Jennifer Lopez has announced that her album This Is Me... Now will be released in 2023.
The title recalls her 2002 album, This Is Me... Then, which featured the hit song Jenny from the Block.
That album came out on 25 November 2002, and Friday marks its 20th anniversary.
The announcement for the new album said it "chronicles the emotional, spiritual and psychological journey that she has taken over the past two decades".
It added: "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 the star's "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.
In November 2002, Lopez and Ben Affleck were engaged and planned to wed in September 2003 before the wedding was postponed.
They called off their engagement in January 2004.
Affleck and Lopez were eventually married in July 2022 at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.
On Instagram, Lopez teased a list of title tracks for her latest album including This Is Me... Now, To Be Yours, Mad in Love, Midnight Trip to Vegas and Greatest Love Story Never Told.
Lopez's last album, A.K.A., came out in 2014. Since then, she has released singles and made the film soundtrack Marry Me in 2022.
She has had four number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and two number-one albums on the Billboard 200 chart.
