The music focuses on how Lopez felt when she reunited with Affleck. And as the two made their decision to tie the knot, Jennifer felt that love had become real. As a result, the singer believes that her new album captures “this moment in time when I was reunited with the love of my life and we decided we were going to be together forever.”

And the ultimate message of Jennifer’s new album focuses on believing in true love. “The whole message of the album is, ‘This love exists. This is a real love,'” explained Lopez. “Now I think what the message of [the album] is — if you have, like me at times, lost hope, almost given up, don’t. True love does exist and some things do last forever and that’s real. I want to put that message out into the world and that does take a lot of vulnerability.”
