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.

Kali Uchis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voy a poder conseguir todo eso que conté y que quería para mí
Esos sueños tan lindos que teníamos
Espero, pues, que si escuchas esto
Tengas presente que desde lo
Más profundo de mi corazón siempre vas a estar en mis oraciones
Qué te pedí
Que supieras que no hay en la vida otro amor
Como mi amor
Qué no te di
Que pudiera en tus manos poner
Y aunque quise robarme la luz para ti
No pudo ser
No pudo ser
In Kali Uchi's song que te pedí, the lyrics describe the singer's realization and acceptance of the difficulties that come with achieving one's dreams. The opening lines suggest that persistence and hard work are necessary to attain the goals that one sets for oneself. Despite the challenges, the singer feels hopeful that she will be able to achieve everything she has been dreaming of. She acknowledges that these dreams were once shared with someone else and hopes that they are listening to her message and understanding her sincerity.
The chorus continues this theme of longing for someone who is no longer present. The singer expresses what she asked for in the relationship, primarily loyalty and understanding, while also conveying the sentiment that her love is unique and cannot be replaced. She regrets not being able to do more for her loved one, but ultimately acknowledges that she couldn't control the outcome.
