Antojo translates to "craving." While it's commonly used for food, like a sudden craving for chocolate, it takes on a more passionate meaning in music.
In this song, J Balvin sings "Hace rato tengo antojo de ti" (I've been craving you for a while). He uses this powerful word to express an intense, almost irresistible desire for someone, making it much more than a simple want. It's a perfect word to describe a deep yearning.
"Sigue" is pure party fuel where Colombian star J Balvin brings British singer Ed Sheeran directly into the world of reggaeton. The premise is bold, flirty, and built entirely for the club floor. The chorus repeats "Sigue / Que a mí me gusta todo lo que exhibes" ("Keep going / Because I like everything you show off"), egging on a dance partner to keep moving while Balvin and Ed trade lines about grabbing drinks and hitting a hotel after the club.
The fun part is hearing Ed sing in Spanish, fully leaning into club slang with humorous confidence. He literally introduces himself as "Tu blanquito pelirrojo" ("Your little white redhead") and calls out his rivals with "Los que te tiran son flojos" ("The guys hitting on you are weak"). Balvin brings classic reggaeton party vocabulary to the track, shouting out producer Tainy while hyping up "perreo" (the grounded, hip-heavy reggaeton dance style), "guayeteo" (close, grinding dancing), and "sobeteo" (touching). It is a direct, upbeat track all about nightlife chemistry and dancing without holding back.
J Balvin grew up in Medellín playing guitar in a teenage rock band with Nirvana and Metallica on repeat, and spent part of his teens in Oklahoma and New York picking up English. Born José Álvaro Osorio Balvín in 1985, he had been releasing music in Colombia for about a decade before anyone outside it paid attention.
"6 AM" with Farruko changed that in 2014, and "Ay Vamos" and "Ginza" followed: "Ginza" held number one on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart for 22 weeks, a record at the time. He kept singing in Spanish anyway, and "Mi Gente" reached number three on the Hot 100 once Beyoncé joined the remix, before "I Like It" with Cardi B and Bad Bunny went to number one in 2018. His albums run La Familia, Energía, Vibras, Colores (every track named after a color, and a Latin Grammy for best urban album), José and Rayo, plus Oasis, a joint record with Bad Bunny. In August 2019 he became the first Latino artist to headline Lollapalooza in Chicago.
