The stylistic range of left-field pop artist Kali Uchis is reflected in the variety of her collaborators – an extensive genre-crossing list that includes Tyler, the Creator, Gorillaz, Daniel Caesar, Juanes, and BadBadNotGood. A singer, songwriter, and producer, as well as a video director, Uchis truly arrived on her own with the self-released Por Vida (2015), an EP that led to a deal with Virgin EMI. By the time Uchis released her lively debut full-length, the Top Five Billboard R&B/hip-hop hit Isolation (2018), she had already been nominated for Grammy awards through her featured appearances on Daniel Caesar's "Get You" and Juanes' "El Ratico."
Kali Uchis experienced the majority of her upbringing in Virginia and also spent time in her parents' native Colombia. As a teenager growing up in Alexandria, just south of Washington, D.C., she learned to play piano and saxophone and also developed a deep interest in visual arts. Her recorded debut was made in 2012 with the self-released mixtape Drunken Babble. Within three years, she had several singles to her credit, including "Know What I Want" and "Lottery," typically promoted with videos she directed, as well as collaborations with Snoop Dogg, GoldLink, Tyler, the Creator, and Major Lazer. Following the 2015 independent release of Por Vida, a free digital-download EP with tracks produced by Diplo, Kaytranada, and Tyler, Uchis started releasing her material through major-label Virgin EMI. A DJ Dahi-tweaked version of Por Vida's "Ridin Round," issued that November after a move to Los Angeles, was the artist's first single for the major label. "Only Girl," a relaxed Kaytranada production featuring Vince Staples and the Internet's Steve Lacy, followed in April 2016. She was also featured that year on Daniel Caesar's "Get You."
Throughout 2017, Uchis added to her discography of featured appearances via tracks by Juanes, Gorillaz, Tyler, Bootsy Collins, and Miguel, and she previewed her debut album with the singles "Tyrant" (featuring Jorja Smith) and "Nuestro Planeta" (featuring Reykon). By the end of the year, "Get You" had been nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best R&B Performance, and Juanes' "El Ratico" made Uchis a Latin Grammy nominee when it was up for Record of the Year. January 2018 saw the release of the BadBadNotGood-produced single "After the Storm" (featuring Tyler and Bootsy). Uchis released her debut album, Isolation, three months later. It debuted at number 32 on the Billboard 200 and entered the R&B/hip-hop chart at number four.

no eres tu
Kali Uchis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ten cuidado con lo que pides
I got what you need, I know what you like
Que yo puedo hacer que te envicies
Oh oh, oh oh
Y si yo quisiera te tuviera, pero ahora no
Oh oh, oh oh
No eres tú, soy yo, soy yo
Desilusiones tengo montones
No eres tú, soy yo, soy yo
No te enamores, yo rompo corazones
No me busques, yo te aviso cuando estés listo
No me pides mucho, aquí no hay compromiso
Te muevo el piso, ese es mi oficio
Yo soy tu religión y tú en que yo te bautizo
Dale, pero si me das no esperes que te pague
Tu nivel y el mío ya no son iguales
Lo mío es un vicio
Aunque sea rico, amor ficticio
(You know I know it)
Oh oh, oh oh
Y si yo quisiera te tuviera, pero ahora no
Oh oh, oh oh
Si quieres espera, que nieva en la primavera
No eres tú, soy yo, soy yo
Desilusiones tengo montones
No eres tú, soy yo, soy yo
No te enamores, yo rompo-
No eres tú, soy yo, soy yo
No eres tú, soy yo, soy yo, soy yo, soy yo
The lyrics of Kali Uchis's song "No Eres Tú" is about a confident and self-aware woman who knows what she wants and what she can offer to her partner. She warns the person she's interested in to be careful with what they ask for as she can have them hooked once they experience what she can provide. However, she's also honest that she's not ready for a committed relationship, and the other person should not fall in love with her as she'll break their heart.
The chorus repeats the phrase "No eres tú, soy yo," which translates to "It's not you, it's me." She reinforces that it's not the other person's fault for the potential disappointment in their relationship, as she has a lot of disillusionment and knows how to break hearts. The woman in the song is in control, and she is not afraid to admit her flaws and limitations.
Kali Uchis has expressed that this song is about her taking her power back, and not settling for anyone who is not worth it. She wanted to showcase the idea that it's okay to have high expectations, and to know what you want in a partner, and not compromise your needs for anyone.
