Jennifer Lopez has announced that her album This Is Me…Now will be released in 2023.

The last album the 53-year-old pop megastar wrote and produced was This Is Me…Then, which featured hit song Jenny From The Block.

That album came out on November 25th, 2002, and Friday marks its 20th anniversary.

The announcement for the new album says it “chronicles the emotional, spiritual and psychological journey that she has taken over the past two decades”.

It adds: “An emotionally raw and honest project, unlike any she has produced before, she writes and sings about her life and experiences that will resonate with us all.”

This Is Me…Now will also explore her “tough childhood” in The Bronx, a borough of New York City, and her “unsuccessful relationships and the incredible emotional journey she has been on”.

“This album is a philosophy, a reflection, a zeitgeist moment. It’s about hope, faith and true love never dying,” the announcement also said.
