If Jennifer Lopez wanted to make a post-breakup statement about her alluring charm, she sure succeeded with her first post-break-up music video "Papi," which debuted on Monday. The clip finds 42-year-old American Idol judge in the middle of love-struck street riot, where men throwing themselves at her, causing all kinds of chaos around her, but all she wants is her "Papi." How else to explain why People's Most Beautiful Person doesn't notice something funny is going on until she's half way through her humorous video.Lopez was nice enough to remind the world of her impeccable acting skills by creating a short film to help promote her dance track "Papi," the third official single taken from her seventh studio album, "Love?" is a Latin and electro music-flavored, up-tempo dance-pop song, and the melody is driven by "beating" drums and "pounding" synths. The lyrics center around the pop star's love for dancing for her man. Lopez is at her finest and her voice pulsates with a fresh, fiery, and focused energy.
The music video was directed by Paul Hunter and shot on New York City last month. The story begins as our forlorn singer greeting her mail attendant Lisa, confessing that her Army lover has not returned back to her. Lisa offers the singer a magic heart-shaped cookie that she claims will make "your love come back." Unfortunately, Lopez takes a chunk out of the enchanted cookie instead of a "small bite," marking the beginning of the captivating spell she unwittingly casts on every man she passes by. Lopez's charm isn't restricted to any particular type of "Papi" as she draws notice from a corporate businessman, a gardener and even a high-flying motorcyclist.
Upon entering her Fiat car, her admirers become more and more aggressive and chase her down a city street. The chaotic frenzy-turned-chase becomes infinitely more complicated until she finds herself trapped in a flash-mob production of West Side Story. Fortunately the diva realizes she can control their movements with her own so the natural thing to do is break into a dance routine! Everything works out for the best in the end, with Lopez being flung into the arms of her military man, who returned just in the nick of time to save her.
