"Marry Me" is a song by American singer Jennifer Lopez and Colombian singer Maluma. It was released through Universal Studios and Sony Music Latin on February 2, 2022, as the third single from the soundtrack to the 2022 romantic comedy film of the same name. Two versions of the song were recorded: a ballad version and an uptempo version denoted as "Kat & Bastian Duet".
The music video for the "Kat & Bastian Duet" version of "Marry Me", premiered exclusively on Facebook on March 18, 2021,[1] and later on YouTube on June 18, 2022.
Ballad
The music video for the ballad version of "Marry Me" was released on March 11, 2022. In the video, Ben Affleck makes a cameo appearance.[2]
The bed sequence of the music video has a link to an earlier Lopez music video, "Baby I Love U!" (an Affleck-inspired song), as both music videos have a bed sequence. In 'Baby I love U' she is alone in bed and looking at the camera, but in the music video for Marry Me (Ballad) she is seen in bed alongside Affleck.
Critical reception
Tomás Mier of Rolling Stone called the "Kat & Bastian Duet" version of "Marry Me" an "earnworm" and said that while the lyrics are repetitive, Lopez's "sugary vocals" and its "cinematic production" make up for it. He, however, stated that the ballad version "falls flat".[3]
