Jennifer Lopez Creates Musical Magic with “Can’t Get Enough”
Jennifer Lopez, the multi-talented singer, and actress, has once again graced the music scene with her latest single, “Can’t Get Enough.” The 54-year-old pop sensation released the track on Wednesday, accompanied by a visually stunning music video. In a YouTube livestream leading up to the video premiere, Lopez shared insights into the creation of the song and its significance in her upcoming album, “This Is Me…Now.”
“I love a love song, but I need something that I can perform,” Lopez expressed to her fans during the livestream. Describing the energy and happiness encapsulated in “Can’t Get Enough,” she explained how the song resonated with her, making it the perfect choice to kickstart her ninth studio album.
The music video, an integral part of the release, also carries a personal touch. Lopez sought the advice of her husband, actor Ben Affleck, emphasizing the trust she places in his opinions and ideas. According to her, Affleck’s deep understanding of her story and persona played a crucial role in shaping the visual narrative for “Can’t Get Enough.”
The single is a precursor to her forthcoming album, “This Is Me…Now,” slated for release on February 16. Fans eager to dive into the full musical experience can pre-save the album, which promises to be a testament to true love and self-discovery.
During the live stream, Lopez shared, “What I wanted to tell everybody with the album… is true love actually exists.” The album, titled “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story,” will not only be available for auditory enjoyment but will also be released as a film on Prime Video on the same day. Directed by Dave Meyers (Ariana Grande, P!nk, Coldplay), the film is set to be a musical and visual reimagining of Lopez’s publicly scrutinized love life, promising to be narrative-driven, intimate, reflective, sexy, funny, fantastical, and highly entertaining.
“This Is Me…Now” marks Lopez’s return to the studio after her 2014 release, “A.K.A.”. The album pays homage to its predecessor, “This Is Me…Then,” which celebrated its 20th anniversary in November. The project delves into Lopez’s relationship with Affleck, exploring themes of love, heartbreak, and the journey back to happiness.
In a recent interview on the Golden Globes red carpet, Lopez hinted at the album’s content, stating, “It’s definitely kind of a meta-story about the journey that it takes from getting from heartbreak back to love.” She added that the album while touching on her marriage to Affleck, includes surprising elements that might catch some fans off guard.
Affleck, who also contributed to the film’s writing alongside Matt Walton, supports Lopez wholeheartedly in her artistic endeavors. Lopez, acknowledging Affleck as her biggest fan and supporter, mentioned on the Golden Globes red carpet that he sees her as an artist who expresses herself authentically.
The credits for “Can’t Get Enough” showcase a collaborative effort with producers including Rogét Chahayed (Halsey, Drake, Doja Cat), Angel López (Jack Harlow, Coldplay, Sam Smith), Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman (Camila Cabello, H.E.R., The Weeknd), and Hit-Boy (Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez). The song’s creative team also includes a mix of talented writers alongside JLo and the producers, such as Drew Love, Ink, Chrishan, Alton Ellis, and Dennis Coffey.
