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".

Y yo contesto el teléfono
De todo ha pasado
Pero olvidarte no
La disco está llena y yo pensando dizque en ti
Qué locura, mami, qué locura
¿Será que en este cuento, mami, yo te olvido al fin?
La disco está llena y yo pensando dizque en ti
Qué locura, mami, qué locura
¿Será que en este cuento, mami, yo te olvido al fin?
Qué locura, mami, qué locura
Son recuerdos que no se me van
Lo hicimo' off the wall, como las Vans
Éramo' ganga como el Wu-Tang Clan
Necesito el flash a lo Men In Black
Pa' olvidarme de ella
Tengo una botella
Se me fugó la estrella
La vieron por Quisqueya
Pa' olvidarme de ella
Tengo una botella
Se me fugó la estrella
La vieron por Quisqueya
La disco está llena y yo pensando dizque en ti
Qué locura, mami, qué locura
¿Será que en este cuento, mami, yo te olvido al fin?
Qué locura, mami, qué locura
La disco está llena y yo pensando dizque en ti
Qué locura, mami, qué locura
¿Será que en este cuento, mami, yo te olvido al fin?
Qué locura, mami, qué locura
Reina, yo era tu rey
Te busco pero tu dirección no está en Waze, anyway
Y ya no te veo, veo, en el jangueo, -eo
La estoy rompiendo y tú no estás pa' motivarme
Dime si tal vez tú quieras, ma', estoy en la discoteca
Sabes que no le voy a bajar, mi perro no ladra más
Pero si se nos da sé que te gusta bailar
Aunque sé que bien te va, sin mí hasta abajo no le da
Mi atención has llamado
Y yo contesto el teléfono
De todo ha pasado
Pero olvidarte no
La disco está llena y yo pensando dizque en ti
Qué locura, mami, qué locura
¿Será que en este cuento, mami, yo te olvido al fin?
Qué locura, mami, qué locura
La disco está llena y yo pensando dizque en ti
Qué locura, mami, qué locura
¿Será que en este cuento, mami, yo te olvido al fin?
Qué locura, mami, qué locura
In J Balvin's song "Que Locura," the singer is at a nightclub surrounded by people, but he can't get his mind off of the woman who has captured his attention. He can't forget about her even though they have gone through some difficult times. The lyrics suggest that the singer has tried to move on, as evidenced by his attempt to forget about her with alcohol. However, he sees her in his mind's eye and can't help but wonder whether he will ever be able to forget her.
The repeated refrain, "qué locura, mami" (what madness, baby), reinforces the idea that the situation is nonsensical, that it's crazy to be thinking about someone who has hurt us or from whom we need to move on. The singer wonders if he will ever stop thinking about her, and it seems as though he is struggling with the idea of moving on. He reflects on the good times they shared, which only makes his situation worse.
The song is a classic reggaeton track, with a catchy hook and a danceable beat, but it also touches on universal themes of heartbreak and regret. Overall, "Que Locura" is a song about love, loss, and the human desire to hold onto what we know is slipping away.
