"Live It Up" is a song recorded by American entertainer Jennifer Lopez. It was written by RedOne, Alex Papaconstantinou, Björn Djupström, Viktor Svensson, Armando "Pitbull" Perez, Achraf Janussi and Bilal "The Chef" Hajji. It was produced by RedOne and Alex P, with co-production from Viktor Svensson and audio production by Kuk Harrell. The song features guest vocals from Pitbull; the song marks the fourth collaboration between the duo, following "Fresh Out the Oven" (2009), "On the Floor" (2011) and "Dance Again" (2012), the latter two of which achieved commercial success. "Live It Up" is a dance-pop and Europop song that features Lopez singing inspirational lyrics about living it up. It received generally positive reviews from music critics, with several critics predicting that it would be the summer hit of 2013, even though it wasn't. "Live It Up" experienced moderate commercial success worldwide, entering the top-twenty in twelve countries including the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia; however, in the United States the song only managed to reach number 60, thus failing to achieve the same commercial success as Lopez's previous collaborations with Pitbull. Lopez performed the song live for the first time on the season 12 finale of ''American Idol'' on May 16, 2013. The following day, the song's music video was released; set in France, the video is divided into to halves including a chaotic fashion show in Paris, which contrasts the care-free environment of the beach in Saint-Tropez. The music video was nominated for Best Choreography at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. == Background and release == In 2013, Lopez signed a new record deal with RedOne's 2101 Records which falls under the label's multi-year worldwide agreement with the then-EMI label and now Universal Music label Capitol Records, which will distribute the singer's future releases. Gerrick D. Kennedy of the ''Los Angeles Times'' said the deal "shouldn't come as a surprise" considering RedOne's role in Lopez's musical comeback two years prior.〔 In an official press release, RedOne stated: :"This is like a dream come true for me () It was amazing to be able to work with Jennifer on so many great records over the past two years, and now it is such an honor to have her on my label. She is a creative inspiration and a true global superstar artist who brings so much to everything she does. I feel that this is historic and a wonderful opportunity to launch 2101/Capitol in this way". "Live It Up", announced on April 24, 2013, was originally to serve as the lead single to Lopez's upcoming eighth studio album.〔 Two days prior to the song's release, a low-quality snippet of "Live It Up" surfaced online. On May 8, 2013, it was premiered at the New York radio station WHTZ, where Lopez told host Elvis Duran that she had no intentions of setting a release date for its parent album, "I think we're going to release this first and then a few singles and then we'll decide when to put the album out". She added, "I'm more a believer of letting it gain momentum. Let there be demand for the album by putting out some great music first", although Digital Spy reported that it would be released in November 2013. Ultimately, Lopez's eighth studio album ''A.K.A.'' (2014) was released the following year, but "Live it Up" was not included on its final track listing. A sing-along lyric video for the song, described by ''The Huffington Post'' as having "colorful and energetic scenes", was uploaded to Lopez's official YouTube channel. The release of Lopez's new music coincides with her upcoming 3D concert film ''Jennifer Lopez: Dance Again'', which documents her first world tour, 2012's Dance Again World Tour. The solo version of "Live It Up" premiered on June 5, 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Live It Up (Jennifer Lopez song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
