"Jenny from the Block" is a song by American singer Jennifer Lopez, which features American rappers Jadakiss and Styles P, both members of the LOX. It was released by Epic Records on September 26, 2002, as the lead single from her third studio album, This Is Me... Then (2002). The song, first leaked online, was written by Lopez, Troy Oliver, Mr. Deyo, Samuel Barnes, and Jean Claude Olivier. Cory Rooney, Olivier, Barnes, and Oliver produced the song. Another version of the track features solely Lopez, which was part of the Brazilian edition of the album. The track is an R&B and old school hip hop song which makes use of multiple music samples, including from songs such as 20th Century Steel Band's "Heen and Hell Is on Earth" (1975), Boogie Down Productions' "South Bronx" (1987), and "Hi-Jack" by Enoch Light. Lyrically, the track centers around Lopez paying homage to her roots in the Bronx and professing that fame has not changed her, while celebrating her success.
"Jenny from the Block" received polarized reviews from music critics. Some described it as "infectious" and praised its "catchiness" while others felt it was "silly" and found its message inauthentic. Lopez later opined that many had taken the song "too literally". Commercially, the song became a success, topping the charts in Canada, reaching number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 and charting within the top ten of several major music markets.
The song's controversial music video, directed by Francis Lawrence, depicts Lopez and her then-boyfriend Ben Affleck in various intimate scenes, captured from the point of view of the paparazzi and surveillance cameras. Viewed as a response to the moral panic generated by the couple's relationship, journalists noted that Lopez "flaunted" Affleck as a trophy male in the video, which was unconventional for a woman to do at the time. Affleck would later credit the video with nearly "ruining his career". Since its release, "Jenny from the Block" has been regarded as Lopez's most iconic single, and its lyrical content inspired a trend of similar songs by other artists. "Jenny from the Block" became a nickname for Lopez, who later sampled the song on "Hearts and Flowers", a track from her album This Is Me... Now (2024). Lopez has performed the song various times, including at the Super Bowl LIV halftime show in 2020 where it served as her opening number.
Background and release[edit]This Is Me... Then was scheduled to be released in November 2002. However, "Jenny from the Block" featuring rappers Jadakiss and Styles P of the LOX was leaked by a pop station in Hartford, Connecticut, and later distributed to other stations owned by Infinity Broadcasting. In response, Jennifer Lopez and Epic Records pushed forward the single's release date to September 26, the same day "Jenny from the Block" was officially sent to US radio.[1] In comparison to her previous albums, On the 6 (1999) and J.Lo (2001), Lopez had a more "hands-on" role with This Is Me... Then.[1] The album also had more of an adult-R&B sound. Musically, majority of the songs on This Is Me... Then were inspired by her relationship with then-fiancé, actor Ben Affleck.[2] The Age newspaper said the album was a "declaration" of love for Affleck.[2] During an interview, Lopez said "I wrote a lot of songs inspired, in a way, by what I was going through at the time that this album was being made, and he [Affleck] was definitely a big part of that."[3] Several critics highlighted that the album showed how "smitten" she was, and that the content was borderline "annoying".[4]
During the production of the album, Affleck and Lopez were a prominent super couple in the media, and were dubbed "Bennifer". Lopez stated "We try to make the best of it [sic] I'm not saying there's not times that we wish [we] could just be going to the movies and come out and there's not a crowd there waiting. You just want to spend your Sunday afternoon not working, but at the same time we both love what we do. If that's something that's part of it, then that's fine. We feel the love and we're very happy about it."[3] The overexposure from the media and public interest in their relationship resulted in less admiration for their work and negatively affected their careers, in particular affecting the video for "Jenny from the Block".[5][6][7]
Production and lyrical content[edit] "Jenny from the Block" (2002) A 19-second sample consisting of the chorus from "Jenny from the Block", in which Lopez professes "No matter where I go, I know where I came from."[8] Problems playing this file? See media help."Jenny from the Block" is an uptempo R&B and old school hip hop song. It was produced by Troy Oliver, written by Andre Deyo, remixed by Samuel Barnes, Jean-Claude Olivier, and contained samples by Enoch Light, Lawrence Parker, Scott Sterling and Michael Oliver. Trackmasters produced the song alongside Oliver and Cory Rooney.[8] The song's lyrical content is about Lopez maintaining her integrity and remembering her roots, despite her recent wealth and fame.[9][10][11] It differs from most of the material on This Is Me... Then, which was heily inspired by her courtship with Affleck.[12] In the song's chorus, Lopez expresses her desire to "remain simple despite her diamonds" as she sings: "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got / I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the Block."[10] The song served to rebut the notion that Lopez had "abandoned her roots"[12] or alienated her core fanbase, the Hispanic and African American communities.[13] "Jenny from the Block" was also a "celebration" of her success, with Lopez stating: "[Y]es, there’s a public image that I enjoy — I love dressing up. I love feeling glamorous. I love jewelry and beautiful things ... But I’m still that little girl who’s playing the part of a movie star, that same girl from the Bronx wearing big hoop earrings and listening to hip-hop.[12]
