Taking to her Instagram handle, Lopez shared her transformation video and mentioned, "This is me then, this is me now." She also released a list of 13 songs, which included Dear Ben pt. II and Midnight Trip to Vegas, both in connection to her husband Ben Affleck. Take a look. 

According to People, a press release on her project states, "This album is a philosophy, a reflection, a zeitgeist moment. It's about hope, faith and true love never dying." This Is Me… Now will be released in 2023, almost a decade after Lopez's last 2014 album A.K.A. 

Talking about her album earlier this month, Lopez told Vogue that it'll be a "culmination of who I am as a person and an artist." 

She said, "People think they know things about what happened to me along the way, the men I was with — but they really have no idea, and a lot of times they get it so wrong. There's a part of me that was hiding a side of myself from everyone. And I feel like I'm at a place in my life, finally, where I have something to say about it."

In the meantime, Lopez dropped a couple of singles including Dinero featuring Cardi B and DJ Khaled, Pa Ti with Maluma as well as On My Way (Marry Me), which came as a part of her own film Marry Me.
