"On the Floor" is a song by American recording artist Jennifer Lopez, taken from her seventh studio album, Love? (2011). Written by Bilal Hajji, Kinda Hamid, Gonzalo G. Hermosa, Ulises G. Hermosa, Achraf Janussi, Armando C. Perez, Geraldo Sandell and co-written & produced by RedOne, the up-tempo dance-pop song features vocals from American rapper Pitbull and samples of Kaoma's 1989 single "Lambada". "On the Floor" serves as Lopez's debut release with The Island Def Jam Music Group, after the singer ended her ten-year partnership with Epic Records. It is also the first single from Love?to be released by Island Records, and the second time that Lopez and Pitbull collaborated on a song; the first being Love?'s 2009 promotional single, "Fresh Out the Oven".
"On the Floor" premiered on January 18, 2011 On Air with Ryan Seacrest, where it was met with positive reception. The song was sent to both mainstreamand rhythmic radio stations on February 8, 2011, and released as a digital download from February 1, 2011. Although critics criticized RedOne for being unimaginative with the song, they applauded the song for updating Lopez's traditional dance-pop sound with the right mix of latin beats, as well as having a vintage Lopez sound. It has also been applauded as Lopez's best work in recent years, with a global appeal. "On the Floor" is Lopez's first single to receive airplay in Canada and the United States, since "Do It Well" (2007). Following its release, "On the Floor" has become the singer's most successful single in eight years, topping the singles chart in Finland as well as becomming a top-ten hit in Australia, Canada, Spain, Slovakia and the United States.
An accompanying music video, directed by TAJ Stansberry and choreographed by Frank Gatson, was released on March 3, 2011. The scenes depict an underground club culture and tie-in with the lyrics of the song. However, both the song and video garnered some critisms for allegedly copying elements of the lyrics from fellow Latina singer Kat DeLuna's 2009 single "Party O'Clock", also produced by RedOne. The final ending will be decided by fans who can vote from a choice of three alternate endings. The release of the single coincides with Lopez's appointment as a judge on season ten of American Idol,while the music video was simultaneously premiered on American Idol and through Vevo.Moon Music
On The Floor Lyrics[Intro]:
(Bronx!)
Boogie down
You know who this is (Yeah)
On the six, uptown
[Verse I]:
Me and, my girls
Ready to rock the party
Slide in, the club
Pickin' up everybody
Places hoppin' and jumpin'
(censored) they got the new jam bumpin' (Yeah)
It's on and crackin' tonight, yeah
[Hook]:
I stepped into another world (Another world)
As soon as I start to dance (Yeah)
Out on the floor
It's always been the only place (Only place)
When I'm looking to escape
Baby you can do the same
[Chorus]:
Let your troubles go
Baby, let it flow
Just let who you are really show
You need to take your time
Play your part with mine
It'll all be fine
Let your troubles go
[Hook 2]:
Party people get your hands up (Yeah)
Get your hands up, baby
Party people get your hands up
Get your hands up
[Verse II]:
Sweatin', grindin'
Gettin' packed but I really don't mind it
To wait, and then the heat is just getting started as I, bounce
I'm drivin' all the players crazy as I, bounce
I'm doin' it just for me
[Hook]:
I stepped into another world (Another world)
As soon as I start to dance
Out on the floor
It's always been the only place (Only place)
When I'm looking to escape
Baby you can do the same
[Chorus]:
Let your troubles go
Baby let it flow
Just let who you are really show (Really show)
You need to take your time
Play your part with mine
It'll all be fine
Let your troubles go
[Hook 3]:
Party people get your hands up (Yeah)
Get your hands up (Oh, oh)
Party people get your hands up (Get your hands up)
Get your hands up
[Hook]:
I stepped into another world (Step into another world)
As soon as I start to dance (Out on the floor)
Out on the floor
It's always been the only place (Oh...)
When I'm looking to escape (To escape, yeah)
Baby you can do the same (You can do the same)
[Chorus]:
Let your troubles go
Baby let it flow
Just let who you are really show (Really show)
You need to take your time
Play your part with mine (Flow, the flow)
