tus labios cerca
Que es lo que quieres de mi (de mi, de mi)
Haz lo que quieras de mi (de mi, de mi)
Porque ya me cansé de no tener tus labios cerca
Si tú quieres que te lleve a disfrutar otro nivel
Andamos sin limite Balvin Yandel
Arriba las botellas de Don Peri y de Moet
Dale rompe el suelo mujer
Acércate a mi a mi a mi rompamos los esquemas
Bailame así así así Sky pon la lenta
Acércate a mi a mi a mi rompamos los esquemas
Bailame así así así Sky pon la lenta
Que es lo que quieres de mi (de mi, de mi)
Haz lo que quieras de mi (de mi, de mi)
Porque ya me cansé de no tener
Tus labios cerca
Que es lo que quieres de mi (de mi, de mi)
Haz lo que quieras de mi (de mi, de mi)
Porque ya me cansé de no tener
Tus labios cerca
Tú y tus mañas, sintiéndote la del poder
Siempre ganas, sabiendo lo buena que es
Y averigüé que que esta noche iba a caer
Porque yo sé que cuando me ve
Se acerca a mi a mi a mi rompamos los esquemas
Bailame así así así Sky pon la lenta
Acércate a mi a mi a mi rompamos los esquemas
Bailame así así así Sky pon la lenta
Que es lo que quieres de mi (de mi, de mi)
Haz lo que quieras de mi (de mi, de mi)
Porque ya me cansé de no tener
Tus labios cerca
Que es lo que quieres de mi (de mi, de mi)
Haz lo que quieras de mi (de mi, de mi)

In J Balvin's song Acércate, the lyrics are about a woman who catches the eye of the singer while he is at a bar. While dancing, she catches his attention, and he asks her what she wants from him. He's been frustrated with not having her lips near his for a long time, and he is ready to give in to her desires. If the woman wants to take things to the next level and leave behind limits, J Balvin is willing to oblige. The lyrics are straightforward and convey the message of a man who is tired of not being able to get close to the woman he desires. Additionally, it's portrayed as a Reggeaton love song where the guy is saying no to all the things his girl wants to do and, at last, compromises as he cannot resist her charms.
The rhythm of the song is upbeat and energetic, with frequent references to "infinity" and "sky," imbuing a sense of never-ending excitement and youthful energy. The lyrics are in Spanish, and J Balvin, Yandel, and Sky Rompiendo all worked together to create a song that would be perfect for dancing to. The line, 'rompamos los esquemas' refers to letting go of the traditional ways of doing things and embracing something new, particularly in the context of a romantic relationship.
