Jennifer Lopez, the popular singer, actress, and performer, has once again taken the music world by storm with the release of her latest album titled This Is Me… Now. After a hiatus of nine years, Lopez has returned with a powerful and introspective body of work that serves as a sequel to her critically acclaimed 2002 album, This Is Me… Then. One of the most intriguing aspects of This Is Me… Now is Lopez’s candid exploration of her relationship with actor Ben Affleck.
Despite their much-publicised breakup in 2004, the album suggests that their love story continued to evolve over the years, culminating in their rekindled romance and eventual marriage in July 2022.
The track Greatest Love Story Never Told offers an emotional reflection on Lopez’s relationship with Affleck, hinting at a love that was kept hidden from the world for two decades. Lopez sings passionately about their enduring connection, suggesting that their love story could have been one of the greatest if it had remained untold.
Another thing that her fans have noticed is that Lopez delves into the physical aspect of their relationship, describing their powerful chemistry and intimate moments together.
She sings, “Different roads, two lost souls / Never thought we’d find our way back / Could’ve lost what matters most / How could I live with that? / Missing your body climbing on top of me, slippin’ inside of me / The way that I ride it, bodies aligning, look at our timing / I forget about the world when we’re alone / Only thing that ever felt like home."

In Dear Ben, Pt. II, Lopez revisits the theme of her love for Affleck, expressing her deep admiration and appreciation for him. The song serves as a sequel to the original Dear Ben from her earlier album, reaffirming the enduring nature of their bond. Lopez’s lyrics paint a vivid picture of the love and support Affleck has provided her throughout the years, highlighting the impact he has had on her life.
Lopez’s decision to revisit her past with Affleck in her music is particularly timely, as it coincides with the release of her new film, which explores similar themes of love and relationships. The film, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, features music from This Is Me… Now and offers audiences a deeper insight into Lopez’s personal journey.
