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.

te pongo mal
Kali Uchis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por favor, no te enamores (ya lo sé)
Yo quiero sudar, papi, quiero gritar
No veo los aburridos llenos de envidia
Tengo un flow que vale oro
Se te nota, quieres probar
Un poco de mi tesoro
Piénsalo si tú te quieres quemar
Préndelo y se va a calentar
Siéntelo que yo te pongo mal
Préndelo, préndelo
Piénsalo si tú te quieres quemar
Préndelo y se va a calentar
Siéntelo que yo te pongo mal
Préndelo, préndelo
Piénsalo, quiero que lo pienses ya
Que lo que a ti te dicen es verdad
Sé que no te puedes controlar
I could see it from a mile away
Cuando me miras con esos ojos
Papacito, ay, qué rico cuando te toco
Un poquito aguardiente, limón y sal
Bitch, don't talk to me, sabes que me caes mal (mal, mal, mal, mal)
Enrola, saca y prende (prende)
No hay vibra con la endo, siempre fumo verde (verde)
Fina en tu casa y en la calle una rebelde (rebelde)
Tú no lo besa', tú lo muerde'
Ponte creativa, (papi, no sea' grosero)
Que la machina será de sativa
Este perreo altiva
La pepa que te di te puso sensitiva (es que soy sensitiva)
Yeah, se pone demonia con mi sateo
Dóbla, mete y saca en el guayeteo
Piénsalo y siéntelo (y bellaqueo)
Late por mí y no le he da'o ni de'o
Si me vas a hablar, háblame con respeto
Después que te bloqueo, comienza el bellaqueo
A mí me dicen la jefa o dicen muñeca deliciosa
A veces me dicen loca, a veces te digo que no te necesito a ti
Pero tú sabes que te quiero pa' mí
Si tú me quieres, acelera, papi
Pero yo nunca necesitaba a ti, necesitabas de mí (okay, okay, jaja)
Okay, quiero probar contigo un par de técnica'
Estirarte como si fuera elástica (uh)
Grabarte como si tú fuera' pornográfica
Y virarte como figura geométrica
Baby, pon la mano en la pared, eh (oh)
Azotarte como e', eh
Que clase bellaquera tengo contigo
(Papi, yo te lo repito)
Piénsalo si tú te quieres quemar
Préndelo y se va a calentar
Siéntelo que yo te pongo mal
Préndelo, préndelo
Piénsalo si tú te quieres quemar
Préndelo y se va a calentar
Siéntelo que yo te pongo mal
Préndelo, préndelo (Kali Uchis)
The song Te Pongo Mal by Kali Uchis and Jowell & Randy is a reggaeton track that explores themes of sexual desire and power dynamics. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, with Kali acknowledging that her partner wants to have sex with her but warning them not to fall in love with her. She then goes on to express her own desires to sweat and scream, with no room for envy or boredom.
Throughout the song, Kali showcases her own confidence and prowess, telling her partner that they want to try her "tesoro" or treasure, but warning them not to get obsessed with her. The chorus repeats the phrase "Piénsalo si tú te quieres quemar, Préndelo y se va a calentar, Siéntelo que yo te pongo mal" which roughly translates to "Think about it if you want to burn yourself, Light it and it will heat up, Feel it, I'll make you feel bad."
Jowell & Randy's verses continue with the sexual imagery, with lines like "Un poquito aguardiente, limón y sal" referring to the act of licking salt off someone's body and then taking a shot of alcohol. The song also delves into power dynamics, with Kali asserting that she doesn't need her partner, but they need her. The bridge of the song features Kali telling her partner to speak to her with respect and warning them that once she blocks them, they will engage in the "bellaqueo" or sexual tension.
Overall, the song Te Pongo Mal is a bold and confident expression of sexual desire, showcasing Kali Uchis' and Jowell & Randy's prowess as artists in the genre of reggaeton.
