"Pa' Ti" and "Lonely" (collectively referred to as "Pa' Ti + Lonely") are two songs recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez and Colombian singer Maluma for the soundtrack of the upcoming film, Marry Me (2021). They were released on September 24, 2020, by Sony Music Latin. "Pa' Ti" was written by the duo alongside Andrea Mangiamarchi "Elena Rose", Jon Leone and Edgar Barrera and produced by the former two. "Lonely" was written by the duo alongside Kevin Mauricio Jiménez Londoño and Bryan Snaider Lezcano Chaverra "Chan El Genio", who also produced the song under stage names Kevin ADG and Chan El Genio "The Rude Boyz".

Background

While promoting her single "Medicine" in April 2019, Lopez told Ebro Darden of Beats 1 radio that the next album she releases will "probably be with a new movie".[2] Later that same month, it was announced that she would be starring alongside Owen Wilson in the romantic comedy, Marry Me (2021).[3] In July 2019, Colombian singer Maluma was cast to play Lopez's fiancé in the film.[4] During their first week of shooting, on October 5, 2019, Lopez and Maluma performed her song "No Me Ames" during his show at Madison Square Garden in New York City.[5] In February 2020, Lopez announced that she would be releasing a new album alongside Marry Me that would also serve as the film's soundtrack.[6] She told Jimmy Fallon that the album would feature "six or eight" songs performed by herself and "two or three" songs performed by Maluma, as well as a duet between the two that is performed as both an uptempo and a ballad.[7]

On June 18, 2020, Lopez revealed that she was working on more new music, teasing: "I cannot wait for you to hear what we've been working on pa' ti".[8] A month later, she posted a photo of herself in the recording studio with Maluma, with the caption: "Pase lo que pase 'toy pa' ti".[9] She later revealed in an interview with Variety that she recorded two new songs with Maluma that would be released "in the near future". According to Lopez, they "had such a fun and natural chemistry" while working on Marry Me, which led them to wanting to record additional music beyond what they had already recorded for the film.[10] On September 21, 2020, Lopez and Maluma posted a 15-second teaser on both of their respective social media accounts to announce that they would be releasing a "two-song" collaboration, called "Pa' Ti + Lonely", on September 24, 2020.[11] It was later revealed the two songs would be featured on the Marry Me soundtrack.[1]

Composition

"Pa' Ti" is a midtempo reggaeton song[1][12] in which Lopez and Maluma sing about "what one has to offer the other by way of their wealth and lavish lifestyle."[13] The chorus features the two harmonizing as they state: "Todo lo que tengo es pa’ ti, pa ‘ti / Pase lo que pase, estoy pa’ ti, pa’ ti",[13] which translates to "everything I have is for you, for you / whatever happens, I'm here for you, for you".[1] Meanwhile, "Lonely" features a "slower and steady" trap beat.[13][1]

Critical response

Jon Caramanica of The New York Times described the collaboration as "A pair of effective new songs from Jennifer Lopez and Maluma, well-matched singers more interested in rhythm than power, more invested in melodrama than depth. 'Pa Ti' is the ascent, a crisp flirtation that’s hard to argue with — both sing with sass and swing. And then 'Lonely' is the collapse, a slightly more morose thumper with less steady vocals."[14] Jessica Roiz of Billboard described the melodies of both tracks as "infectious" and highlighting the "vocal chemistry" between Lopez and Maluma.[1] Also writing for Billboard, Jason Lipshutz stated, "The vocal chemistry is palpable on both tracks, as Lopez eases her approach to match Maluma’s more hushed romance; if the pair combines for a longer collaboration, it would be one to remember."[15]

Music video

The two-part music video for "Pa' Ti" and "Lonely" was directed by Jessy Terrero and shot in Huntington, New York and New York City over the course of three days.[1][16] Lopez's hair for the video was styled by Chris Appleton, and her makeup done by Mary Phillips. Describing her look in the video, Appleton said: "The first half of the video she’s kind of on the nicer side, and then in the second video she gets more badass. The first video is kind of clean, and then she’s escaping jail and getting revenge."[16] Lopez collaborated with Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn on her wardrobe for the video.[17]

The video begins with "Pa' Ti", where a billionaire played by Lopez is under investigation for corruption; Maluma plays her bodyguard. Different scenes showcase Lopez dancing in her office, as well as singing with Maluma at her villa and on a rooftop overlooking New York City. As the video for "Pa' Ti" progresses, the two gradually become closer and ultimately end up in bed together. "Lonely" begins where "Pa' Ti" ends, showing Lopez and Maluma in bed when the FBI begin raiding her villa. Lopez is arrested and soon discovers that her bodyguard and lover is in actuality an undercover FBI agent. The two later have a heated encounter as they confront one another in a police interrogation room.[17][18][19] Lopez then performs a dance break in prison, before Maluma helps her escape. Two months later, Maluma finds Lopez sitting at a bar in Abu Dhabi; Lopez walks away as "Lonely" ends.[20]

The video, as well as a behind-the-scenes video, premiered on September 24, 2020, on TikTok Live.[11] Writing for Harper's Bazaar, Chelsey Sanchez described the video for "Pa' Ti + Lonely" as a "cinematic narrative (think The Wolf of Wall Street meets Chicago)", and also regarded it as having "some of the hottest fashion moments to grace our laptop screens this year."[17] Likewise, iHeartRadio's Regina Star described the videos as a "cinematic 9-minute experience" and "two smoking-hot visuals".[13] Mike Wass of the website Idolator stated that the video "seems to have a bigger budget than most independent movies", calling it a "serve from beginning to end".[21] Chris Murphy of Vulture noted the chemistry between Lopez and Maluma, and wrote that "the music video for 'Lonely' shows us what a Chicago revival starring Jennifer Lopez as Velma Kelly would look like, and it absolutely does not disappoint."[12] Gabriela Arevalo of Radio.com stated that "audiences are taken on an emotional rollercoaster" throughout the two-part video, calling it "a story full of intrigue, suspense, and further proof that Lopez’s dancing skills in Hustlers were just a taste of what the former fly girl can do."[22]

Promotion

Upon the premiere of the video through TikTok, Lopez had invited the application's two biggest stars Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae to start a promotional dance challenge for "Pa' Ti" on the platform.[23] The viral dance challenge features a dance routine which mirrors Lopez's choreography in the music video for "Pa' Ti", and as of September 29, 2020, posts with the hashtag "#PaTiChallenge" had generated over 1.3 billion views on the platform.[24] As part of the challenge, Lopez and TikTok partnered with the yogurt company Yoplait, where the latter agreed to donate $1 to Feeding America for every "#PaTiChallenge" and "#YoplaitimeDonation" hashtag shared until October 30, 2020.[24]
