Third Time’s The Charm: J-Lo And Pitbull ‘Dance Again’

Her day job as an American Idol judge notwithstanding, Jennifer Lopez returned to pop radio this summer with a splash. Her new single, “Dance Again,” has been on the Billboard Dance/Club Play chart since April 2, reaching the top on May 26.

” ‘Dance Again’ is a big record,” says Danyel Smith, former editor of Billboard magazine. “It’s very savvy for Ms. Lopez.”

“Dance Again” is the third collaboration between Lopez and the rapper Pitbull. Smith says J-Lo is smart to continue that partnership, because the Miami rapper has remade himself into a huge draw for younger audiences.
