"Hands on Me" on YouTube |
"Hands on Me" is a song by American singer Jason Derulo, featuring American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor. It was released as a single by Atlantic Records on October 13, 2023. [1] Derulo performed a medley of it with his 2020 single " Take You Dancing" at the finale of season 18 of America's Got Talent. [2] The music video for "Hands on Me" features an appearance by Paris Hilton and depicts Derulo and Trainor adapting to living on a farm.
In February 2024, the song was included on Derulo's fifth studio album Nu King. [3]
Jason Derulo and Meghan Trainor first collaborated on the track "Painkiller" from Derulo's 2015 album Everything Is 4. [4] The following year, Trainor released the song " Me Too" as a single, [5] which was co-written by Derulo. Derulo spoke fondly about the experience of collaborating with her: "She's a sweetie, she's crazy, and we got along really well. I think that song was perfect for her because it's about loving yourself and not worrying about what haters say. It's just a dope, fun song." [6] Derulo and Trainor both achieved popularity on video-sharing service TikTok in subsequent years; Derulo achieved the viral hit song " Savage Love (Laxed – Siren Beat)" (2020) while Trainor experienced commercial success with her viral TikTok hit " Made You Look" (2022).

American Songwriter's Alex Hopper wrote: "The two pop heavyweights gave [' Stand by Me'] a sultry revamp. The throwback feel of the song is in line with Trainor's doo-wop-inspired sound". [8] In a negative review, Sydney Brasil of Exclaim! stated: "Best described as horny housewife music, the track has the typical crispy Top 40 vocal production [...] Not to mention how corny its Rated PG radio-friendly randiness is. 'She was, she was, she was, she was the girl next door, that's my fine ass neighbour,' Derulo sings, diminishing his own audience's intelligence by acting like we don't know what calling a woman "the girl next door" implies. I'll be asking someone else to water my plants while I'm away, thanks." [9]
The music video for "Hands on Me" was released on December 13, 2023. Paris Hilton stars as a record label executive. In a meeting with her, Derulo tries to convince her about making country versions of classic songs, to which she replies: "Remakes are huge right now. Okay Jason, let's see it". In subsequent scenes, Derulo and Trainor perform several activities and adapt to living on a farm in a sitcom-like format. Derulo is attracted to his neighbour, and in one scene, vomits after she asks him to unclog her toilet. At the end, Hilton approves of the concept while using her catchphrases: "Loves it. That's hot". [10]
