Jennifer Lopez might be a new judge on "American Idol," but let's not forget she's also a pop star. For her new club banger, "On the Floor," J.Lo teamed up with Pitbull and red-hot producer RedOne. The producer tells MTV News that for his work with the singer, he thought big. Let's face it: With J.Lo, you have to go big or go home.
"I love J.Lo. I've always been a big fan. She's a true star. Theyasked me to work with her and I was like, 'Absolutely,' " heexplained. "She's one of those that I've always admired. What she'sdone with the music and film and everything, she's a true artist a 360 artist.
"It was natural for me to get into the studio with her," he continued."I'm excited about J.Lo's 'On the Floor.'... It's getting the mostincredible reaction. I'm happy for her."
RedOne knew that if he was going to make a smash for the star, therewould be several elements involved: dance, parties and her Latinaheritage. He hoped to capture it all on the club-ready track, whichsamples Kaoma's worldwide hit "Lambada," and definitely has a Latinflare.
"She's a dancer. She can sing. I was really amazed, and I had so muchfun working with her," he gushed. "Her energy and everything about heris a star, and it was natural for me to do what we did.
"Of course, she's globa! l: She's a global artist," he continued. "She'sa global actress, and the music has to be global, and the rhythmicside of it or the Latin and this thing of a dancer [all has to bethere].
"She said, 'I want to dance. I want to make people dance and be ableto sing with me.' That's what we did, and it feels good. I think we'regoing to have a big one."
