Jennifer Lynn Lopez(born July 24, 1969), also
known as J.Lo, is an American singer, actress, and dancer. In 1991, she began
appearing as a Fly
Girl dancer on In Living Color, where
she remained a regular until she decided to pursue an acting career in 1993. For
her first leading role in Selena(1997),
she became the first Latin actress to earn
over US$1 million for a film. She went on to star in Anaconda(1997)
and Out of Sight(1998),
and established herself as the highest-paid Latin actress in Hollywood.
Lopez ventured into the music industry with
her debut studio album On the 6(1999),
which helped propel the Latin pop movement in American music, and later starred in the psychological horror The Cell(2000). With
the simultaneous release of her second studio album J.Lo and her
romantic comedy The Wedding
Planner in 2001, she became the first woman
to have a number-one album and film in the same week. Her 2002 release, J to tha L–O!
The Remixes, became the first remix album in
history to debut atop the US Billboard 200.
Later that year, she released her third studio album, This Is Me... Then and starred in the film Maid in Manhattan.
After starring in Gigli(2003), a critical and
commercial failure, Lopez starred in the successful romantic comedies Shall We Dance?(2004)
and Monster-in-Law(2005).
Her fifth studio album, Como Ama una Mujer(2007),
had the highest first week sales for a debut Spanish album in the United
States. Following a relatively unsuccessful period, she returned to prominence
in 2011 with her appearance as a judge on American Idol and released her seventh studio album, Love?. From 2016 to 2018, she
starred in the police drama series Shades of
Blue and performed a residency show, Jennifer
Lopez: All I Have, at Planet
Hollywood Las Vegas. She also produced and served as
a judge on World of
Dance(2017–2020). In 2019, she garnered critical
acclaim for her performance as a stripper in the crime drama Hustlers.
Lopez is considered a pop culture icon, and is
often described as a triple threat
entertainer. With a cumulative film gross of
US$3.1 billion and estimated global sales of 70 million records, she is
considered the most influential Latin entertainer in North America. In 2012, Forbes ranked her the
world's most powerful celebrity, and the 38th most powerful woman in the world.
Time listed her
among their 100 most influential people in the world in 2018. Her most successful singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 include "If You Had My Love",
"I'm Real",
"Ain't It
Funny", "All I Have",
and "On the Floor". For
her contributions to the recording industry, she has a landmark star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame, and has received the Billboard Icon
Award and the Michael
Jackson Video Vanguard Award, among
other honors. Her other ventures include beauty and clothing lines, fragrances,
a production
company, and a charitable
foundation.
J.Lo is the second studio album by
American singer Jennifer Lopez. It was
released on January 16, 2001, by Epic Records.
Lopez began recording the album in April 2000, enlisting producers such as Cory Rooney, Troy Oliver, Dan Shea and Sean Combs, all of
whom she had worked with on her debut album On the 6(1999).
The album's title refers to the nickname given to her by fans, with
Lopez describing it as an homage to her supporters. Drawing from her own
experiences, Lopez included more personal songs on this album, which deals with
themes of relationships, empowerment and sex.
J.Lo is a primarily dance-pop, Latin and R&B album which
encompasses Latin pop, retro and contemporary pop.
Upon
its release, the album received generally mixed reviews from music critics, who
criticized its manufactured sound, while praising its Spanish and dance
material. Commercially, J.Lo debuted atop the US Billboard 200 the same week as her film The Wedding
Planner opened at number one at the domestic
box office The
album was certified quadruple platinum in the United States, making it her highest-selling to date, and
became the sixth most successful album of the year worldwide.
"Love Don't
Cost a Thing" was released as the
album's lead single on November 20, 2000, reaching number 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the UK Singles Chart.
The album's second
single, "Play", reached the top twenty in most
countries, including the United Kingdom where it reached number three. "I'm Real" was
serviced to radio as the album's third on June 19, 2001. To
further its success, record executives at Epic recruited Ja Rule of Murder Inc Records to create a remix of the song, "I'm Real (Murder Remix)".
The remix, which featured Ja Rule, shifted Lopez's musical style from pop to a
more hip hop and
urban-oriented sound. It was the number one song in the United States at the
time of the September 11
attacks for five non-consecutive weeks. "Ain't It
Funny" was released as the album's fourth and final single on
June 20, 2001. The album has sold over 8 million copies worldwide.
Think you gotta keep
me iced (You don't)
Think I'm gonna spend your cash (I won't)
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz (I don't)
If I wanna floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
When you rolled up in
the Escalade
Saw that truck you gave to the valet
Knew that it was game when you looked at me
Pulling up your sleeve so I could see the Rolley bling
Saw you later in the corner booth
Raising up a toast so I would notice you
But your heart's a mess
Think you outta know
Doesn't matter if you're balling out of control
All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can't buy yeah
Think you gotta keep
me iced (You don't)
Think I'm gonna spend your cash (I won't)
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz (I don't)
If I wanna floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
When I took a chance
Thought you'd understand
Baby credit cards aren't romance
So you're tryna buy what's already yours
What I need from is not available in stores
Seen a side of you that I really feel
Doing way too much, never keep it real
If it doesn't change, gotta hit the road
Now I'm leaving, where's my keys?
I've got to go
All that matters is
That you treat me right
Give me all the things I need
That money can't buy yeah
Think you gotta keep
me iced (You don't)
Think I'm gonna spend your cash (I won't)
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz (I don't)
If I wanna floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
A thing, a thing, a
thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You think the money that you make
Can substitute the time you take
Take the keys here to my heart
Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart
I think you need to take some time
To show me that your love is true
There's more than dollar signs in you
Then you can win my heart, and get what's in my heart
Think you gotta keep
me iced (You don't)
Think I'm gonna spend your cash (I won't)
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz (I don't)
If I wanna floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think you gotta keep
me iced (You don't)
Think I'm gonna spend your cash (I won't)
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz (I don't)
If I wanna floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think you gotta keep me iced (You don't)
Think I'm gonna spend your cash (I won't)
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing
Think I wanna drive your Benz (I don't)
If I wanna floss I got my own
Even if you were broke
My love don't cost a thing.
