Lopez released “Can’t Get Enough” with itsaccompanying music videoon Wednesday.
The two-time Grammy nominated artist spoke to fans about the song and how its release came together in a YouTube live stream ahead of the video premiere. “I love a love song, but I need something — and I kept saying this to them — that I can perform,” she said of “Can’t Get Enough.”
“So when we first heard this song, everyone just knew that this was the one to launchThis Is Me…Now,” added the performer. “It has an energy, it has a happiness to it, and you feel it all.”
For the single’s music video, Lopez sought advice from her husband,Ben Affleck. “Not that he’s ever really made videos or anything like that, but I just trust his opinion and his ideas,” she explained. “Nobody kind of knows my story or me more than he does. I really feel like he gets me and he understands me, obviously.”
She added: “All of you have been following my journey, and I think you’ve seen me. What I wanted to tell everybody with the album… is true love actually exists.”
