Jennifer Lopez prepares new song after divorce with Ben Affleck: Will she do a Shakira?

Jennifer Lopez is wasting no time following her split from Ben Affleck and is getting back to what she does best-making music.

The multi-talented star has reportedly set her sights on creating a hit album that will reignite her music career.

Sources told Page Six Lopez is eager to deliver a "big dance hit" that brings her back to the top of the charts.

"They have reached out to songwriters," a source told Page Six. "She wants a big dance hit."

This new project is expected to be more than just a single, as the source revealed that Lopez is aiming for an entire album, saying, "She wants to get hits and put out a new album."

Moving Forward After Disappointment of This Is Me... Now

Lopez's last album, This Is Me... Now, released in February 2024, was inspired by her relationship with Affleck but failed to reach the success she had hoped for.

The album debuted at number 38 on the Billboard Top 200, falling short of the top 20. While it featured an emotional narrative tied to her personal life, critics weren't impressed.

Slate wrote that "most of the album falls short," and Pitchfork added that "the narrative threatens to, and does, overtake the music."

Lopez herself had expressed doubts about continuing her music career before the album's release, even hinting at the possibility of retirement.

"The truth is I don't even know if I'll ever make another album after this," she said. But now, it seems the star is ready for a fresh start in the music industry.

"She has had an enormous amount of hits and can't accept the last album is the end of her music career," the source explained. "She wants to wash away the stink of This Is Me... Now."

Could This Be JLo's Big Comeback?

Lopez's decision to refocus on her music comes at a time when her film career remains strong, but insiders say her heart is set on recapturing her musical glory.

"Her priority is music," one source said, adding that Lopez is determined to "prove that her music career isn't over."

As Lopez prepares for her next chapter, many are wondering if she will follow a similar path to Shakira, who turned personal heartbreak into musical success.

Lopez has multiple upcoming film projects, including two films still tied to Affleck's production company, but it's clear that her main goal is getting back in the studio and delivering the big hits her fans expect.

Only time will tell if this new album will help Lopez bounce back and once again take center stage in the world of music.
