I love the smile she gave at 3:33, it seemed genuine as if it wasn't part of the script. :)

good effort, jen. a little long and requires some commitment from the viewer. i don't think it's going to salvage the song or blow up on vevo and storm the H100 top 20... but it's a nice video to add to her videography.

She really shines at what she does best in the video. Multiples roles like the Get Right video, choreography and looking amazing.

Video is good Song is fine, but not something I'd go out of my way to listen to. Also, damn she jumped in those heels towards in the end.

Pretty good video! Love her characters, her last outfit was sexy bootylicious (yummy!), her dancing was good (what's new?) A bit distracted with the product placements But really good video
Plus I do like the song :) I think the chorus could've hit harder, but the tropical / Latin influences are always a good sound for her

Good video!
And I don't get all the hate for this. It's fun and catchy. I especially like the pre-chorus and the "I ain't your mama no" runs at the end of each chorus. That said, it's so obviously Meghan singing most of the chorus, they should've just credited her. It probably would've been charting by now.

That is quite the jump from just a video, it was in the 600's before the release! :o . I think this has the potential to do well if radio supports it.

She slayed the video. Its also nice to see an artist making an effort towards their music videos. Videos these days are so dull and boring

Loved the video. Great visuals and great characters. She looked phenomenal, especially in the dance sequence look.

Cute video and I see it boosted it a lot on ITunes. This song is cute enough to get played some on the radio. I know she's over 40 but kids still like her and pay attention to her. She looks great and doesn't give the impression of an aging diva yet.

I don't get why some are calling the song vom-worthy. It's no OTF or WFT, but it's solid and catchy with a decent message.

I give them props for rethinking their strategy and playing the Mother's Day timing card with this - it's made a nice little splash. But It's still not enough for me to believe this will translate to a hit at Pop radio. I'm not getting my hopes up.
Nice view count on Vevo. I can see a H100 re-entry for another week. That's something!

Ugh. I hate how radio is not really playing this. Ageism at its best.

It's not getting any play??? I'm still liking this song. Actually more then when I first heard it. The only thing I still wish it had beefed up the production at some point during the song. I'm over that and just enjoying it. I don't think this would become a smash hit normally but, more of a Top 17-20 midsized hit which I think it deserves.

Ugh. I hate how radio is not really playing this. Ageism at its best. Is it ageism or is it that today's youth genuinely aren't really into her as an artist - and see her more as their mom's fave? It's hard to compete with the Selenas and Taylors of today... it's history repeating itself over and over. Radio is increasingly artist/image driven. It's a big machine. Had she released it in 2001 when she was the it girl, it probably would have hit. But it's 15 years later. Radio real estate is tighter than ever, and yesterday's hit makers lose out by default. Even on supposed "adult" hit formats in my cases. It's crazy. That said... I personally like Jen and have enjoyed quite a bit of her music. I'm not into this one. It feels gimmicky and silly to me... even if it is super catchy. Much like Meghan Trainor's music... which makes sense, since her stamp is all over this one.

I really like Jen's earlier work (and still listen to her earlier hits pretty often)....but her music now just seems so forgettable. I'm waiting for a single from her that I can get behind.
