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".

Come on
Ando una vida perdido
Y no encuentro tu amor
En las noches lloro como un niño
Eso me causa dolor
Te veo en mis sueños cuando llegarás
Mi mente te piensa cada día más
Es una tortura el no verte llegar
Mi corazón pierde ganas de palpitar
Y eso me cuesta (y eso me cuesta)
Me lleno de tristeza (me lleno de tristeza)
Que paso dime tu
Que no veo la luz, de mi corazón alumbrada
Dime si fuiste tu, quien puso final en mi
Tanto te quería y me abandonaste así
Y ahora no, no te veo en mi imaginación
Creo q es una pesadilla ya no aguanto el dolor
Si tu estas como tatuaje dentro de mi corazón
Me dejaste sin tu amor, no me diste una razón
Dame una explicación baby
Si tu eras mi reina, yo siempre fui tu rey
Si en las noche junto a ti yo siempre te abrase
Siempre estuve para ti, nunca te decepcione
Come on
Y eso me cuesta (y eso me cuesta)
Me lleno de tristeza (me lleno de tristeza)
Y eso me cuesta (y eso me cuesta)
Me lleno de tristeza (me lleno de tristeza)
Que paso, dime tu
Que no veo la luz, de mi corazón alumbrada
Dime si fuiste tu, quien puso final en mi
Tanto te quería y me abandonaste así
Que paso, dime tu
Que no veo la luz, de mi corazón alumbrada
Dime si fuiste tu, quien puso final en mi
Tanto te quería y me abandonaste así