"Jenny from the Block" samples a number of songs. The opening line of the track, "Children grow and women producing, men go working, some go stealing, everyone's got to make a living", is derived from 20th Century Steel Band's 1975 song "Heen and Hell Is on Earth".[8] The constant flute loop through the song is an interpolation of Enoch Light's "Hi-Jack" (1975), while the bridge samples Boogie Down Productions' "South Bronx" (1986).[14] Trackmasters allegedly incorporated the sample of the Beatnuts' song "Watch Out Now" from their album A Musical Massacre (1999), which also sampled "Hi-Jack", on the track.[15] Believing Lopez and the song's producers had copied their sample of "Hi-Jack" without consent, they subsequently insulted Lopez on the song "Confused Rappers", from their album Milk Me (2004).[16][17] The group said: "Anybody familiar with our music who heard 'Jenny from the Block' knew it was a Beatnuts beat. There's no getting around it. That's a straight-up bite. It's the same drums, the same flute, the same tempo... everything is our idea. If we never flipped that sample, there would be no 'Jenny from the Block'."[18]
Critical response[edit]"Jenny from the Block" generated a polarized reception among music critics and audiences, with some applauding it as a "strong self statement" and homage to Lopez's roots, and others dismissing it as "silly".[19][20] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine called the song "infectious", but noted that it is "more like a disease than a chunky casserole".[15] Tom Sinclair of Entertainment Weekly was forable, writing: "Lopez insists that fame hasn't changed her, and seduced by the breezy pleasure of her new music, we're almost inclined to believe her".[21] Arion Berger of Rolling Stone opined that the song "is worth listening to — its windup/wind-down chorus is as sly and curvy as Lopez".[22] Complex magazine praised the inclusion of the "South Bronx" sample, writing: "What better way to connect to her roots musically than to put on for her hometown with the greatest Bronx anthem ever put to wax ...?"[14] Billboard praised the song's "sticky-on-first-listen catchiness".[23]
AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine ge the song an unforable review, calling it "silly" and describing the lyrics as "laughable".[24] James Poletti of Yahoo! Music was also negative, calling it "agonizing" and a "cynical appropriation of hip-hop culture".[25] Critical of the song's themes, AOL Radio remarked: "Yup, just your erage girl, willing to risk a national TV gig over the size of her 'dressing-room compound.'"[26] Writing for The Village Voice, Jon Caramanica was highly unforable of "Jenny from the Block", stating that "Jenny aims to fast-talk herself into authenticity".[27] Amy Sciarretto of PopCrush observed in 2012: "'Jenny From the Block' is quite a polarizing track ... Either you love the 'J. Lo' tune because it's boastful and oozes confidence or you hate it because it's cheesy and makes use of flutes."[20] Years later, Lopez opined that many had taken the song "too literally":
People are dumb enough to he thought that you meant it literally, like you were still in the ’hood, or "She’s changed, she’s different, she’s so rich now, she’s not the same." It was a huge hit at the time, so I never thought of it in any negative way. I didn’t feel like people were saying that — it’s probably better that I didn’t know.[28] Listicles for "Jenny from the Block" Publication Year Listicle Result Ref.

Music video[edit] Background and synopsis[edit]The song's accompanying music video was directed by Francis Lawrence and prominently co-stars Lopez's then-boyfriend, Ben Affleck.[50] Its themes revolve around voyeurism and the media invading Lopez's life.[51] She is like a "lab rat being constantly observed" in the video, which sought to depict the lack of privacy that comes with fame.[12][51] Lawrence came up with the video's concept and convinced Lopez to ask Affleck to appear in it. Lopez later admitted in 2024 that she would he chosen a different concept: "'Jenny from the Block' should he been me back in the Bronx kind of walking around the neighborhood."[52] The video was filmed entirely in Los Angeles from October 18–20, 2002.[53] It premiered on MTV's Total Request Live on November 5, 2002.[54]
Lopez collaborated with stylist Andrea Lieberman on her outfits for the video.

She also performs the song amid bright lights and traffic on the streets of New York City. Separate shots depict Lopez on a yacht: she sunbathes topless with friends (her breasts being blurred),[58] and after swimming in the ocean with Affleck, he kisses her buttocks and unties her bikini.[9] The couple he lunch at a restaurant and go to a gas station, where Lopez is behind the wheel while Affleck pumps up gas.[9] At several moments, the viewer is shown shots through the lens of the paparazzi and "official" media framing, before the reality is shown.[57] Affleck kneels down to find Lopez's earing, which is turned into a freeze-frame shot that suggests Affleck is proposing.[11] Lopez gets something in her eye, and the paparazzi shots make it appear as if she was in tears.[11] Lopez later visits a jewelry store, sings "Loving You" in a recording studio, and spends time with Affleck by the pool.
