Jennifer Lopez’s long-awaited new album, This Is Me…Now, has a release date.
J. Lo’s ninth studio album will arrive on Feb. 16, 2024, through Nuyorican/BMG, she announced Monday morning (Nov. 27).
It’s the star’s first full-length solo release in nearly a decade. Her last album, 2014’s A.K.A., reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and featured Billboard Hot 100-charting singles “I Luh Ya Papi,” “First Love” and “Booty.”
This Is Me…Now is the sister album to 2002’s This Is Me…Then, which was dedicated to her partner at the time, Ben Affleck. Lopez and Affleck have since rekindled their romance, and the couple married in 2022.
The new album is written and executive produced by Lopez and Rogét Chayed, along with Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman and HitBoy. Additional songwriter-producers are Angel Lopez, Drew Love, INK and Prince Chrishan. BMG’s Brandon Riester serves as A&R.
The first single fans will hear from This Is Me…Now is titled “Can’t Get Enough,” and it’ll be here in the new year, on Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2024. “Can’t Get Enough” will mark Lopez’s first release under her recording and publishing partnership with BMG.
On the same day of Lopez’s new album release, This Is Me…Now: The Film, which has been acquired by Amazon MGM Studios, will become available globally on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories. She first teased the project over the weekend, sharing an 18-second clip with fans.
The Nuyorican Productions and Dave Meyers-directed film is described as a “narrative-driven, intimate, reflective, sexy, funny, fantastical and highly visual musical reimagining of her publicly scrutinized love life.” J. Lo’s husband Affleck appears in the writing credits with the star and Matt Walton.
Additional This Is Me…Now: The Film credits include story by Lopez, Meyers and Chris Shafer; produced by Nathan Scherrer; and executive produced by Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Benny Medina and Courtney Baxter on behalf of Nuyorican Productions.
Lopez, of course, stars in the This Is Me…Now film, and additional cast members are yet to be announced.
