Jennifer Lopez confesses. She wants the world to know that she is a hopeless romantic, that her divorces and love failures were part of the learning that led her back to the arms of Ben Affleck . The singer sends her message loud and clear in This is me… now , the 65-minute musical film available on Prime Video that accompanies the release of her ninth studio album. A production that, although at first glance we take with a grain of salt due to the egocentric waste that the artist presents, ends up surprising as a ridiculously brilliant creative source .
The actress and singer plays a version of herself. A woman who dreams of finding the love of her life. And so, in This is me… now , she represents her three previous marriages as failed, toxic or wrong relationships that simply helped her recognize that what is paramount in the search for a soul mate is her self-love. Make peace with the past and love yourself above all things. Because this way true love can come. In her case, the second chance with Ben Affleck .
This is me… now is a collage of video clips that promote some of the songs from the new album and a creative vehicle for JLo's artistic brilliance but, above all, it is a song to love . To romance as a couple, the search for soul mates and the value of self-love with Ben Affleck as the main source of inspiration through the intimate letters that she wrote to the singer . However, this is not an explicit detail. They do not explain it at any point in the footage but rather Jennifer Lopez told it in the promotional campaign. But it is a relevant detail because it defines the whole idea.
