"A narrative-driven, intimate, reflective, sexy, funny, fantastical and highly entertaining musical and visual reimagining of her publicly scrutinised love life," is how the Dave Meyers-directed movie is described. "This Is Me...Now," like its sister album, makes references to Jennifer Lopez's romance with actor Ben Affleck. The track list was revealed in November 2022 and includes the title "Dear Ben Pt.
