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".

J Balvin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walked in the corner with the body screaming dolo
Never sold a bag but look like Pablo in a photo
This gon' make 'em feel the way like Tony killed Manolo
You already know though, you already know though
I walk in the corner with the money, on my finger
She might get it popping, I might wife her for the winter
I already know, already know, nigga roses
Turn up baby, turn up, when I turn it on
You know how I get too lit when I turn it on
Can't handle my behavior when I turn it on
Too fast, never ask, if the life don't last
Done been through it all
Fuck with a nigga raw, this who you wa-
She rolled it
I walk in the corner with the money, on my finger
She might get it popping, I might wife her for the winter
I already know, already know, nigga roses
All I need is roses, all I need is
Couple of killers, a lot of gorillas
I don't want to see what I don't know
Whole lotta villas a lot of Shakiras
Just don't put a flash on the photos
You and your friend against me and myself
Now you already know how it's gon' go
Just know I come from the jungle
Back to the trap when the phone's low
You don' gotta stop with the roses
Nigga, you don' gotta love it, what the world chose is
When a win side up for the losses
Two hoes, winnin' like Moses
And too bad, too bad, I'm buying
Nigga, two fingers up for the gun sign
Nigga, two champagnes for a fun time
I walk in the corner with the money, on my finger
She might get it popping, I might wife her for the winter
I already know, already know, nigga roses
All I need is roses
Turn up baby, turn up, when I turn it on
You know how I get too lit when I turn it on
Can't handle my behavior when I turn it on
Too fast, never ask, if the life don't last
Done been through it all
Fuck with a nigga raw, this who you wa- (leggo)
Verano en Ibiza (wy)
Hago dinero muerto de la risa (wuh)
Obras de arte como Mona Lisa
Yo voy pa Italia solo pa' una pizza, ey (Oh)
No nos baja ni la ley (nah)
Sin reina pero soy el rey (king)
Yo sé que está loca por conocer las cincuentas sombras de J
Nadie se la vive como me la vivo yo
Yates y mujeres, el party lo pongo yo
Tanto que critican y quieren ser como yo
Pero no les dio, pero no les dio
Nadie se la vive como me la vivo yo
Yates y mujeres, el party lo pongo yo
Tanto que critican y quieren ser como yo
Pero no les dio

I might pull up flexing on these niggas like aerobics
I might tell her girl you cute but balling, that shit gorgeous
Standing on the table, Rosé, Rosé, fuck the waters
You know who the God is
Turn up baby, turn up, when I turn it on
You know how I get too lit when I turn it on
Can't handle my behavior when I turn it on
Too fast, never ask, if the life don't last

Fuck with a nigga raw, this who you wa-
The lyrics of the song "Roses" by J Balvin and SAINt JHN tell a story of success and self-confidence. The first few lines talk about the singer's appearance being similar to that of Pablo Escobar from a photograph. The singer then talks about how he walks in with money on his finger and how he's looking for someone who can pop and be his wife for the winter. All he needs to make things happen is roses. He then talks about how he turns up when he turns it on but people can't handle his behavior. He's been through everything, and he means business.
The next verse depicts the singer surrounded by a lot of killer and gorilla-like people. He doesn't want to know anything that he doesn't know and asks people not to put a flash on his photos. There is also a reference to two hoes winning like Moses. The singer then talks about how he doesn't have to stop with roses and says that he doesn't have to love what the world chooses. He ends the verse by holding up two fingers for a gun sign and enjoying champagne for fun time.
The bridge of the song features SAINt JHN rapping in Spanish. The verse talks about how he enjoys the summer in Ibiza, making money, and enjoying his time. He says no one can live life as he does, throwing parties on his yacht, and has many women by his side. He also mentions how people criticize him yet want to be like him.

