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".
Tú Tienes Algo
J Balvin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me enloquece
Cada vez que terminamos
Quiero empezar otra vez
Tú tienes algo
Que me enloquece
Cada vez que terminamos
Y no pensamos cuando lo hicimos
Y ahora estamos enamorados
Que me tienes loco mujer
Es que me tienes loco mujer
Y aquella noche nos enrumbamos
Y en la mañana nos acordamos
Que clase de rumba mujer
Pero que clase de rumba mujer
Y no sabía, con que clase de mujer andaba
Si ella era buena o era mala, pero caí en su juego
Yo se que me estoy quemando con fuego
Pero no lo dejemos pa' luego ok
En la discoteca, el ambiente arriba
Y yo no dejaba de mirarte, Me le fui pegando a ella le fue gustando,
Tú tienes algo
Que me enloquece
Cada vez que terminamos
Quiero empezar otra vez
Tú tienes algo
Que me enloquece
Cada vez que terminamos
Quiero volver lo hacer
Y cuando nadie mira nnnm
Se hace grande el misterio nnnm
Voy tocando tu espalda nnnm
Tú si que estas bien buena
Y cuando nadie mira nnnm
Se hace grande el misterio nnnm
Voy tocando tu espalda nnnm
Tú si que estas bien buena
Tú tienes algo
Que me enloquece
Cada vez que terminamos
Quiero empezar otra vez
Tú tienes algo
Que me enloquece
Cada vez que terminamos
Quiero volver lo hacer

The lyrics of "Tú Tienes Algo" by J Balvin reflect a passionate and intense connection between two individuals. The recurring theme of being driven crazy by something about the other person suggests a strong attraction and emotional involvement that transcends logic and reason. The desire to start over again and again after each time they finish hints at a cycle of intense emotions and experiences that they cannot resist.
The mention of getting caught up in the moment and falling in love despite not thinking about the consequences speaks to the intoxicating nature of the relationship. The repetition of feeling "loco" (crazy) for the woman emphasizes the overwhelming impact she has on the singer, portraying her as a powerful and captivating figure in his life.
The lyrics also touch on the thrill and excitement of going out and partying together, where they lose themselves in the moment and enjoy each other's company. The references to the night they had fun and the morning after when reality sets in hint at a mix of wild escapades and moments of reflection, showcasing the complexities of their connection.
The sensual and flirtatious tone in the lines about touching and admiring each other in secret adds a layer of intimacy and mystery to their relationship. The repeated assertion that she drives him crazy and that she is "bien buena" (very attractive) underscores the physical and emotional pull she has on him, creating a sense of longing and desire that is hard to resist. Ultimately, the song portrays a dynamic and passionate relationship filled with excitement, desire, and a willingness to embrace the intensity of their connection, even if it means getting "burned" in the process.
