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 ↴
I've been dressing up for you
Then you leave me in this room, this room
Pour a glass and bite my tongue
You say I'm the only one
If it's true, then why you running, you running?
Ooh-whoa-oh
If you really want this (ooh-whoa-oh)
Why you acting like a stranger?
What's with your behavior? (Ooh-whoa-oh)
Say my name, say my name
If you love me, let me hear you
Say my name, say my name
I am dying to believe you
I feel alone in your arms
I feel you breaking my heart
Say my name, say my name
If you love me, let me hear you
Let me hear you
I got darkness in my head
Don't believe a word you said
Still I let you in my bed, my bed (yeah)
Got too many different sides
Got designer in your eyes
Something has to change tonight, tonight, tonight
Ooh-whoa-oh
If you're really being honest
If you really want this (ooh-whoa-oh)
Why you acting like a stranger?
What's with your behavior? (Ooh-whoa-oh)
Say my name, say my name
If you love me, let me hear you
Say my name, say my name
I am dying to believe you
I feel alone in your arms
I feel you breaking my heart
Say my name, say my name
If you love me, let me hear you
Yeah, yeah, yeah (let me hear you)
Woo, woo (let me hear you)
Eres candela (let me hear you)
Mi única nena
J Balvin, man, leggo, come on
Escucha cómo digo tu nombre
Desde Medellín hasta Londres
Cuando te llamo, la maldad responde (let's go)
No pregunta cuándo, sólo dónde (no, no)
Te dejas llevar, de lo prohibido eres adicta
Una adicción que sabes controlar
Y te dejas llevar, lo más caliente en la pista
Todo lo que tienes de muestra, ¿pa' qué lo dan?
Mordiendo mis labios verás
Que nadie más está en mi camino (yeah yeah)
Nada tiene por qué importar
Déjalo atrás, estás conmigo
Mordiendo mis labios verás
Que nadie más está en mi camino (yeah yeah)
Nada tiene por qué importar
Déjalo atrás, estás conmigo
Say my name, say my name
If you love me, let me hear you
Say my name, say my name
I am dying to believe you
I feel alone in your arms
I feel you breaking my heart
Say my name, say my name
If you love me, let me hear you
In the first part of the song "Say My Name" by J Balvin, the lyrics talk about a relationship where one person is not being completely truthful while the other is fully invested. The person singing is feeling vulnerable as they realize their partner is hiding the truth and leaving them alone in a room, feeling isolated and hurt. The lyrics express the confusion and frustration of being told they are the only one while their partner's actions suggest otherwise, leading to feelings of insecurity and questioning the authenticity of the relationship.
The repeated question of "Say my name, say my name, if you love me, let me hear you" highlights the longing for reassurance and validation in the relationship. The singer is desperate to hear their partner express their love openly, seeking affirmation to combat the loneliness and heartbreak they are experiencing. The emotional turmoil is palpable as they express their inner turmoil and need for honesty and connection.
The second verse delves deeper into the inner conflict within the singer's mind, acknowledging the darkness and doubt that clouds their thoughts despite their desire to believe in their partner. Despite the lies and deceit, they still allow their partner into their life and bed, showcasing the complexity of emotions involved in a tumultuous relationship. The mention of different sides and designer eyes alludes to the facades and superficiality that may be present in the relationship, hinting at the need for change and authenticity.
The bridge, which is sung partly in Spanish, adds a layer of passion and intensity to the song. J Balvin's verses bring a sense of fiery emotion and raw sensuality, contrasting with the vulnerability and longing expressed in the rest of the song. The blending of languages and the invitation to let go of inhibitions and embrace the connection between the two individuals adds depth to the narrative of desire, temptation, and the push and pull of a tumultuous love affair. The overall message of the song is a plea for honesty, transparency, and genuine love within a relationship that is fraught with uncertainty and emotional turmoil.
