Her first regular high profile gig was as a โfly girlโ dancer on the television comedy program In Living Color in 1990 after being twice rejected.

Lopezโs debut album On The 6, a reference to the 6 subway line she used to take growing up in Castle Hill was released on June 1, 1999, and reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. The album featured the Billboard Hot 100 number-one lead single, โIf You Had My Loveโ as well as the top ten hit โWaiting for Tonightโ.

Lopezโs second album, J.Lo, was released on January 23, 2001 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. When her film The Wedding Planner achieved number one shortly after, Lopez become the first actress-singer to have a film and an album at number one in the same week. The lead single, โLove Donโt Cost a Thingโ, was her first number-one single in the United Kingdom and took her into the top five on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. She followed it up with โPlayโ which gave her another top twenty hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number three in the UK. Her next two singles were โIโm Realโ and โAinโt It Funnyโ which were quickly rising up the charts. To capitalize on this, Lopez asked The Inc. Records (then known as Murder Inc.) to remix both songs, which featured rap artists Ja Rule (on both) and Caddillac Tah (on the โAinโt It Funnyโ remix). Both remixes reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for several weeks. She re-released J. Lo on her thirty-second birthday with the remix of โIโm Realโ as a bonus track. Also, โSi Ya Se Acabรณโ was released in Spain, due to the success of โQue Ironiaโ.
Following the success of the re-release of J. Lo, Lopez decided to devote an entire album to the remixing effort, releasing J to tha L-O! The Remixes, on February 5, 2002. This album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first remix album in history to debut at the top on the chart. Featured artists on J to tha L-O! The Remixes included P. Diddy, Fat Joe, and 50 Cent and the album included rare dance and hip hop remixes of past singles. It is the third all-time biggest-selling remix album in the world, after Michael Jacksonโs Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix (1997) and Madonnaโs You Can Dance (1987).
On November 26, 2002, Lopez released her third studio album, This Is Meโฆ Then, which reached number two on the Billboard 200 and spawned four singles: โJenny from the Blockโ (featuring Jadakiss and Styles), which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100; โAll I Haveโ (featuring LL Cool J), which spent multiple weeks at number one; โIโm Gladโ; and โBaby I Love U!โ. The album included a cover of Carly Simonโs 1978 โYou Belong to Meโ.
After a year away from the music scene, Lopez released her fourth studio album, Rebirth, on March 1, 2005. Although debuting and peaking at number two on the Billboard 200, the album quickly fell off the charts. It spawned the hit โGet Rightโ, which reached the top fifteen in the U.S. and became her second Platinum hit (after โIf You Had My Loveโ). โGet Rightโ was also successful in the UK, becoming her second number-one single there. The second single, โHold You Downโ, which featured Fat Joe, reached number sixty-four on the U.S. Hot 100; it peaked at number six in the UK and ascended to the top twenty in Australia. Another song, โCherry Pieโ, was slated for a release in late 2005, but the plans to make a video were cancelled as the album sales were definitely too weak and the promotion budget exceeded. It was released to radio stations in Spain. Rebirth was certified Platinum in the U.S. by the RIAA. Lopez was then featured on LL Cool Jโs single โControl Myselfโ, which was released on February 1, 2006. It reached number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the UK Singles Chart. It was Lopezโs first U.S. top ten hit in three years.

The lead single, โQuรฉ Hicisteโ (Spanish for โWhat Did You Doโ), was officially released to radio stations in January 2007. Since then, it has peaked at eighty-six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot Latin Songs and the Hot Dance Club Play. It also went top ten on the European chart.

People told me,
I should write a love song
"Girl you sound so angry,
You could use some variation"
But I'm lonely
Negative relations
I've been hurt so many times
I don't have the patience
But I've wished for so long
For someone to come and show me
Lead by example
'Cause I've been waiting
I've tried every age
I'm so tired of the game
I wanna be somebody's girl
Would you show me the way?
What if I never find and I'm left behind?
Should I keep hoping for love?
What if I'm still the same?
Status doesn't change?
Gotta keep hoping for love
What is love?

