Born in Medellín and raised primarily in Miami, Yatra began singing at a young age and returned to Colombia to begin his musical career. He achieved breakout success with "Traicionera" followed by "Robarte un Beso" featuring Carlos Vives. "Traicionera" served as the lead single for his 2018 debut album, Mantra, which also featured the single "Sutra", featuring Puerto Rican rapper Dalmata. He then released the album Fantasia including the lead single "Un Año" featuring Mexican band Reik. He received continued success collaborating with Daddy Yankee, Natti Natasha, and the Jonas Brothers on the bilingual single "Runaway".
Yatra's music has been classified as Latin pop, reggaeton, and ballads. According to The Fader, Yatras music lands "somewhere in between the olden times’ sappy romantics and the new wave’s sensuous vibras."He is influenced by Latin pop and reggaeton artists Ricky Martin, J Balvin, Juanes, and Reik. In an interview with Billboard, he expressed a desire to collaborate with Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli. Yatra believes that contemporary musicians commit an "error in associating ballads with boring and slow and old", and hopes to rejuvenate intererest in ballads for a younger audience.However, his music contains elements of other genres; Desire Thompson of Vibe described his song "Traicionera" as a "trap-EDM blend".
Despite growing up in Florida and being fluent in English, Yatra sings almost exclusively in Spanish. Yatra explains, “My goal was always to be a singer in Spanish. And I really wanted to understand where I come from and live it. A lot of times I went to Colombia and, even though I spoke Spanish and was always speaking Spanish with my parents, I still felt like an outsider. I wasn’t 100 percent part of it. I wanted to give my roots the importance they deserve. ”His June 2019 song "Runaway" was his first foray into bilingual songwriting. In December 2019, he collaborated with South Korean boy group Monsta X for the song "Magnetic", which features verses from Yatra in Spanish and a bridge from Monsta X in Spanglish. Sara Delgado of Teen Vogue called the song a "truly international pop hit".

Yatra, Yatra
Tú me dices que no es cierto que te mueres por mí
Si es verdad que no te gusto, no te acerques así
Me dijeron que te encanta que se mueran por ti
Buscando al que se enamora para hacerlo sufrir
Tú me dices que me quieres y no puedes ser fiel (no)
Me dejaste manejando solo y triste mujer (no)
Te confieso si lo quieres saber, si lo quieres saber
Traicionera, no me importa lo que tú me quieras
Mentirosa, solo quieres que de amor me muera
Traicionera, en mi vida fuiste pasajera
Mentirosa, no me importa que de amor te mueras
Oh, oh, oh oh
Mentirosa, no me importa que de amor te mueras
Vives bailando reggaetón-tón-tón
Y no te importa para nada lo que sienta el corazón
Solo te importa el pantalón-lón-lón
Y se te nota desde lejos tu maléfica intención
Y mira, no es tan fácil
Enamorarme nunca fue tan fácil
(Cuando estás cerca de mí) no es fácil
Y es que la vida se volvió difícil
(Solo por ti)
Si me dices que me amas no te voy a creer (no)
Tú me dices que me quieres y no puedes ser fiel (no)
Me dejaste manejando solo y triste mujer (no)
Te confieso si lo quieres saber, si lo quieres saber
Traicionera, no me importa lo que tú me quieras
Mentirosa, solo quieres que de amor me muera
Traicionera, en mi vida fuiste pasajera
Mentirosa, no me importa que de amor te mueras
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Mentirosa, no me importa que de amor te mueras
Tú me dices que no es cierto que te mueres por mí
Si es verdad que no te gusto, no te acerques así
Traicionera, no me importa lo que tú me quieras
Mentirosa, solo quieres que de amor me muera
Traicionera, en mi vida fuiste pasajera
Mentirosa, no me importa que de amor te mueras
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Mentirosa, no me importa que de amor te mueras
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Mentirosa, no me importa que de amor te mueras
Sebastian Yatra
Yatra, Yatra
In "Traicionera," Sebastian Yatra is speaking to his ex-girlfriend, who he now sees as a "traitor." She denies that she is still in love with him, though he knows she is lying. He accuses her of enjoying watching men fall in love with her just so she can break their hearts, and warns her to stay away from him if she doesn't have true feelings for him. Despite her attempts to deceive him, Yatra declares that he no longer cares what she thinks or wants, and that he has moved on from their relationship.
The lyrics are a commentary on the dangers of falling for someone who is not honest with their feelings. Through his music, Yatra warns against falling victim to those who may manipulate your emotions for their own gain. The Latin-infused beats along with the catchy chorus create a dramatic and energetic soundscape, conveying Yatra's frustration and anger at the situation.
