"Papi"
Song

"Papi" is a song by American recording artist Jennifer Lopez, taken from her seventh studio album, Love? (2011). The Latin-flavored dance-pop song was written by RedOne, AJ Junior, BeatGeek, Teddy Sky, Bilal Hajji and Jimmy Joker, and produced by RedOne, BeatGeak and Jimmy Joker. Its lyrical content of the song revolves around Lopez's love to dance for her man.

The song was due to be released as a promotional single to help promote the album on April 19, 2011, but the song was unlocked and released on April 17, 2011, through a campaign on Lopez's Facebook page. "Papi" received praise from music critics, who often commented that it was one of the highlights from Love? and could experience the same commericial success as Lopez's 2011 comeback single "On the Floor". Upon release the single charted in several territories, most notably top-ten in Finland and top-twenty in Spain. "Papi" was received a full commericial release as Love?'s third single in September 2011 and October 2011.

"Papi" is a Latin and electro music-flavored, up-tempo dance-pop song written by Bilal Hajji, AJ Junior and Teddy Sky, co-written and produced by BeatGeek, RedOne and Jimmy Joker. The melody is driven by "beating" drums and "pounding" synths.[1] According to Rick Florino, from Artistdirect.com, the song also uses elements of "propulsive house" music.[2] The lyrics center around Lopez's love for dancing for her man.[3] Florino described the song's middle-8 breakdown as "a bass thump and seductive Spanish lines [that] pulsate in tandem before one final crescendo of the chorus."[2] It was scheduled for release on April 19, 2011 as the third of four promotional singles.[4] "I'm Into You" was subsequently confirmed as the album's second single.[5] The track was released three days early, after a preview was posted on Lopez's "Life for Love?" campaign, whereby the Love?'s three promotional singles were released early if enough fans "liked" them through Facebook.[6][7] The opening portion of the song is used in the dance-breakdown present in the music video for Lopez's second Love? single, "I'm Into You" (2011).[8]

Critical reception

Staff from entertainment website Idolator said "While this track, like 'On the Floor,' doesn’t bring anything new to the dance party table, that isn't really a problem. This track is totally club-ready and there's no reason why it shouldn't play just as well as 'On the Floor'."[9] Joe Guerra from The Houston Chronicle agreed calling the song one of Love?'s "best moments."[10] Rick Florino, from Artistdirect.com, gave the song a positive review, saying that on the song, "Lopez [is] at her finest".[2] In his review, Florino praised Lopez's voice, noting that it "pulsates with a fresh, fiery, and focused energy" while also commenting that "her unique delivery brandishes traditional Latin flare, [that] captivates listeners hypnotically." He ended by praising the song's memorable chorus and "majestic hook."[2]

Music video

The music video was shot in August 2011[11][12] in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was directed by Paul Hunter, who previously directed her music videos for "If You Had My Love" (1999) and "Love Don't Cost a Thing" (2001).[13] A portion of the video was shown on September 16, 2011 on Good Morning America.[14] The full video premiered on September 19, 2011 on VEVO.[15]

The music video begins with the words "Love? Happens". The video continues with Lopez chatting with her apartment mail attendant Lisa.[16] They talk about Lopez's love interest; She is disappointed because her lover hasn't returned from the army yet. Lisa then hands over the mail and offers her a cookie which she claims will bring her man back to her.[16] Lisa is careful to tell her to take only a small bite owing to the strength of the cookie, but Lopez ignores her advice and takes a big one. The following morning the captivating spell of the cookie takes hold and as Lopez leaves her apartment building she attracts the attention of a man who steals a rose to present to her, only to be tackled by another man.[16] As she walks on through the streets of the city she draws the affection of an ever-increasing number of men, including a gardener, a businessman and a motorcyclist, who fight among one another while Lopez walks on oblivious to the chaos behind her.[16]. Lopez finally reaches her car but is swarmed by the group of men who chase her with gifts of flowers and a puppy. The mob eventually outmaneuvers and corners Lopez, forcing her from the car. They proceed to dance around her in a complex display of choreography before lifting her from the ground. Her lover then emerges from a bus and rescues her and the crowd quickly dissipates, leaving the pair to drive away in Lopez's car. [16] The video ends with a shocked Lopez trying in vain to explain to her lover how "The craziest thing just happened,".[16]
