This all led up to her decision to make the biggest and riskiest move of her life, and that was to move to the United States. She settled in the Bronx, New York, or “the City of the Dreams and Dreamers” for young, aspiring musicians like her at the time. In a 2019 interview with Billboard, Natti called the move “one of the craziest moves anyone ever did in her family,” and that she often looks back at the decision and wonders what she was doing. Natti would hop from studio to studio, working without pay, but to her, this was a way to get her name out there. A producer friend from Santiago would soon step in and lend her his New York studio.
Natti’s first-ever break came when icon Don Omar signed her to his record label, the Orfanato Music Group, and the pair would go on to make history for years to come. Their collaborations “Dutty Love,” “Tus Movimientos,” “Perdido en tus Ojos,” and a “Hold Ya” remix with Gyptian made waves across Latin America and introduced the world to future reggaeton royalty. Her debut project, an EP titled “All About Me” was released on March 28, 2012.
Natti would continue to make big career moves throughout the years including her departure from Don Omar’s record label and signing onto Pina Records in 2016, but it wasn’t until 2017 when her big breakout would come once and for all. Not only did she record and release a collaboration titled “Otra Cosa” alongside the legendary Daddy Yankee, but she also released what was arguably the biggest song of 2017. “Criminal” featuring Ozuna became an instant hit upon its release, the music video amassing over 1 billion views in just five months and becoming the most watched music video by a female singer released that year.
2019 saw the release of her much-anticipated debut album, “ilumiNATTI,” on February 15. 15 tracks made up the project with two collaborations in total, “Te Lo Dije'' with Anitta and “Soy Mía” with Kany García. Standout track “La Mejor Version de Mi” would transform into a bachata hit with its remix featuring bachata king Romeo Santos.
Natti’s sophomore album titled “NATTIVIDAD” would be released two years later on September 24, 2021 with 17 tracks featuring several chart-topping collaborators such as Becky G, Maluma, and Prince Royce. The release was followed up by the six-episode docuseries titled “Everybody Loves Natti” which documented her pregnancy and relationship with fiancé Raphy Pina. The series premiered on November 19, 2021 on Amazon Prime Video and was generally well received.
La Mejor Version de Mi
Natti Natasha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Porque siempre me frenaste con tu pésima actitud
Nunca pude ser quien era por amarte a tu manera
Me olvidé hasta de ser yo
Let me finesse this track (remix!)
La mejor versión de ti, no la he merecido yo
Por complejos de ser rey, mi forma devastadora
Ignoraba tu corona
Y hoy se cambian los papeles, acabó mi suerte
Los llantos que he causado, los pago con creces
Por mi dictadura, por mis idioteces
Termino en un remix sufriendo por perderte
Es que estoy aquí
Observando la mejor versión de ti (oh-uoh-oh, uh-uh-uh)
Es el karma de la vida, vean lo que me toca
Hoy que ya no eres mía, yo te haría mi esposa
Malgasté tu tiempo, arruine tu cuento
Tú fuiste demasiado y yo poca cosa
Natti, estoy aquí
Observando la mejor versión de ti
(Listen) Yo te hice sufrir
Tú viviste la peor versión de mí
(Bachatéame)
Ja, okay
Natti Nat'
Ay, mami
Me quiero morir
Pero me llegó el momento y quise ser más fuerte
Y ahora estoy tan convencida que no debo verte
Que perdí mi tiempo mientras tú ganabas
Porque valgo mucho más de lo que imaginabas
Y ahora estoy aquí (sé que te perdí)
Disfrutando la mejor versión de mí
Natti no me abandones así
Y porque hoy que no te tengo, tengo tantas cosas
Ahora empiezo a disfrutar un poco más las rosas
Porfa, no me insistas, tampoco lo intentes
Si ya sé que nunca cumples lo que me prometes
Y ahora estoy aquí (ah-ah)
Disfrutando la mejor versión de mí
Natti, estoy aquí
No merezco la mejor versión de ti
The King
Maldito sentimiento
The song "La Mejor Versión de Mi" by Natti Natasha is about personal growth and reclaiming one's identity after being held back by a toxic relationship. The lyrics describe how the singer's former partner never allowed her to be her true self and instead imposed their own expectations and limitations on her. As a result, she lost sight of who she was and became someone she no longer recognized.
However, now that she has ended the relationship and taken control of her life, she feels empowered and confident in her ability to be her most authentic self. She acknowledges that it was a difficult journey but one that has ultimately led her to a better place. The song encourages listeners to let go of any negative influences in their lives and embrace their own unique qualities and strengths.
This message of self-acceptance and resilience has resonated with many people and helped make the song a hit in Latin America and beyond. Additionally, the song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody have made it a popular choice for dancing and karaoke.

La mejor versión de mí
I am finally becoming my best self
No la conociste tú
You never truly knew the best version of me
Porque siempre me frenaste
You held me back with your negative attitude
Con tu pésima actitud
Your bad attitude hindered my growth
Nunca pude ser quien era
I was never able to be myself
Por amarte a tu manera
Because I loved you in the way you needed
Me olvidé hasta de ser yo
I even forgot who I truly was
Está a punto de llegar
My best version is on the verge of arriving
Porque estoy recuperando
I am regaining
Toda mi seguridad
All of my security
Esa que me arrebataste
That you took away from me
Con tus celos sin sentido
With your senseless jealousy
Con tu forma de pensar
With the way you thought
Pero me llegó el momento y quise ser más fuerte
But I decided to become stronger
Y ahora estoy tan convencida que no debo verte
I am so convinced that I should not see you
Que perdí mi tiempo
I wasted my time
Mientras tú ganabas
While you were winning
Porque valgo mucho más de lo que imaginabas
Because I am worth more than what you imagined
Y ahora estoy aquí
And now I am here
Disfrutando la mejor versión de mí
Enjoying the best version of myself
Y porque hoy que no te tengo, tengo tantas cosas
And because now that I don't have you, I have so many things
Ahora empiezo a disfrutar un poco más las rosas
Now I am starting to enjoy the roses a little more
Por fa', no me insistas
Please, do not insist
Tampoco lo intentes
Do not try it either
Si ya sé que nunca cumples lo que me prometes
Because I know you never fulfill your promises
No te toca a ti
It is not up to you
Disfrutar de la mejor versión de mí
To enjoy the best version of me
