Lopez Releases the Official “Live It Up” Music Video

Following a high-octane beach shoot in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Jennifer Lopez has released the official music video for her latest single “Live It Up.”

The Jessy Terrero-directed clip, features the 43-year-old Puerto Rican singer/actress and Pitbull dressed to the nines while frolicking all over Florida.

The four-and-a-half-minute clip opens with Lopez, dressed in a black showgirl costume, being fussed over by her team of make-up artists and wardrobe assistants when she gets a call from track collaborator Pitbull, who then breaks out into his rap intro surrounded by scantily-clad women on the beachfront.

When it’s her turn to drop her verse on the track, she struts her stuff on the runway with two of her back-up dancers.

After her show stopping song-and-dance number, a slew of runway models follow suit, working the catwalk in their designer gowns, and this is where America’s Next Top Model star Eva Marcille works her magic.

But not a moment longer, J. Lo reappears in a bright red ensemble of thigh-high leather boots and a swimsuit-cut outfit with feathered sleeves that reveal her assets.

After her catwalk invasion, Lopez then meets up with Pitbull for a rocking beach party. Then for a grand finish, J. Lo goes back onstage with her crew of back-up dancers, showing off the moves that viewers first saw them perform during her live performance on “Idol”, before re-appearing in beachwear and blowing a kiss towards the camera wearing yellow lipstick.

Jennifer Lopez is livin’ it up with Pitbull… And, she’s urging you to do the same.

The 43-year-old entertainer teams up again with Pitbull, after two successful collaborations, “On the Floor” in 2011 and “Dance Again” last year, making “Live It Up” their third “annual” track together.

With the new four-minute up-tempo track, Lopez drops another potential dance floor smash, a lively RedOne production that features Pitbull’s bilingual rhyming skills delivered over a high-energy electro-beat.

While Mr. 305 preaches, “Make love. Don’t fight. Let’s f*** tonight,” J.Lo declares. “We can do anything we want / live it up / we ain’t stopping ’till we’re done / live it up.”

The lyric video makes for a fitting preview of the forthcoming music video, with all the tropical shots and colorful images shown in quick succession to go along with the fast beat of the new song.

Soon enough, fans will get to see J.Lo in her usual well-toned glory and Pitbull in his signature suit outfit with matching shades fit for the beach setting for the new music video they’ve shot with a sexy models like America’s Next Top Model alum Eva Marcille.

Lopez is expected to perform the new single when she appears on the 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19 and likewise on the American Idol season finale when she returns to the show as a musical guest in a couple of weeks.

Lopez Films “Live It Up” Music Video in Ft. Lauderdale

Prepare to be inspired to live it up… with a little help from Jennifer Lopez

The 43-year-old Puerto Rican singer/actress was in Fort Lauderdale Beach, Florida this past weekend shooting the official music video for her new single “Live It Up,” which features Mr. 305 himself Pitbull.

There’s no doubt that La Lopez will be showing off her taut body, after seeing the photos taken during the video shoot.

For the music video, Lopez wears a blue-green kaftan on top of her black bikini. She even matches the teal color of Pitbull’s trademark suit.

Lopez’s video will feature a bevy of sexy underwear models, including America’s Next Top Model alum Eva Marcille, who wore a black two-piece herself paired with six-inch high heels that showed off her great bod.

Lopez’s video shoot made headlines for more than the eye-catching outfits though…

Noise that sounded like gunshots was heard near the set while J.Lo was reportedly in the middle of an interview, and her security whisked her away to safety inside her car. Police who responded to the scene said there was no evidence that actual shots were fired, and similarly there were no witnesses and no injuries reported.
