It was released on November 25, 2002, by Epic Records. Prior to its release, Lopez began a high-profile relationship with Ben Affleck and a media circus ensued. Her relationship with Affleck served as her main inspiration for the album, which is dedicated to him. Initially scheduled to be released the following year, This Is Me... Then's release date was quickly pushed forward after its lead single, "Jenny from the Block", was purposely leaked by Tommy Mottola, the head of Sony Music Entertainment.
For the album's recording, Lopez once again recruited Cory Rooney, Troy Oliver and Dan Shea, all of whom she had worked with on her previous albums. She decided to shift away from a pure dance-pop to more of an R&B and soul sound, influenced by the soul music she grew up listening to. The record's throwback material was integrated with mainstream hip hop and pop music. During its production, Lopez was influenced by the works of Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder among others. This Is Me... Then received mixed reviews from music critics. Some praised its musical direction, deeming it her strongest album to date, whilst others criticized its production and Lopez's vocal performance. The album went on to achieve commercial success, reaching number two in the United States where it has sold 2.6 million copies. It also reached the top ten in countries such as Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland. The album went to sell over 6 million copies worldwide.

Jennifer Lopez Lyrics
When I sleep
I have dreams about the way we used to kiss
About the way you used to hold me
And say nothing would ever harm me
When we first met
Oh how you charmed me
Made me smile when I was down
Big pimping around the town (you and me)
Whenever they'd see you (they'd see me)
A lover and a friend to me you were how did it end
How it hurts
To not have you in my life
When I wanted to be your wife
You never know what you have
Till it's gone, treated you wrong
For so long, now you're gone away
But the love still lives here (still)
I still got love for you (still)
After all we've been through (still)
I gave my heart to you
And baby you're the only one (the only one)
There's other men than you (still)
They can come close to you (still)
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one
A good man you were to me
Always there to care
Would do anything in this world for me
Didn't matter, what, when, or where
(You were there)
I never thought we'd part
From the arguments we'd start
When I just wanted to get some attention (sorry)
And I'm sorry baby for bitching (if I could)
Take back the words
That I said to make you leave
I'd be down on bended knees
Asking you to please forgive me
You never know what you have
Till it's gone, treated you wrong
For so long, now you're gone away
But the love still lives here (still)
I still got love for you (still)
After all we've been through (still)
I gave my heart to you
And baby you're the only one (the only one)
There's other men than you (still)
They can come close to you (still)
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one
All of the good times we had together (together)
Do they mean something to you
Do you ever wish we never split ('cause I)
Still got love for you (still)
I still got love for you (still)
After all we've been through (still)
I gave my heart to you (gave my heart to you)
And baby you're the only one (the only one)
There's other men than you (still)
They can come close to you (still)
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one (still)
I still got love for you (still)
After all we've been through (still)
I gave my heart to you
And baby you're the only one (the only one)
There's other men than you (still)
They can come close to you (still)
Once I said I love you
I knew you'd be the only one
