Flo Rida hit it big by borrowing hooks from euphoric old Eurocheese songs by Eiffel 65 and Dead or Alive. So it's no shock that the first single from the rapper's third album is a hands-in-the-air collaboration with French house producer David Guetta called "Club Can't Handle Me." Only One Flo embraces the electro pulse of international clubland, with hedonistic lyrics to match. But although Ludacris and Gucci Mane inject momentary charisma, Flo Rida mostly flows as anonymously as any dance diva.

    “He Will Break Your Heart”

    Jerry Butler | 1960

    A lightly swinging Latin-influenced, almost cha-cha groove and close harmonies decorated Jerry Butler's early soul hit "He Will Break Your Heart," delivering a stately warning that his rival would never love his girl like he did. The melody came to Butler as he was driving on the highway from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Philadelphia with Curtis Mayfield, and as Butler told Rolling Stone, "I just sang the melody and Curtis put the chords to it." The song's premise, Butler added, "was something that I'd lived ...The lyric was an experience rather than a revelation. Whereas music is usually a revelation."
