Released in 2012 as the lead single from Jennifer Lopez’s first greatest hits album, Dance Again… the Hits, “Dance Again” reunited J.Lo with rapper Pitbull for another explosive dance-floor anthem. Produced by RedOne, the upbeat dance-pop and electropop track celebrates love, freedom, and the joy of dancing, carrying a deeper meaning for Jennifer as a symbol of overcoming a difficult divorce and embracing life again. Their third collaboration became a worldwide hit, reaching #1 in Greece, South Korea, and the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, while landing in the top 10 across 16 countries. Directed by longtime collaborator Paul Hunter, the glamorous music video features bold choreography and Jennifer’s then-boyfriend Casper Smart, earning an MTV Video Music Award nomination for Best Choreography.

Lyrics
Dance Again (Lyrics):
Dance, yes (RedOne)
Love, next
Dance, yes (J.Lo)
Love, next
Shimmy Shimmy yah, Shimmy yam

I’m a ol’ dirty dog all day
No way Jose
Your girl only go one way, ay mi madre
You should check that out
Maybe you ain’t turn her out
