About Dance Again

"Dance Again" is a song recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez for her first greatest hits album, Dance Again... the Hits (2012). It features guest vocals from American rapper Pitbull. The song was written by Enrique Iglesias, Bilal "The Chef", AJ Junior, Pitbull and RedOne, who also produced the song. At the time of the song's production, Lopez was unsure whether or not the song would be the lead single from a greatest hits album, or a new studio album. "Dance Again", an uptempo dance-pop song, features Lopez singing about wanting to dance and love, and it contains several sexual innuendos. Lopez credits the song as her anthem and metaphor, which stood for her surviving a rough divorce. It marks the third collaboration between Lopez and Pitbull following "Fresh Out the Oven" (2009) and the 2011 single "On the Floor". Following its release, "Dance Again" charted within the top ten of several international charts including Canada, Brazil and Spain. It also peaked at number seventeen on the Billboard Hot 100. Critics noted similarities between Dance Again" and the duo's previous collaboration "On the Floor" but critiqued "Dance Again" for its lack of originality.

Nobody knows what I'm feeling inside
I find it so stupid
So why should I hide
That I love to make love to you baby (yeah make love to me)
So many ways wanna touch you tonight
I'm a big girl got no secrets this time
Yeah I love to make love to you baby (yeah make love to me)

If this would be a perfect world
We'd be together then (let's do it do it do it)
Only got just one life this I've learned
Who cares what they're gonna say (let's do it do it do it)

I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again

Dance, yes
Love, next
Dance, yes
Love, next

Baby your fire is lighting me up
The way that you move boy is reason enough
That I love to make love to you baby (yeah make love to me)
I can't behave
Oh I want you so much
Your lips taste like heaven
So why should I stop?
Yeah I love to make love to you baby (yeah make love to me)

If this would be a perfect world
We'd be together then (let's do it do it do it)
Only got just one life this I've learned
Who cares what they're gonna say (let's do it do it do it)

I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again

Mr. Worldwide, and the world's most beautiful woman
Modern day Hugh Hef [Hugh Hefner] (uh, yes)
Playboy to the death (uh, yes)
Is he really worldwide? (uh, yes)
Mami let me open your treasure chest
Play dates, we play mates
I'm the king snatching queens, checkmate
What you thinking?
It's a rumor
I'm really out of this world
Moon, luna
Make woman comfortable
Call me bloomer
Can't even show love cause they'll sue ya
But I told them, 'hallelujah, have a blessed day'
So ahead of myself
Everyday's yesterday
Want the recipe, it's real simple
Little bit of vole, and she'll open sesame

Now dance yes (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Love next (Oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Dance yes (Oh oh oh oh oh)
Love next (Oh oh oh oh oh)

If this would be a perfect world
We'd be together then (let's do it do it do it)
Only got just one life this I've learned
Who cares what they're gonna say (let's do it do it do it)

I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
I wanna dance, and love, and dance again
