McLovin
Okay, I admit it. I have finally succumbed to this song. When it was released, I barely paid it any attention; with endlessly repeated lyrics and a featured performed by 'Mr. Worldwide', it didn't do that much for me. Close to year later, with nearly half a billion (!) views on YouTube, I definitely should have paid it more attention.
On The Floor takes the 'let's sing in the club til we're drunk'-feeling that's dominated the early Gaga-BEP-Guetta chart hits for the past three years to the absolute limit. In retrospect J.Lo's comeback single feels a bit like a culmination of all that's (recently) gone before it. RedOne production? Check. Marmite-like guest rapper? Check. Absolutely enormous chorus? Huge stamp of approval.
While there's a part of me that - rationally or not - prefers I'm Into You, I do feel I'm getting to grips with why this was such a global success. I like J.Lo quite a lot anyway, so all's well that end well, eh?
NEXT UP: Apologetic party-rockers LMFAO dominate the charts...

I loved it from when I first heard it - somehow the basic tune just gripped me from the word go and I celebrated whenever it came on the radio and consequently rocked up the volume haha - glad you've caught up ;-)
