Jennifer Lopez has dropped the first single from her upcoming ninth album, This is me… Now (February 16), on Wednesday (January 10). The breezy, summery “Can't Get Enough” was accompanied by a cinematic Dave Meyers wedding-themed video, which appears to make veiled references to the singer's love life.
“I'm still in love with you/ You know I can't get enough/ I love this/ You know I can't get enough/ You love this,” Lopez sings in a breathy voice over the song's beachy arrangement. co-signed by Wedding shotgun starred and produced in her Los Angeles studio alongside Rogét Chahayed (Doja Cat), HitBoy (Drake) and Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman (HER). Additional composition/production on the track comes from Angel Lopez (Jack Harlow), Drew Love (G-Eazy, The Chainsmokers), INK (Beyonce) and Prince Chrishan (Meek Mill, Chris Brown).
The opulent video opens with Lopez in a daring belly-baring, thigh-baring wedding dress promising “till death do us part” to her lover (spoiler: it's not husband Ben Affleck) at a lavish, lavish wedding as a skeptic . the attendant snipe, “I told you she couldn't be alone.”
After the groom removes JLo's veil, the singer breaks into song, dancing in front of a giant fountain in a lush garden, waving her bouquet in the air as she sings, “I feel like startin' somethin'/ You got my engine running ,” while the wedding party lines up for a dance routine. The happy couple jet off in a classic white convertible, with Lopez appearing in a new white dress for the first dance, as the naysayer doubles down on a cynical bet on the pair's chances. “This guy has no chance,” says another reception attendee.
The happy couple show off their dance moves as the groom transforms into a series of different men with one onlooker quipping, “the third time's a charm,” in an apparent reference to Lopez's four marriages. “Don't touch it, it's cursed,” says one of the guests as Lopez tosses her bouquet. Cue an elaborate group dance number amid a shower of flower petals as the camera zooms in on Lopez dancing with her groomsmen. The clip ends with a nondescript JLo looking out as the unseen men complain about her defensiveness and “constant criticism.”
The video — with a story by Meyers, Lopez and Chris Shafer — will be part of the upcoming This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, a Prime Video special that debuted on February 16 and is described as “a narrative, cinematic musical odyssey, full of storytelling and mythology, humor and healing.” The special was co-written by Lopez and her husband Affleck along with Matt Walton.
