"Jennifer Lopez - Feelin' So Good (from Feelin' so Good) ft. Fat Joe,big pun" on YouTube |
"Feelin' So Good" is a song recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez for her debut studio album On the 6 (1999). The lyrics were written by Cory Rooney and Lopez,while the music was written by Steven Standard,George Logios and Sean "Puffy" Combs,who also produced the song. It was released on January 25,2000,as the fourth single from On the 6. [1]
"Feelin' So Good" is a midtempo R&B/hip hop song with a length of five minutes and twenty-seven seconds (5:27). [2] [3] The song was written by Lopez with Cory Rooney,Christopher Rios,Joe Cartagena,Sean Combs,Steven Standard and George Logios,with Combs additionally serving as the track's producer. [4] It features rappers Big Pun and Fat Joe who often collaborated with each other. Lopez recorded her vocals for the song at Daddy's House Recording Studios and Sony Music Studios in New York City. It was later edited by Jim Janik and mixed by Prince Charles Alexander. [4] Lyrically,the song is about Lopez being in a good mood,with nothing bringing her down. Lopez sings in the chorus:"I'm feelin' so good / I knew that I would / Been taking care of myself / Like I should / Cause not one thing / Can bring me down / Nothing in this world gonna turn me around". [4] It contains a sample of Strafe's song "Set It Off" (1984). [4]
Around the time of the single's release,Big Pun,who was slated to join Lopez and Fat Joe for a performance of the song on Saturday Night Live died after a heart attack related to weight issues. [5] Lopez responded to this with a statement "He was a source of pride for the Latin community,a great artist and a great person. We will miss him terribly." [6] The song was remixed for her J to tha L-O! The Remixes by Sean Combs,the song's original producer. [7]
The song received positive reviews from music critics,who enjoyed Lopez going back to her roots. [8] Richard Torress from Newsday said "Sean (Puffy) Combs shows a deft studio touch on the hip-hop jam "Feelin' so Good," with Lopez doing a good job on a track tailor-made for the talents of Mary J. Blige." [2] Billboard writer Chuck Taylor observed that the song "abruptly changes gears" from the sound of her previous singles:"The result here is less Latin,more R&B-coated,and as tasty as cherry pie (...) Pumped with enough bass to bend steel,a hot-diggety backbeat,and a sunny chorus that's easy to memorize,'Feelin' So Good' may be the hit to propel this star into the stratosphere." [9] Describing "Feelin' So Good" as a "mid-tempo bop" and "sunny party song",Arielle Tschinkel of the website Idolator called Big Pun and Fat Joe "the peanut butter to Lopez’s jelly. Smooth yet sweet and complete perfection together." Tschinkel also noted:"the song introduced Lopez to the world as J.Lo. Of course,she would not formally take the moniker until she released her sophomore album in 2001,but glimmers of the J.Lo we know and love first came out in this song and its subsequent music video." [10]
Despite only reaching #51 on the Billboard Hot 100,the single was considered a strong fourth single from Lopez,charting inside the top 20 of several charts. [11]
The music video for the song was directed by Paul Hunter [12] and shot in the Bronx. It is the last video Pun would take part in before his death on February 7,2000. The video starts with a white text that says "In loving memory of Christopher "Big Punisher" Rios (November 10,1971 –February 7,2000)",Lopez lying on the bed answering phone calls from both Big Pun and Fat Joe. She soon hangs up,has her breakfast (fed to her by Lopez's actual mother) [13] and begins her daily routine. She is seen finding money on the pavement,receiving a paycheck and buying clothes in a sale,which accounts for her good mood. Later,her friends (Lopez's actual friends) [13] pick her up from her house,before they catch the 6 train to a club. There is then an instrumental break,where Lopez and some back-up dancers perform to Manu Dibango's 1972 song "Soul Makossa". The beat of "Feelin' So Good" returns,and Pun and Joe meet her in the club performing their raps. The video ends with Lopez and her friends returning to the station and catching the train,with Lopez looking out the dark window,reflecting on her day.
Lopez performed the song at the 2000 Kid's Choice Awards. Lopez also performed the song as a musical guest on the 11th (476th overall) episode of the 26th season of Saturday Night Live on February 5,2000. In the performance,she appeared as a teen sneaking out of her house at night. Lopez sang the song at her 2011 Mohegan Sun concert. [14] Additionally,it was included on the setlist for her 2012 Dance Again World Tour. [15]

Two years after the group disbanded, American singer Jennifer Lopez recorded her own version of the song for her debut studio album, On the 6 (1999). Ric Wake and Richie Jones produced Lopez's Hispanic house version of "Waiting for Tonight", which differs from the German-sounding Europop version that was recorded by 3rd Party. A Spanish version of the song, entitled "Una Noche Más", was adapted by Manny Benito and also recorded for the album.

The remainder of the tracks on this edition appear as they did on the album's original release.

It features American rapper Lil Wayne, who also co-wrote it alongside British singer-songwriter Taio Cruz and Norwegian musicians Mikkel S. Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen. The latter two also produced the song, credited as Stargate. A mid-tempo pop and R&B song, it depicts Lopez about being lost in love, while Lil Wayne's verses interject clever wordplay. The song was originally due for release as a promotional single in the US and Canada on April 5, 2011, but was unlocked and released in those markets four days earlier on April 1, 2011, through a campaign on Lopez's Facebook page. The song was later serviced to rhythmic and urban radio on April 26, 2011, as the second single from Love?.
American singer and actress Jennifer Lopez has been featured in forty-six music videos and has released three video albums. Lopez's first music video was for "Baila", from the soundtrack of the movie Music of the Heart. She later ventured into a musical career, and her first video was for "If You Had My Love" from her debut album On the 6. Directed by Paul Hunter, the video was known for its theme of voyeurism. The third single's video for "Waiting for Tonight" was famed for its theme of counting down to the new year with this case being the new millennium. Lopez's videos are well known for having dance breaks, including her music videos for "If You Had My Love" (1999) and "Love Don't Cost a Thing" (2000)—she brought back dance breaks in her later music videos for "I'm Into You" and "Papi" (2011). Lopez's music video for "I'm Glad" was described as one of the more "complicated" videos which recreated scenes from a 1983 film Flashdance. "I'm Into You" was praised, Kyle Anderson from Entertainment Weekly applauded her natural beauty and said "that time-out at the three-quarters mark is as sharp as any diva dance break you’ll see." In her music video for "Papi", Lopez consumes a chocolate chip cookie which will allow her "love" to come back, given to her by her apartment mail attendant; she takes too large a bite, resulting in the magic of the cookie to become effective—groups of men chase her around town until her true love finds her.
"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" Hajji, 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... the Hits is the first greatest hits album of American singer Jennifer Lopez. It was released on July 20, 2012, by Epic Records, to coincide with the launch of her first world tour, the Dance Again World Tour. Lopez previously conceived plans for a greatest hits album in 2009, but instead opted to use the material recorded for her seventh studio album, Love? (2011), which was released by Island Records in May 2011 after her departure from Epic Records in 2010. As Lopez owed the label one last album to fulfill her contract, she began work on a new greatest hits album in November 2011. She later became unsure whether she wanted to go along with plans to release a greatest hits album or a new studio album, eventually deciding on the former.
