On the Floor

About On the Floor

"On the Floor" is a song recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez for her seventh studio album, Love? (2011). Featuring American rapper Pitbull, it was released by Island Records on February 8, 2011 as the lead single from the album. "On the Floor" was written by Kinnda "Kee" Hamid, AJ Junior, Teddy Sky, Bilal "The Chef" Hajji, Pitbull, Gonzalo Hermosa, Ulises Hermosa, along with the song's producer RedOne. It is an up-tempo electro-house and dance-pop song with a common time tempo of 130 beats per minute. "On the Floor" incorporates elements of electro house and draws further musical influences from eurodance, Latin music and techno music. Lopez recorded a Spanish-language version of the song titled "Ven a Bailar" (English: "Come to Dance"), which includes additional lyrical contributions from Julio Reyes Copello and Jimena Romero. Its development was motivated by Lopez's Latin heritage and pays homage to her career-beginnings as a dancer. Interpolated within the song are recurrent elements of the 1982 Bolivian composition "Llorando se fue" written by Gonzalo and Ulises Hermosa, a composition that gained notoriety when it was sampled by Kaoma in their 1989 single "Lambada". Lopez described "On the Floor" as an evolution of her classic sound and as something which sounded very current. The debut and release of "On the Floor" coincided with Lopez's appointment as a judge on the tenth season of US reality TV show American Idol, as well as several other product endorsement deals. American Idol also provided a platform to debut the single's music video, as well as the stage for Lopez's first live performance of the song. more »

It's a new generation 
Mr. Worldwide
Of party people 
Get on the floor, dale, get on the floor  
Red one

Let me introduce you to my party people in the club, huh 

I'm loose, loose
And everybody knows I get off the chain
Baby it's the truth, it's the truth 
I'm like Inception 
I play with your brain 
So don't sleep or snooze 
I don't play no games so don't, don't, don't, 
Don't get it confused no 
'Cause you will lose yeah 
Now, no pu-pu-pu-pu-pump it up 
And back it up like a Tonka truck 
Dale

If you go hard you gotta get on the floor 
If you're a party freak then step on the floor 
If you're an animal then tear up the floor 
Break a sweat on the floor 
Yeah we work on the floor 

Don't stop, keep it movin'
Put your drinks up 
Pick your body up and drop it on the floor 
Let the rhythm change your world on the floor 
You know we're running shit tonight on the floor 
Brazil, Morocco, London to Ibiza
Straight to LA, New York, Vegas to Africa 

Dance the night away
Live your life and stay young on the floor 
Dance the night way
Grab somebody drink a little more 
(Así me gusta, así me gusta, así me gusta)
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor

I know you got it 
Clap your hands on the floor 
And keep on rockin' 
Rock it up on the floor 
If you're a criminal, kill it on the floor 
Steal it quick on the floor, on the floor 
Don't stop, keep it movin'
Put your drinks up 

It's getting ill 
It's getting sick on the floor 
We never quit, we never rest on the floor 
If I ain't wrong we'd probably die on the floor 
Brazil, Morocco, London to Ibiza, 
Straight to LA, New York, Vegas to Africa 

Dance the night away
Live your life and stay young on the floor 
Dance the night way
Grab somebody drink a little more 
(Así me gusta, así me gusta, así me gusta)
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor

That badonka donk 
Is like a trunk full of bass on an old school Chevy 
Seven tray donkey donk 
All I need is some vodka, some chonky konk
And watch and she gon' get Donkey Kong 
Baby if you're ready for things to get heavy 
I get on the floor and act a fool if you let me dale 
Don't believe me just bet me 
My name ain't Keith but I see why you sweat me 
L.A. Miami New York 
Say no more get on the floor 

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor 
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la 
Tonight we gon' be it on the floor