I walked in the corner with the body screaming dolo
I walked into the corner all by myself with an intimidating presence
Never sold a bag but look like Pablo in a photo
Even though I have never sold drugs, I look like a powerful drug lord in a photo
This gon' make 'em feel the way like Tony killed Manolo
This song will make people feel the same way as they did when Tony killed Manolo in Scarface
You already know though, you already know though
As I have explained before, you already know the power of the situation and song
I walk in the corner with the money, on my finger
I confidently enter the room with a lot of money on my fingers
She might get it popping, I might wife her for the winter
I might have a short-term relationship with this woman and make her life exciting
All I need is roses, all I need is roses
All I need is the symbol of material success and attractiveness
Turn up baby, turn up, when I turn it on
Get wild, let loose, and have fun when I make the situation exciting
You know how I get too lit when I turn it on
I tend to get too fired up and excited when I am in control of the situation
Can't handle my behavior when I turn it on
People cannot handle my wild and unpredictable behavior when I am in control of the situation
Too fast, never ask, if the life don't last
I live my life too fast, without asking any questions, even if it may not last long
Done been through it all
I have experienced everything there is to experience
Fuck with a nigga raw, this who you wa-
Mess with me at your own risk, I am who you want to be like
She rolled it
She rolled the joint or blunt for us to smoke together
Couple of killers, a lot of gorillas
There are a few dangerous people around me, but mostly just tough guys
I don't want to see what I don't know
I do not want to be surprised by unfamiliar things
Whole lotta villas a lot of Shakiras
There are many beautiful women around me with curvy figures like Shakira
Just don't put a flash on the photos
We take pictures, but please do not use flash as it may draw unwanted attention
You and your friend against me and myself
It is you and your friend's opinions against just myself
Now you already know how it's gon' go
You already know the outcome of the situation
Just know I come from the jungle
Understand that I come from a rough and dangerous place
Back to the trap when the phone's low
When business is slow, I am back to making money through illegal means
You don' gotta stop with the roses
You do not have to stop giving me symbols of success and attractiveness
Nigga, you don' gotta love it, what the world chose is
You do not have to like it; this is what the world has chosen as a symbol of success and attractiveness
When a win side up for the losses
When a win comes out of a series of losses
Two hoes, winnin' like Moses
Two women (or cars) that I have are great and I am victorious in this situation, like Moses parting the Red Sea
And too bad, too bad, I'm buying
Unfortunately, I am the one who is paying for everything
Nigga, two fingers up for the gun sign
I am making the gun sign with my fingers, as a symbol of power and dominance
Nigga, two champagnes for a fun time
I am ordering two bottles of champagne to have a fun time
Verano en Ibiza (wy)
Summer in Ibiza, Spain
Hago dinero muerto de la risa (wuh)
I make money with such ease that it is easy to laugh about it
Obras de arte como Mona Lisa
I create masterpieces like the Mona Lisa
Yo voy pa Italia solo pa' una pizza, ey (Oh)
I visit Italy just to have pizza
No nos baja ni la ley (nah)
The law cannot bring us down
Sin reina pero soy el rey (king)
I am not royalty, but I am still the king of my domain
Yo sé que está loca por conocer las cincuentas sombras de J
I know she is crazy about experiencing the fifty shades of J
Nadie se la vive como me la vivo yo
No one lives their life like I do
Yates y mujeres, el party lo pongo yo
I have the most luxurious yachts and the most beautiful women, so I am the one who throws the parties
Tanto que critican y quieren ser como yo
So many people criticize me but secretly want to be like me
Pero no les dio, pero no les dio
But they cannot make it happen for themselves
I might pull up flexing on these niggas like aerobics
I might impress and intimidate others with my wealth and power
I might tell her girl you cute but balling, that shit gorgeous
I might compliment a woman's looks and style, as she is also successful and stylish
Standing on the table, Rosé, Rosé, fuck the waters
I am standing on top of the table holding bottles of Rosé, ignoring the rules of the establishment
You know who the God is
You recognize and acknowledge my power and dominance in this situation
