Lafourcade was born in Mexico City, Mexico, surrounded by music and art. Her father is the Chilean musician Gastón Lafourcade who had French parents and her mother is the pianist María del Carmen Silva Contreras. Her uncle is the Chilean writer Enrique Lafourcade, a representative of the so-called "Generation of the 50s". She attended Instituto Anglo Español, a Catholic middle school, and studied painting, flute, theater, music, acting, piano, guitar, saxophone and singing. When she was 10, Natalia sang in a Mariachi group.
She grew up in Coatepec, Veracruz, Mexico, where she studied music with her mother, María del Carmen Silva Contreras, imitating artists such as Gloria Trevi and Garibaldi. Her mother studied piano with a specialty in musical pedagogy and is the creator of the Macarsi Method for musical training and personal development for children and educators. She adapted and practiced the method with Natalia to help her rehabilitate through music following a head injury from being kicked by a horse.
When she was 17, Loris Ceroni gave Lafourcade the opportunity to be in a pop/rock group under his guidance. Lafourcade was hesitant, and Ceroni instead encouraged her to become independent. Lafourcade produced her first LP under the label of Sony Music. It was recorded in Italy and was cowritten with Aureo Baqueiro. Sabo Romo played in 2 songs. Natalia Lafourcade is a mix of pop, rock, bossa-nova and Latin rhythms. It features the songs "Busca Un Problema", "Elefantes", "Te Quiero Dar", "Mírame, Mírate", and her biggest hit, "En El 2000".
In 2005, she released Casa, her second album, but this time as Natalia y La Forquetina, the name of her band. Produced mostly by Café Tacuba's Emmanuel del Real, Casa presents a more mature, rock-oriented sound while retaining pop and bossa-nova influences on a few tracks, such as lead single "Ser Humano" (pop-rock) and its follow-up "Casa" (pop-bossa-nova). Aureo Baqueiro returned to produce the few tracks not produced by del Real. More than a year after Natalia departed from La Forquetina, she recorded an instrumental album called The 4 Seasons of Love under Sony BMG label. She also wrote the Lyrics for "Tú y Yo" from Ximena Sariñana's self-titled album.
In 2009, she released the album Hu Hu Hu, a top 10 album in Mexico. The album was produced by Emmanuel del Real (who produced "Casa" in 2005), Marco Moreno and Ernesto García. It was nominated for Best female Pop Vocal Album at the 2009 Latin Grammy Awards (won by Laura Pausini) and Best Latin Pop album at the 2010 Grammy Awards (won by La Quinta Estación). Club Fonograma also named the album the second best of 2009, and the seventh best of the decade.
In 2012, she released a tribute album to Agustín Lara called Mujer Divina.
Her next album, Hasta La Raíz, was released in March 2015. "Nunca Es Suficiente" (It's Never Enough), the first single off the album, was released on 10 February. The track "Hasta La Raíz" was No. 5 of the Viral 50 Global Spotify Chart and the No. 1 on the Viral 50 México chart.
In 2017, she recorded "Remember Me" as a duet with contemporary R&B singer Miguel for the credits of the movie Coco, and together they also performed the song at the 90th Academy Awards ceremony.
2020 saw her release the eponymous Un Canto por México, Vol. 1.
In 2023, She won a Grammy for her album " Un Canto Por México - El Musical"

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Finalmente descubrí tus besos
Me enredaste en tu mirada
Me abrazaste con todos mis defectos
Tú sí sabes quererme, tú sí sabes adorarme mi amor
No te vayas, quédate por siempre para siempre
Para siempre amarte
Corazón, tú sí sabes quererme como a mí me gusta
Soy la flor encendida que da color al jardín de tu vida
Corazón, tú sí sabes quererme como a mí me gusta
Por favor no me dejes que soy valiente en corresponderte
Ha pasado tanto tiempo
Finalmente sé que estoy dispuesta
Es tan difícil encontrar un amor
Que aquí me quedo con heridas bien abiertas
Ya no me importa lo que piensan los demás
Aquí me quedo para ser testigo siempre de la vida
Aquí por siempre, para siempre
Para siempre amarlos
Corazón, tú sí sabes quererme como a mí me gusta
Soy la flor encendida que da color al jardín de tu vida
Corazón, tú sí sabes quererme como a mí me gusta
Por favor no me dejes que soy valiente en corresponderte
Corazón, tú sí sabes quererme como a mí me gusta
Soy la flor encendida que da color al jardín de tu vida
Corazón, tú sí sabes quererme como a mí me gusta

In "Tú Sí Sabes Quererme," Natalia Lafourcade reflects on a long-awaited realization of love. She sings that she has discovered the pleasure of their kisses after a significant period has passed. She is drawn into his gaze and embraces all of her imperfections. She feels adored and loved by him. Natalia acknowledges that she has been hurt and has scars from previous relationships, yet she expresses her courage by loving him in return.
The chorus emphasizes that he truly knows how to love her like she wants to be loved, and she begs him not to leave her because she is strong enough to reciprocate his love. The last part of the song has a playful repetition of the chorus, where Natalia is calling out to her heart, asking it to confirm that he indeed knows how to love her the way she wants.

It has been so long
I finally discovered your kisses
You tangled me in your gaze
You hugged me with all my flaws
You do know how to love me, you do love my love
Don't go, stay forever forever
Forever love you
Heart, you do know how to love me as I like
I am the lighted flower that gives color to the garden of your life
Heart, you do know how to love me as I like
Please don't let me be brave to correspond to you
It has been so long
I finally know that I am willing
It's so hard to find a love
That here I stay with open wounds
I don't care what others think anymore
Here I stay to always witness life
Here forever, forever
Forever love them
Heart, you ...
