According to an insider quoted by <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Page Six<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Lopez has been actively reaching out to songwriters in search of her next big success, signaling a renewed commitment to her music career after the lukewarm reception of her last album, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This Is Me\u2026 Now<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jennifer Lopez to refocus on her music career:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The album, which was released in February and heavily inspired by her relationship with Affleck, failed to meet commercial expectations, debuting at number 38 on the Billboard 200 chart. Critics were largely underwhelmed, with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Slate<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> stating that most of the album fell short, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pitchfork<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> remarking that the personal narrative behind the project overshadowed the music itself. Despite earlier hints that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This Is Me\u2026 Now<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> could be her final album, Lopez is reportedly not ready to walk away from her music career just yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cShe wants a big dance hit,\u201d the insider told <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Page Six<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, noting that Lopez is aiming for a full album of chart-topping tracks rather than a single standout. As per the insider she is priortizing her music and she will not do it unless it\u2019s big. The source also told that Jennifer is looking to \u201cwash away the stink\u201d of her last album and reclaim her position as a dominant force in the music industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite branching out into acting and other ventures, music remains at the forefront of Lopez\u2019s career aspirations. The insider noted that she cannot accept <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This Is Me\u2026 Now<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as her final statement in the music industry. As Lopez reportedly begins work on her new album, fans and critics alike are watching to see whether she can reclaim her hitmaker status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With her next project likely to be centered around high-energy dance tracks, Lopez\u2019s new direction could mark a return to the sound that made her a household name. If successful, her comeback would solidify her place in the industry and show that even after decades in the spotlight, she still has what it takes to dominate the charts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cShe wants a big dance hit,\u201d the insider told Page Six, noting that Lopez is aiming for a full album of chart-topping tracks rather than a single standout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":433,"featured_media":57149,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[1876,980,195],"class_list":["post-57142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-ben-affleck","tag-billboard","tag-jennifer-lopez"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/433"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57142"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57142\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
