1

Speaker 1: Just kiss Jennifer Lopez, Big Week Get Enough on air

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lopez. That track new music from Jennifer and timed

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: perfectly like the pro she is. As the song plays,

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: She's on the line, Jlo, how are you.

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm feeling good. I feel really excited about the new

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: album and the new film that we did.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: I'm really excited about it.

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna break down everything that people can can

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: hear and see, but just just to talk about for

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: a second, a concept of this whole project, right, Like,

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: this is something no one saw coming, right, Well.

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you want me to take it from here?

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm just curious to know how Like, it's a very

14
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: interesting thing to go, Okay, this happened back then. I

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: never saw this coming. We've lived through a lot of

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: different chapters in your life, all of us, you know,

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: seeing it so publicly and then doing this. Just I'm

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: just curious to know how your head worked and making

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: that choice to do it right.

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: So, you know, I, like you said, I made this

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: is Me then twenty two years ago now and on

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: the twentieth anniversary of that album, I announced that I

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: was doing this with me. Now, obviously you know this

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: is me then captured time of a moment in time

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: when I had first fell in love, and you know,

26
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: twenty years later, I had this kind of crazy plot

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: twist where we wound up back together and I just

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: got very inspired to make music again in the way

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: that I did back then, and so I decided to

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: make this is Me Now. I made this album. It

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: really was something that was very kind of natural and

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: organic and kind of poured out of me. It was

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: a real celebration of trying to capture this moment in time.

34
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: And when I was done with it, I realized that

35
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: that wasn't the whole story, that it wasn't quite a

36
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: fairy tale that I think everybody kind of prosceede from

37
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: the outside. That there was a lot more to the

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: story than that, and I wanted to do it in

39
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: my own artistic way, you know, tell a little bit

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: about that journey. So Dave Myers and I came up

41
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: with this idea to do the story of a hopeless

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: romantic and her journey through life and searching for love

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: and what that meant, and and.

44
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: It and but it's it's a whole Thing's that's the

45
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: whole story in a nutshell, it's a it's a very

46
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: interesting hybrid storytelling mechanic in this as well.

47
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very tricky because I didn't want to

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: make a music video and I didn't want to do

49
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: you know, it's not quite a film, but I didn't

50
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: want to do a visual album a collection of videos,

51
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: which I think is something that has become a thing

52
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: that wasn't. I wanted to do something that really told

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 2: a certain story in a way that I can kind

54
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: of combine all of the things I do, like you know,

55
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: movies and musicals and you know, myself as a you know,

56
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: recording artists, all of the things and the storytelling and

57
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: kind of find a way to do it that really

58
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: had never been done before. And I really feel like

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: we accomplished that. And again that's why I'm excited for

60
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: people to see it, because I think people are like,

61
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: what is this? You know, they see the trailer and

62
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: they're like, it looks amazing. It looks like you get it,

63
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: you get what it's about. But at the same time,

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 2: I do recognize, and I think everybody recognizes like, we've

65
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: never seen anything like this before, and you're right, you haven't.

66
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: It's something brand new, and that makes it even more

67
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: kind of exciting.

68
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: But ten so you have been you are more public

69
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: about your life and your personal life than Ben has been.

70
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: And it generally is was this like how is he

71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: adjusted to all of it?

72
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: You know, I think he very much. He's been very

73
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: encouraging of me to be who I am. I think

74
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: when you get to a certain point in your life,

75
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: you realize like, this is what this is me now

76
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: means it's bigger. It became bigger than just like a

77
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: story of like our personal life. This is not even

78
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: the story of that time. I didn't want to tell

79
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: that story. People know that story. This is really the story,

80
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: like I said, of this kind of hopeless, romantic kind

81
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: of going through life and really what the ideas of

82
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: love that we have are and kind of trying to

83
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: express that. And this is me now really is about

84
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 2: embracing who you are now.

85
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: So an observations. I know how you work, I've seen

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: you work. I know how you work hard, you take

87
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: it seriously. A lot of it's planned, it's very thoughtful.

88
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: That's your work. And then in life I feel like

89
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: you have this other thing where you can actually sort

90
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: of roll with the unplanned and roll with the punges.

91
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: Is there a dichotomy there?

92
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I mean you have to, right, there's a part

93
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: of you. Like somebody asked me the other day, what's

94
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 2: your superpower? And I was like, stay calm like that.

95
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 2: But you know, you have to kind of like in

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: the chaos of what this life can be. And you

97
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: know what it is.

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: It's the traveling, it's dealing with lots of different people.

99
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: It's the you know, the schedules and the workload and

100
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 3: you know, the hours and all that kind of stuff.

101
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: You have to kind of learn how to really calm

102
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: yourself and stay calm within that. And you know what

103
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: I hope with this album and with this and with

104
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: this project is that you know, people are entertained number one,

105
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: but are also inspired and it also gives them hope.

106
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 3: You know.

107
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 2: That's for me, putting out that type of love into

108
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: the world is part of who I am. That's how

109
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: I show up in the world. And I think if

110
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 2: I can be my most authentic self, and you know,

111
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: it kind of gives everybody else permission to be like, well.

112