What is love?
I've had blind dates
Hooked up with some real flakes
I've gone out with church boys
Musician's are the worst
I've tried so hard
'Cause I'm just so die hard
Tried my best to play the part
Wish you could see inside
But I've wished for so long
For someone to come and show me
Lead by example
'Cause I've been waiting
I've tried every age
I'm so tired of the game
I wanna be somebody's girl
Would you show me the way?

People told me,
I should write a love song
"Girl you sound so angry,
You could use some variation"
But I'm lonely
Negative relations
I've been hurt so many times
I don't have the patience
But I've wished for so long
For someone to come and show me
Lead by example
'Cause I've been waiting
I've tried every age
I'm so tired of the game
I wanna be somebody's girl
Would you show me the way?
What if I never find and I'm left behind?
Should I keep hoping for love?
What if I'm still the same?
Status doesn't change?
Gotta keep hoping for love
What is love?
What is love?
What is love?
Somebody show me
What is love?
What is love?
What is love?
'Cause if you told me
What is love?
What is love?
What is love?
I wouldn't be lonely
What is love?
Please show me
What is love?
I've had blind dates
Hooked up with some real flakes
I've gone out with church boys
Musician's are the worst
I've tried so hard
'Cause I'm just so die hard
Tried my best to play the part
Wish you could see inside
But I've wished for so long
For someone to come and show me
Lead by example
'Cause I've been waiting
I've tried every age
I'm so tired of the game
I wanna be somebody's girl
Would you show me the way?
What if I never find and I'm left behind?
Should I keep hoping for love?
What if I'm still the same?
Status doesn't change?
Gotta keep hoping for love
What is love?
What is love?
What is love?
Somebody show me
What is love?
What is love?
What is love?
'Cause if you told me
What is love?
What is love?
What is love?
I wouldn't be lonely
What is love?
Please show me

I've been alone
For the past three years
On Valentine's Day
Christmas is no exception
Birthday's with naughty presents
Been back and forth, same action
I just need this to happen
I'll be singing love's praises
If you would show me
What if I never find and I'm left behind?
Should I keep hoping for love?
What if I'm still the same?
Status doesn't change?
Gotta keep hoping for love

The song "What Is Love" by Jennifer Lopez is about the struggles the artist has faced with finding true love. The song is a reflection of the loneliness she has experienced despite her fame and success. JLoโs lyrics express for a longing to understand what love truly means and what it takes to achieve it. The artist has gone through various forms of relationships which have sometimes been negative, and this has caused a lot of hurt in her life. Despite her challenges, Lopez remains optimistic and keeps hoping for the day when someone will show her what love is and lead her to true happiness.
Through this song, Jennifer Lopez expresses her vulnerability โ something that is often overlooked about people who appear to have it all. Despite her wealth and fame, she is searching for what everyone is searching for, true love. The use of repetition in the song such as the line "What is Love?" is intentional in that it emphasizes the artist's eagerness and desperation to understand this abstract concept left blurry by her past experiences. The song ends with the artist still searching for that elusive emotion, but still has hope that love can still find her.
In conclusion, "What Is Love" is a heartfelt song that will resonate with anyone who has gone through a tough time finding happiness and contentment in their relationships. It speaks to the vulnerability that comes with seeking something that seemingly should come easy, but does not always do.

People told me,
Others have suggested that I write a love song

Despite all of this, I still yearn for love
For someone to come and show me
I hope that someone will come and guide me through this process
Lead by example
I want to learn from someone who has experienced real love
'Cause I've been waiting
I've been waiting for a long time
I've tried every age
I have dated a variety of people

I wanna be somebody's girl
Ultimately, I just want to be loved

"I've had blind dates
I've gone on blind dates before
Hooked up with some real flakes
But they didn't go well, and I ended up with some bad partners
I've gone out with church boys
I tried dating someone who was religious
Musician's are the worst
I even dated musicians, but that didn't work out well either
I'm just so die hard
Despite these failures, I am still committed to finding love
Tried my best to play the part
I've done everything I can to be a good partner
Wish you could see inside
I wish that someone could truly understand me
I've been alone
For several years now, I've been on my own
For the past three years
Specifically, it's been three years
On Valentine's Day
Even on a holiday intended for love, I am alone
Christmas is no exception
The same is true during Christmas
Birthday's with naughty presents
My birthday gifts have been unfulfilling
Been back and forth, same action
I've been in this cycle for a while now
I just need this to happen
All I want is to find true love
I'll be singing love's praises
And if it happens, I will be very happy
Na na na na
Instrumental
Please show me
Again, I am begging someone to show me what love really is

