How did Jlo Come up with Dance Again Music Video?
After experiencing a decrease in her commercial success with her studio albums Como Ama una Mujer (2007) and Brave (2007), and the single “Louboutins” (2009) Lopez parted ways with Epic Records and Sony Music Entertainment in 2010, her record label for over ten years. She then signed a record contract with Island Records by its CEO L.A. Reid, to release her seventh studio album Love? (2011). She released her first single with the label “On the Floor” featuring American rapper Pitbull in February 2011. The song topped the charts across the globe; peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, her highest peaking song on that chart in over eight years. The song became one of the most successful singles of the year. Despite the success of the single, Love? received moderate commercial success, reaching the top ten in over twenty countries. Following the release of “On the Floor”, Love? produced two moderately successful singles: “I’m Into You” and “Papi“, both of which topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. In November 2011 it was revealed that Lopez was working on new material for a greatest hits album, to be released in 2012.
The following month, Lopez posted a message on her Twitter account starting that she was playing some of her new music for L.A. Reid, who was now the CEO and chairman of Epic Records. This led further speculation that Lopez had moved back to Epic Records, which was first reported in July 2011. However, in an interview, it was confirmed that Lopez was still with Island Records and that “Dance Again” was released under Epic Records because she owes them one final album to end her contract. She stated that she was deciding wether it would be a greatest hits album or a new studio album. It was later decided to release a greteast hits album, entitled Dance Again… the Hits, on July 24, 2012 in the United States, which is also Lopez’s birthday.
