Jennifer Lopez Isn’t Afraid to Poke Fun at Her Many Weddings in New Music Video
While it may be hard to picture Jennifer Lopez with anyone else other than Ben Affleck, the Marry Me star has actually been married three times before her 2022 occasion with Affleck. And while that may be quite a daunting number, it seems like Lopez isn’t ashamed of her wedding history, and is embracing her love for love instead in a new single.
On Jan. 10, Lopez released her brand new single “Can’t Get Enough” from her upcoming album This is Me… Now. In the accompanying music video, Lopez, who’s playing a bride, is seen tying the knot with a series of men while her friends judge her from their seats. After the ceremony, the same thing continues into the wedding party where Lopez, the grooms (including Derek Hough), and guests join in an elaborate dance number.
In her first look, Lopez dazzled in a mermaid-style figure-hugging wedding dress with two large heart-shaped cutouts in the abs and upper thighs. In the second look, Lopez shows off her legs in a white strapless mini-dress with a red rose detail around the waist.
In the lyrics, Lopez sings about finding love and thinking it’s too good to be true. “When it feels right / Nothing else matters / Is this real life?” she sings. “Too good to be true / Take me all night / I can feel the passion / In your eyes / I’m still in love with you.” Talk about a hopeless romantic!
“You know I can’t get enough (Give me all that s—),” she sings in the chorus. “Can’t get enough of you.”
At the end of the video, however, there’s a shift in tone. While eating a slice of her wedding cake, Lopez seemingly gets out of her wedding fantasy. Then, the scene cuts to her after the wedding in what appears to be a couple’s therapist’s office.
“She doesn’t listen, she thinks I’m her employee, all she cares about is work,” men’s voices say in a voiceover. “When she’s not working she’s just trying to find more work.”
“Add that to the defensiveness and the constant criticism,” the voices continue. “It’s never enough for you.”
Talking to Variety at the Golden Globes red carpet, Lopez teased her new song and talked about her long-awaited new album. “It’s definitely kind of a meta story about the journey that it takes from getting from heartbreak back to love,” she told the outlet. “I am somewhat of an expert you could say in a real way. Not so much about marriage but on weddings.”
“Again, I don’t take myself too seriously I think that life is a crazy journey where you fall down and you get back up, and you keep trying and you never give up,” she continued.
Looks like Lopez is putting all that experience to good use in the album! This is Me… Now, which was released on Feb. 16, will be accompanied by the release of its movie, This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, on Prime Video.
