2011-Number 1 single.

Best Bit-At 3.15.’You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching. Love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth.’ That probably sums up what this song is all about.

‘On The Floor’ is taken from Jennifer Lopez’s seventh studio Album ‘Love?,’ released in 2011, two months after this songs release, which gave Lopez her third UK Number 1 single.The track features a rap by Pitbull, who has also topped the UK chart on three occasions.’On the Floor’ samples the 1989 hit ‘Lambada,’ by the French/Brazilian group Kaoma, who in turn sampled the ‘Lambada’ from a song called ‘Llorando se fue,’ which is a 1981 Bolivian folk song, recorded by the band Los Kjarkas, so Gonzalo Hermosa of that group, is given co-songwriting credit.

The song was also co-written, and produced by Nadir ‘RedOne’ Khayat, who based parts of the song on the 2010 track ‘Party O’Clock’ by Kat DeLuna, which he also wrote,and produced, and had only been a top 20 hit in Belgium.

‘If you go hard, you gotta get on the floor. If you’re a party freak, then step on the floor.’
