This Is Me… now serves as a follow-up to J.Lo's 2004 album

'This Is Me… Then', including her hit 'Jenny From the Block'. Affleck's appearance in the music video for that song suggests that “Then” was largely inspired by their initial relationship, a theme that “Now” also explores, along with their reconciliation.
