A Spanish-language version of "She Bangs" was also recorded under the same title and reached the summit of the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in the United States. The music video for "She Bangs" was filmed in the Bahamas and directed by Wayne Isham. The suggested sexual content of the video caused controversy and led to it being banned in several Latin American countries. Despite the backlash, the visual won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Music Video and the Lo Nuestro Award for Video of the Year, both in 2001. The song has been covered by several artists including William Hung on American Idol. His cover version received unfavorable reviews from both the judges at the show and music critics.

Composition and lyrical interpretation

"She Bangs" is a dance song that features Latin music influences and lasts for four minutes and forty-two seconds.[2][3] According to Alfred Publishing Company's digital sheet music for the single, "She Bangs" is composed in the key of F# minor and set in common time signature, and with a groove of 142 beats per minute.[4] Martin's vocals span from the low note of D4, to the high note of F#5.[4] The song's instrumentation features "powerful" percussion, trumpet blasts and tropical beats.[3][5] Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly wrote that the song starts with a "teasing snatch" of a "sputtering" Spanish guitar, before the disco beats start. The beats are followed by an "equally inevitable driving" horn section, which Willman called reminiscent of the one on Martin's 1999 single "Livin' la Vida Loca".[6] Lyrically, "She Bangs" is similar to the singer's previous singles, "María" (1995) and "Livin la Vida Loca; it tells a "tale of a wild woman who may be hard to let go and even harder to hold."[5] Billboard' wrote that the song's lyrics are "insane" and will make cynics bark in a triumph, "Talk to me, tell me the news/ You'll wear me out like a pair of shoes/We'll dance until the band goes home/Then you're gone, yeah baby."[3]

Release and reception

"She Bangs" was released to radio stations on September 22, 2000.[7] It received positive reviews from music critics. A reviewer of Billboard magazine praised the song and wrote that "She Bangs" is "simply manic with exuberance and energy", being designed to ignite the flavor of "Livin' la Vida Loca". According to the staff, the single was just what the radio needed at the time of release, a "summertime smash" in the fall season.[3] Similarly, Allison Stewart from the Chicago Tribune called the song "glamorous" but thought that it replicates the former.[2] Sean Piccoli and Lawrence A. Johnson of the Sun-Sentinel agreed with Stewart and noted that the resemblance of the song is a result of both songs being produced by Rosa. The two of them further noted that the song's credits include a personnel consisting of 34 people, opining that the "life of any serious party knows: It's all about the entourage".[8]

Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times noted that the erotic images of the song and accompanying music video are "up a notch" from his previous lead single "Livin' la Vida Loca" "and will likely do no harm to Martin's hunk status".[5] In a review of Sound Loaded, Orlando Sentinel's Jim Abbott labeled "She Bangs" and "Loaded" as "bon-bon shakers" in reference to Martin's 1999 single "Shake Your Bon-Bon".[9] Jose F. Promis from AllMusic concluded by calling the song "electrifying" and stated that it is arguably one of best songs of the 2000s.[10] At the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2001, "She Bangs" was nominated for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.[11] The track was recognized as the one of the best-performing pop songs at the 2002 BMI Pop Awards.[12] At the 16th Annual International Dance Music Awards, presented in 2001, the single won the award for Best Latin 12".[13]

Music video

Development and synopsis

The music video for "She Bangs" was directed by Wayne Isham and shot at the Atlantis Paradise Island hotel in the Bahamas. Isham had worked on some of Martin's previous videos, including the ones for "La Copa de la Vida" (1998) and "Shake Your Bon-Bon".[7] The singer described the concept of the video as being part of a trilogy with "María" and "Livin' la Vida Loca", "with this girl who drives me crazy because she's crazy, she won't talk to me or tell me her name".[41] Martin told Univision he envisioned the visual taking place in Atlantis and felt that the Bahamas was the perfect place to film it.[42] Jamie King helped with the creative direction of the video and over 100 people were involved in the production process.[43] A body double for Martin was used during the scenes with sharks.[42] The Spanish version of the music video premiered on September 26, 2000 for the Hispanophone market, while the English version debuted on MTV's Making the Video series the following day.[44]

The video begins with a group of women on a beach at night swimming to an underwater nightclub, with Martin following them. Martin explained that filming the scene was hard for him because he had to resist without taking air for a long time, as well as having to mime the lyrics without blowing bubbles out of his mouth.[41] Upon entering the nightclub, Martin proceeds to sing "She Bangs" as he dances with the people in the club, with several scenes resembling an orgy. In one scene, Martin sees himself being seduced by mermaids and is later taken into a closet, in which he dances erotically with several women. Near the end of the visual, Martin spills a bottle of water on himself and the people nearby him. The music video concludes with him returning to the surface at daylight.[45]

Reception and controversy

The explicit sexual scenes received criticism from the audience; several American television station cut the scenes when airing the video. According to Daily Record's John Dingwall with the video the singer ditched his teen idol image with a transformation to more mature one.[46] The video was consequently banned in several Latin American countries such as the Dominican Republic.[47] Martin told MTV News that the video represented freedom rather than his sexuality.[48] At the 2nd Annual Latin Grammy Awards in 2001, Martin and Isham won the award for Best Short Form Music Video.[49] In the same year, it was the Video of the Year at the 13th Lo Nuestro Awards.[50]

Live performances

Martin performed "She Bangs" live at the 2000 Billboard Music Awards.[51] To promote the song in Mexico, he performed it on the television programs Al Fin de Semana and Otro Rollo that same year.[52] At the 2000 MTV Europe Music Awards, Martin was accompanied by underwater dancers in tanks while he sung "She Bangs".[53] In his only North American concert of 2001, "She Bangs" was one of the songs Martin performed during the annual Wango Tango in Los Angeles.[54] In the same year, it was sung by Martin at the 43rd Annual TV Week Logie Awards.[55] The song was included on the set list for both Martin's 2011 Música + Alma + Sexo World Tour and his 2013 Australian Tour.[56][57]

William Hung gained notoriety when he auditioned for the third season of American Idol. Hung was strongly criticized for his singing and dancing. Simon Cowell interrupted his audition and asked him, "You can’t sing, you can’t dance, so what do you want me to say?"[60] Despite the negative reception, Hung gained a following his performance and signed on to Koch Entertainment.[61] Hung recorded his cover of "She Bangs" on his debut album Inspiration (2004) which was panned by music critics. AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine writes that Hung "sang it as if the song meant something to him even though he didn't understand the words, which gave the Berkeley civil engineering student innocence or, to some of his harsher critics, the appearance of being mildly retarded."[62] Chris Carle of IGN called it the "best track but that's like saying a tetanus shot is the best kind of injection you can get."[63] Clem Bestow wrote for Stylus Magazine that Hung performance of the song was "like a tone-deaf taxi driver and dancing like an epileptic octopus".[64] When Martin was asked about his thoughts on Hung's cover, he replied: "William, keep up the good work buddy!"[65] The music video for Hung's version was directed by Jeff Richter and filmed in Los Angeles.[66]
