2014年4月，美國(guó)20世紀(jì)福克斯公司發(fā)行了動(dòng)畫(huà)片《里約大冒險(xiǎn)2》(Rio 2)，影片講述藍(lán)金剛鸚鵡Blu和Jewel為了尋找同類，帶著三個(gè)孩子舉家遷往險(xiǎn)象叢生的亞馬遜森林，在那里遭遇了一系列意想不到的事情。這部制作精良的動(dòng)畫(huà)片續(xù)集上映之后便獲得了很好的反響和評(píng)價(jià)。該電影的主題曲 “What Is Love”也深受大眾喜愛(ài)。

歌曲歡快的桑巴舞曲風(fēng)格讓人不由地對(duì)動(dòng)畫(huà)片里那個(gè)熱情而奔放的地方——巴西——充滿向往和幻想。歌曲的演唱者是出生于美國(guó)堪薩斯州的黑人女歌手Janelle Monáe，她用富有磁性而又俏皮的嗓音完美演繹了這首具有異域風(fēng)情的歌曲。歌曲所表達(dá)的“愛(ài)”的主題也與動(dòng)畫(huà)片的主題相契合。愛(ài)有很多種，可以是親人間的守護(hù)與付出，一如鸚鵡Blu為守護(hù)家族中的每一個(gè)人爆發(fā)出了驚人的勇氣和力量；愛(ài)也可以跨越族群，正如影片中鳥(niǎo)類學(xué)家Tulio和Linda不惜一切保護(hù)鳥(niǎo)類；愛(ài)也意味著人類對(duì)于自然、對(duì)于動(dòng)物的尊重和敬畏，正如影片傳達(dá)的“保護(hù)自然，維護(hù)生態(tài)平衡”的深刻主題一樣。

世界如果沒(méi)有愛(ài)，就會(huì)剎那間失去所有光彩。我們?cè)趷?ài)的呵護(hù)中成長(zhǎng)、成熟，也把同樣美好的愛(ài)傳播出去，愛(ài)著這個(gè)七彩的世界。正如這首主題曲和電影所表達(dá)的那樣，因?yàn)橛幸刈o(hù)的人和事物，因?yàn)樾闹杏袗?ài)，一切才有了意義。Oh~~ yeah~~

What is love

If it's not with you.

I know when you're alone you feel it too.

In your arms is where I long to be，

'Cause being with you gives me sanity.

Oh~~ Listen to me darling.

I wake up every morning，

Thinking about the way you feel.

Oh~~ I wonder if you know it.

And what good is the party

If you're not around.

Listen to me now.

▲What good is love

If it's not your love. ▲

What is a song

If you can't hear it too.

Can't imagine dancing without you.

A shooting star， ain't really nothing to see.

In the brightest night， be nice to me.

Oh~~ Listen to me darling.

I wake up every morning，

Thinking about the way you feel.

Oh~~ I wonder if you know it.

And what good is the party

If you're not around.

Listen to me now.

What's the song

What's the word

If it's not with you

If it's not with you.

You can't hear it too.

I know when you are alone，

You've got to feel it too.

Oh~~ yeah~~

Oh~~ yeah~~

What is love.

Listen to me darling.

What is love

If it's not with you.
