Jennifer Lopez is back, and she’s more vulnerable than ever. The multi-hyphenate superstar has set the internet ablaze with her new musical film, This Is Me… Now: A Love Story, a surrealist, high-octane journey through her heavily publicized romantic life.
The film, which accompanies her ninth studio album, is being hailed as Lopez’s story “in her own words.” From her early days as a Fly Girl on In Living Color to her breakout role in Selena, J.Lo has always been a storyteller, but this project—inspired by her fairy-tale reunion with husband Ben Affleck—is her most ambitious yet.
While Affleck himself makes a cameo, the real stars are the songs that guide “Artist” (Lopez) through heartbreak, therapy sessions with Fat Joe, and advice from a “Zodiac Love Council” featuring stars like Jane Fonda and Keke Palmer.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok are already debating which tracks hit the hardest. We’ve done the heavy lifting and ranked every song from the film.
The Heartbreak and the Anthems
At the bottom of our list is “Broken Like Me” (No. ). While it’s the most emotionally raw ballad in the film, its slow pace feels like a bit of a comedown after the high-energy dance numbers J.Lo is known for. Similarly, the title track “This Is Me… Now” (No. ) serves as a powerful climax for her character’s self-love journey, but some fans felt the repetitive chorus and unexpected rap verse didn’t quite capture the magic of the moment.
Visual Spectacles
Things pick up with “Hearts and Flowers” (No. ), which introduces us to the “Heart Factory.” It’s surreal, steampunk, and features some of the best choreography in the movie. For those looking for a bit of nostalgia, “Hummingbird” (No. ) offers a sweet nod to Singin’ in the Rain, complete with J.Lo dancing through a downpour.
The “Bennifer” Effect
It’s no secret that Ben Affleck is the muse here. “Midnight Trip To Vegas” (No. ) serves as a cool, chill tribute to the couple’s real-life wedding. The “Bennifer” vibes continue through the end credits with tracks like “Greatest Love Story Ever Told” (No. ) and “not.going.anywhere.” (No. ), both of which give fans that classic early-s R&B sound they’ve been craving.
The upbeat “Mad In Love” (No. ) and the defiant “This Time Around” (No. ) round out the credits, with the latter addressing how the couple is handling media scrutiny differently the second time around.
The Top Two
The runner-up spot goes to “Can’t Get Enough” (No. ). In a moment that immediately went viral, J.Lo pokes fun at her own history by featuring a montage of three weddings (with grooms played by Derek Hough and Trevor Jackson) while her “friends” joke about her being “cursed.” It’s self-aware, fun, and quintessentially Lopez.
However, the gold medal goes to “Rebound” (No. ). In what is easily the film’s most striking visual, Lopez is physically bound to her partner in a glass house. As the house shatters, she cuts herself free, symbolically ending a toxic cycle. It’s powerful, catchy, and reminds us exactly why Jennifer Lopez remains a queen of the screen and the stage.
