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.

quiero sentirme bien
Kali Uchis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ángel, labios de miel
Feeling like we're healing
Are we healing right, mmm
Hay quienes solo ven lo bello
Y hay quienes que solo ven defecto
Aunque no ha llegado a donde yo quiero
Tell me something (tell me)
Say it's true (say it's true)
Quiero emborrachar mi corazón (corazón, corazón, corazón)
I do (corazón, corazón, corazón)
Yo no les cuento lo que sufro y he sufrido
Nunca te preocupes con lo mío
Ay, dios mío
All I know
Solo quiero sentirme bien (all I know, all I know, all I know)
Yeah, yeah (all I know, all I know, all I know)
That's all I know
Solo quiero sentirme bien, yeah
Is there any kind of lovin' that'll make this alright?
Is there any kind of world I won't always have to fight?
Sé que todo es temporal en esta vida
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going
En este mundo solo vengo de visita
Not many people know me, but hey it was nice to meet ya'
Quiero vivir en paz, tranquila en las montañas
Fuck all, la champaña y alabanza
Just touch on me all night
Feeling like we're healing, yeah
Get a little bit of healing
Little bit of healing
Hay quienes solo ven lo bello
Y hay quienes solo ven defecto'
Sinceramente yo te lo digo directo
All I know
Solo quiero sentirme bien (all I know, all I know, all I know)
Yeah, yeah, that's all I know
Solo quiero sentirme bien, yeah
The song "quiero sentirme bien" by Kali Uchis showcases the artist's desire for emotional and mental healing. The first verse alludes to her love interest with "Ángel, labios de miel" meaning "Angel, honey lips." She talks about the importance of surrounding yourself with people who see both the good and bad sides of you, and how that can aid in the healing process. Despite not having reached her desired level of emotional stability, she is sure she does not want to go back to where she used to be. The chorus repeats the line "Solo quiero sentirme bien," which translates to "I just want to feel good."
The second verse delves deeper into her mental state and the struggles she keeps within herself. She expresses her unwillingness to share her pain with others and thanks them for not worrying about her. The lines "Is there any kind of lovin' that'll make this alright? Is there any kind of world I won't always have to fight?" showcase Kali's vulnerability and hint at her desire to escape the pain through love or a place where she can find peace. The last verse supports this idea, as she talks about wanting to live in peace and feeling healed by the love and touch she shares with her partner. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the idea of the artist's desire for emotional stability and peace.
