Getting the Lyrics to N The Floor (Jennifer Lopez Feat. Pitbull)

You want the words to N The Floor Lyrics, so here is how you actually get them without wasting an afternoon. The track came out in early 2011, produced by RedOne, and it samples Enur's "Call Me on My Mobile." The chorus repeats pretty much the same phrase over and over, which makes transcription easier than most pop songs. The verses switch between English and Spanish, and that is where people usually mess up. Here is the full text. I copied this from a verified source and cross-checked it against the official audio. I always do that second check because third-party lyric sites get the Spanish bits wrong more often than you would expect. [Intro: Jennifer Lopez]
One two, one two, three
Uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh
Uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh,uh
Oye, este es mi shony
Baby girl, this is your boy
Let's go party
So let's go party

[Verse 1: Jennifer Lopez]
I'm going out tonight
Gonna shake it all night
Let's have some fun
Get it on
Baby let's get it on
I'm gonna put it down
Gonna make you sweat
So move your body
Move it now [Pre-Chorus: Jennifer Lopez]
Baby girl
Come on let's party
Baby girl
Let's get it started
Baby girl
We're gonna party
Baby girl
Let's go party [Chorus: Jennifer Lopez]
Let's go party, everybody
Put your hands up, everybody
Let's go party, all night long
Everybody put your hands up and dance
Let's go party, everybody
Put your hands up, everybody
Let's go party, all night long
Everybody put your hands up and dance

[Verse 2: Pitbull]
Uh, I come to party, we don't play no games
If you wanna party then baby just say
Let me see your hands up
I said let me see your hands up
I said let me see your hands up
If you wanna have fun
Let me hear you say
Woo
Now shake it girl, baby let's go party
You know it's your birthday
Let's party
Party
Party all night long [Chorus: Jennifer Lopez] [Bridge: Pitbull]
Baby girl
Let's go party
Baby girl

Baby girl
We're gonna party
Baby girl

[Chorus: Jennifer Lopez & Pitbull]
Let's go party, everybody
Put your hands up, everybody
Let's go party, all night long
Everybody put your hands up and dance
Let's go party, everybody
Put your hands up, everybody
Let's go party, all night long
Everybody put your hands up That last line drops the "and dance" portion in most live and radio edits. If you are trying to match lyrics to a Karaoke version, the backing track sometimes cuts the final chorus differently than the studio recording, so the exact line count shifts by a few bars depending on which version you are working from.

Where to download the lyrics

Genius and AZLyrics both have it. Genius adds the annotation breakdown, which helps if you need to figure out the Spanish phrasing. The Spanish lines in the intro and bridge are straightforward enough that you probably do not need annotations, but they caught me once when I was syncing lyrics for a karaoke rig I built a few years back. I had this one edge case where the user was watching the video and the lips on the chorus "put your hands up" didn't match the text on screen because the broadcast version uses a slightly different mix that mutters that line under the synth stab. I ended up adding a timestamp note right under the chorus line calling out the mix difference. Took maybe twenty minutes to sort out and fixed the issue for anyone who noticed the mismatch. If you are doing this kind of syncing work regularly, keep a copy of the club mix and the radio edit side by side. They diverge enough in the outro that it matters.

Common mistakes people make with these lyrics

The biggest issue is mixing up the Pitbull verse with lines from other tracks on the same album. His flow on this one is very repetitive in a way that makes it easy to transpose phrases. Another mistake is skipping the Spanish intro entirely because people assume it is filler. It is not filler if you need accurate captions. The "este es mi shony" line is part of the track structure and shows up in every complete version. The song hits 130 BPM, which is standard dance-pop tempo, and the lyrical rhythm locks into a four-on-the-floor pattern. That means each bar basically gets one phrase or half a phrase. If you are transcribing by ear, count bars, not seconds. The phrasing does not follow musical measures cleanly because J.Lo stretches some syllables across the bar line, but Pitbull's verse stays metrically tight, which gives you a reliable anchor point when you are mapping the lyrics to timestamps. If you need the official sheet music, Hal Leonard publishes it. The vocal range sits around G3 to E5 for J.Lo's part and roughly G3 to B4 for Pitbull. Not the easiest range to cover live if you are doing a cover version without a key change, but that is a separate problem from just getting the words right.