It is time to repent!
It is time to BORN AGAIN!
It is time to reject all sins!
it is time to pick up your cross and follow the one who redeems your soul.
This world serves BAAL, why you want to do the same?
Are your eyes still blind, that you see not, all the idols of yours are showing off freemasonry hand signs?, neither do you see the clear signs of being inverted? Publicly known as being trans. All the idols of yours, you hear them as a deaf or actually taking a listen?
GOD โ the creator exist and god of this world exist also.
One redeems, the other deceives. Between these 2 a choosing is to make, WHOM SHALL WE SERVE?
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to recordย thisย dayย againstย you, that I have set beforeย youย life and death, blessing and cursing: thereforeย chooseย life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil untoย youย to serve the LORD,ย chooseย youย thisย dayย whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
To the lgbtq++++:
the lgbtq++ club/cult became to be, because of the masons depopulation agendas. search about them. Judge based on knowledge not based on feelings. feelings lie, humans understandings are false. opinions useless. TRUTH alone is what always stays mattering.

Love is life, and life is living
It's very special
Baby, don't go
Baby, don't go
Baby, don't go
Baby, don't go
Baby, don't go
Baby, don't go
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah
It's such a shame but I'm leaving
Can't take the way you're mistreating me
And it's crazy, but oh baby
It don't matter, whatever
Don't phase me
I don't believe you wanna leave like this
I don't believe I just had my last real kiss
I do believe we'll laugh and reminisce
Wait a minute, don't bounce baby
Let's talk about this, man
Well I'm bouncin' and I'm out son
I gotta leave you alone
'Cause I'm good
Holdin' down my spot
And I'm good
Reppin' the girls on the block
And I'm good
I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right
All my pride is all I have
Pride is what you had, baby girl I'm what you have
You'll be needing me but too bad
Be easy, don't make decisions while you're mad
The path you chose to run alone
I know you're independent, you can make it on your own
Here with me you had a home (Oh yeah)
But time is of the essence, why spend it alone
The nights I waited up for you (Oh boy)
Promises you made about coming through
So much time you wasted
That's why I had to replace you
It makes a cat nervous, the thought of settling down
Especially me, I was creepin' all over town
Thought my tender touch could lock you down
I knew I had you, as cocky as it sounds
The way you used to giggle right before I put it down
It's better when you're angry, come here I'll prove it now (Come here)
Stop playing
You gaming
I gotta leave you alone
'Cause I'm good
Holdin' down my spot
And I'm good
Reppin' the girls on the block
And I'm good
I got this thing on lock
So without me you'll be fine, right
All my pride is all I have
Pride is what you had, baby girl I'm what you have
You'll be needing me but too bad
Be easy, don't make decisions while you're mad
The path you chose to run alone
I know you're independent, you can make it on your own
Here with me you had a home (Oh yeah)
But time is of the essence, why spend it alone
People make mistakes to make up, to break up, to wake up
Cold and lonely, chill baby, you know me
You love me, I'm like your homie
Instead of beefin', come hold me
I promise I'm not a phony
Don't bounce baby, console me
Come here
Ain't nothing you can say to me
That can change my mind
I gotta let you go now
And nothing will ever be the same
So just be on your way
Go head and do your thing now
And there's no more to explain to me, you know
I know your game, I'm not feeling what you do
So I'm bouncing and I'm out son
I gotta leave you alone
Yeah, yeah
All my pride is all I have
Pride is what you had, baby girl I'm what you have
You'll be needing me but too bad
Be easy, don't make decisions while you're mad
The path you chose to run alone
I know you're independent, you can make it on your own
Here with me you had a home (Oh yeah)
But time is of the essence, why spend it alone
All my pride is all I have
Pride is what you had, baby girl I'm what you have
You'll be needing me but too bad
Be easy, don't make decisions while you're mad
The path you chose to run alone
I know you're independent, you can make it on your own
Here with me you had a home (Oh yeah)
But time is of the essence, why spend it alone

Your pride is what you had, baby girl, I'm what you had
