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 ↴
Salgamos de la duda entreguémonos a la fantasía (fantasía) ah ah ah
Erizame la piel, atrevete a ser infiel a ti misma (ti misma)
Traiciona esos pensamientos que no te dejan ser mía (mía) ah ah ah
Sólo por una noche déjame explorar
Quiero llegar a ese punto que
Nadie ha podido llegar
Sólo por una noche déjame explorar
Quiero llegar a ese punto que
Nadie ha podido llegar
Aunque sea por un día en la casa todas las velas prendidas
Esperame guarda la energía
Aunque sea por un día, nena confía que ya en mi mente has sido mía
Aunque sea por un dia, entregate, motivate
Hasme esos truquitos, sorprendeme
Si has pensado antes hacerlo
Hoy es el día por que hechar a perderlo
Si alguna ves piensas en mí
No te tardes, búscame
Que aqui estaré esperando con los brazos abiertos
'Pa hacértelo lento
Si alguna ves piensas en mí
No te tardes, búscame
Que aqui estaré esperando con los brazos abiertos
'Pa hacértelo lento
Sólo por una noche déjame explorar
Quiero llegar a ese punto que
Nadie ha podido llegar
Sólo por una noche déjame explorar
Quiero llegar a ese punto que
Nadie ha podido llegar
Que te quedarás, que tus noches me regalarás
Despertar juntos cada mañana
No sigas escondiendo las ganas
Un beso no me basta
Dime que estás haciendo sin mi
Cuanto yo quisiera descubrir
Lo que esconden tus ganas
Sólo por una noche déjame explorar
Quiero llegar a ese punto que
Nadie ha podido llegar
Sólo por una noche déjame explorar
Quiero llegar a ese punto que
Nadie ha podido llegar
The lyrics of J Balvin's "Un Dia" are sensual and romantic, encouraging the listener to embrace a moment of passion with abandon. The opening line translates to "Look me in the eyes and tell me you love me for a day," instantly setting the tone for a short-lived but intense experience. The singer urges his partner to let go of any doubts and indulge in fantasy, suggesting that she even be unfaithful to herself and betray thoughts that hold her back from becoming his.
The repeated refrain of "Only for one night, let me explore" highlights the fleeting nature of the connection, but also serves to emphasize the desire to reach a level of intimacy that no one else has attained. The second verse urges his partner to prepare for the encounter, lighting candles and conserving her energy. The underlying message of the song is that the time for hesitation is over, that they should not deny their longing for each other, and that the passion they share should be fully embraced.
In short, the song is a sultry invitation to experience uninhibited passion for a brief but unforgettable moment, without the constraints of long-term commitment.

Para quien no entiende lo de las puertas a otras dimensiones tiene que ver con lo siguiente:
Primera puerta: Tristeza, lo que mucha gente sufre al terminar una relación que llevaban con mucho amor.
Segunda puerta: Enojo, por culpa de haber terminado algo de lo que ya te habías acostumbrado durante un buen tiempo.
Tercera puerta: Pensamientos, por cada cosa que pasaste en aquellos tiempos mientras eras feliz con lo que tenias.
Cuarta puerta y final: Felicidad, de la que deja cada cosa que viviste en el pasado y que para hoy en el presente ya eso no importa como al principio.
Moraleja: que a pesar de las tristezas, enojos y pensamientos sobre aquello tan bonito que tuviste y que ahora no tienes, hay que aprender a ser feliz con lo que hay y aprender tambien que no todo es duradero, que todo tiene su final, pero que puedes tener felicidad con todo esto.
