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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Natti Na', Natti Na'
Me-Me-Me-Me gusta lo' beso' prohibido', lo que hay escondido'
Me gusta que me hablen bajito, así respiraito'
Me gusta donde haya peligro, donde haya delirio
Me gusta; e' malo, pero es que me gusta
Que tú tienes a alguien pero me quieres a mí
Yo sé que me piensas cuando estoy lejos de ti
Y si me preguntan digo que nunca te vi
No somos amigos, pero tenemos privilegio'
No' vemos a escondida' y eso que no hay nada serio
Pa' qué tener un compromiso
Si dice que te ama pero en su cama a mi fue la que quiso
Lo' bueno' buscan lo malo y lo' malo' buscan lo bueno
Podemo' pecar pero sin arrepentimiento
La agenda escribida y como quiera yo lo tengo
Repetimos siempre que puedo
Porque me gusta (ah, ah)
Lo' beso' prohibido', lo que hay escondido'
Me gusta que me hablen bajito, así respiraito'
Me gusta donde haya peligro, donde haya delirio
