Single of the Day: Pitbull & Ne-Yo - Time of Our Lives

Oleh: admincd - 12 Jan 2015

Released by: Sony Music Entertainment Indonesia

Gone are the days of 'Calle Ocho', karena sekarang Pitbull kayak enggak PD untuk tampil sendirian memeriahkan lagunya. Dari album studio terbarunya, "Globalization", ia merilis 'Time of Out Lives' yang kembali mengikatnya dengan penyanyi/penulis lagu/produser Ne-Yo. Ini merupakan kesempatan kedua bagi keduanya untuk berdampingan di satu lagu, setelah sukses besar di 2011 'Give Me Everything'. Dibantu oleh Dr.Luke, Cirkut, dan tim, lagu ini memang kalah club/house anthemic dibanding 'Give Me Everything', tapi jelas ia punya feel yang lebih real.

Kemudian, dengan durasi sepanjang 3 menit 49 detik, lagu dibagi dalam beberapa fragmen. Verse rap oleh Pit tersaji dua kali, hook resmi oleh Ne-Yo sebanyak empat kali, dengan empat pre-hook yang mendahuluinya, serta sebuah bridge menjelang akhir lagu. Itu mengapa kolaborasi ini menggunakan nama Pitbull & Ne-Yo, bukannya featuring. Proporsi seimbang menjadikan kolaborasi ini tak berpihak.

Arah musik Pitbull belakangan menjorok pada bunyi instrumen yang organik. Meskipun pengaruh elektronika masih lebih berkuasa, tapi setidaknya ia sudah mencoba untuk lebih nyata dalam menghadirkan sound di musik. Ini berpengaruh pada fuse yang ia lakukan terhadap dance-hop yang menjadi akar musik. Sebongkah soul/urban/retro vibe menjadi bumbu terhadap lagu, menambah panjang daftar mix and match yang ia pernah ia lakukan.

Hubungan Pit dan Ne-Yo di kesempatan kali ini mutualisme. Karena Pit butuh membuat hit masif dari album studio terbarunya dan Ne-Yo juga perlu pemanasan untuk album studio yang berjarak tiga tahun dari album sebelumnya. Dengan kehadirannya di 40 besar Billboard Hot 100, tampaknya 'Time' sudah menuntaskan pekerjaannya bagi kedua belah pihak.

LYRIC

[Pre-Chorus - Ne-Yo:]

I knew my rent was gon' be late about a week ago

I worked my ass off, but I still can't pay it though

But I got just enough

To get up in this club

Have me a good time, before my time is up

Hey, let's get it now

[Chorus - Ne-Yo:]

Ooh I want the time of my life

Oh baby

Ooh give me the time of my life

Let's get it now

[Verse 1 - Pitbull:]

This is the last $20 I got

But I'm a have a good time ballin' or out

Tell the bartender line up some shots

Cause I'm a get loose tonight

She's on fire, she's so hot

I'm no liar, she burned the spot

Look like Mariah, I took another shot

Told her drop, drop, drop, drop it like it's hot

Dirty talk, dirty dance

She a freaky girl and I'm a freaky man

She on the rebound, broke up with her ex

And I'm like Rodman, ready on deck

I told her I wanna ride out, and she said yes

We didn't go to church, but I got blessed

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Verse 2 - Pitbull:]

Tonight I'm a lose my mind

Better get yours cause I'm gonna get mine

Party every night like my last

Mommy know the drill, shake that ass

Go ahead baby let me see what you got

You know you got the biggest booty in this spot

And I just wanna see that thing drop

From the back to the front to the top

You know me I'm off in the cut

Always like a Squirrel, looking for a nut

This isn't for show I'm not talking 'bout luck

I'm not talking 'bout love, I'm talking 'bout lust

Now let's get loose, have some fun

Forget about bills and the first of the month

It's my night, your night, our night, let's turn it up

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge - Ne-Yo:]

Everybody going through something

(Everybody going through something)

I said, everybody going through something

(Everybody going through something)

So you might as well you roll it up

Pour it up, drink it up, throw it up tonight

I said, everybody going through something

(Everybody going through something)

Said, everybody going through something

(Everybody going through something)

So you might as well you roll it up

Pour it up, drink it up, throw it up tonight

[Verse 3 - Pitbull:]

This for anybody going through tough times

Believe me, been there, done that

But everyday above ground is a great day, remember that

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