Reception and aftermath[edit] See also: Bennifer"Although it came from an album that was about the two of them, "Jenny From the Block" was always her song — about her life and her vision of herself. In hindsight, it was only fitting that Affleck was merely an accessory in the video. Think of all the male singers who had their girlfriends pose as eye-candy in their clips — this time, it was the guy’s turn."
—Tim Grierson of MEL magazine (2021)[12]Upon its release, the music video for "Jenny from the Block" sparked controversy and divided critics, though it has been considered iconic in retrospect.[12][53][54][59] In 2003, Rob Walker of The New York Times wrote: "If J. Lo really thinks her public might punish her for losing touch with the block, then why rub our noses in her flagrantly bejeweled lifestyle on MTV?"[60] Academic Jo Littler wrote that Lopez, as a Latin woman from the Bronx, offers "a celebration of materialist young feminism" in the song and music video: "It has long been recognised that cultures of ostentatious wealth are ways for disenfranchised people to stick two fingers up to those who held them down and back."[57] Lopez's fashion in the video, particularly the outfit she sports while standing amid New York City traffic, is considered iconic and among the singer's signature looks.[56][61][62][63] Cynthia Fuchs of PopMatters wrote that Lopez's response to negative media coverage "is admirably calculated. She meets it head-on."[58] Publications like Elle and Business Insider he ranked "Jenny from the Block" as Lopez's best music video, with the latter saying that it "stands the test of time."[64][65]
Affleck's appearance in the video became notorious, hing been released at the peak of the couple's "frenzied" tabloid coverage. Kalhan Rosenblatt of NBC News stated that the scene where Affleck kisses Lopez's "rear end" had become "enshrined in pop culture history".[66] Paper magazine wrote: "Love makes people do crazy things, and that's our only explanation for this."[67] Journalists he regarded the video as a response to the "moral panic" the couple's relationship generated, including around issues of race and gender.[9] In 2021, Affleck stated that people had written "sexist, racist, ugly vicious shit" about Lopez at the time, which "if you wrote it now, you would literally be fired".[68] Writing for The Telegraph, Helen Brown described "a confident Latin woman with a trophy white male film star on her arm" as "political", "considering this was an era when only men were encouraged to flaunt their conquests."[11] Vanity Fair critic Sonia Saraiya wrote that "Affleck is happy to be flaunted" in the video, "Lopez, meanwhile, came to girlboss culture a little early for everyone else; there was something threatening about her power."[9] Saraiya observed Lopez to be "flaunting" Affleck "in the same way she's showing off her car, her furs, her chains."[9]
Shortly after the video's premiere, Lopez and Affleck became engaged.[54] Excessive media attention surrounding the couple, and Affleck's discomfort with the media scrutiny, factored into their eventual breakup.[69][70][71][72] In 2008, Affleck said he nearly "ruined" his career by starring in the clip: "If I he a big regret, it was doing the music video. But that happened years ago. I've moved on." He also stated: "It not only makes me look like a petulant fool (to blame Lopez), but it surely qualifies as ungentlemanly? For the record, did she hurt my career? No."[73] In response, Latina magazine wrote: "Riiiigght. So it wasn't a string of bad movies starting with Reindeer Games in 2000 and a general lack of on-screen appeal that ruined your career, right Ben? It was a music video. What else can we blame on a music video? Global warming?"[74] Following Lopez's marriage to Marc Anthony, she reportedly attempted to he the music video blocked from television networks such as VH1 and MTV.[75]
Live performances[edit] Lopez performing "Jenny from the Block" during the Dance Again World Tour in 2012, where the stage was "turned into an urban New York City scene."[76]Since its release, "Jenny from the Block" has been performed during all of Lopez's concert tours and residencies as of 2025.

Impact[edit]"Jenny from the Block" is considered one of Lopez's signature songs and most iconic single.[92][93] It began a trend of songs which juxtaposed "the performer's upbringing to their celebrity status".[94] The lyrical content of country artist Faith Hill's 2005 song "Mississippi Girl" was considered to be influenced by the song; Rolling Stone described it as "country music's version" of the single,[95] and Billboard called it "a countrified 'Jenny from the Block'".[96] Other songs noted to he followed the theme of "Jenny from the Block" were Gwen Stefani's "Orange County Girl" and Fergie and Ludacris' "Glamorous".[97][98] American singer Taylor Swift described "Jenny from the Block" as her forite song as a child, one that she would sing into her hair brush in front of her mirror.[99] In 2020, while accepting an award for her series Fleabag at the 25th Critics' Choice Awards, actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge thanked Lopez for "accidentally" inspiring the show: "I decided that the priest's forite song was 'Jenny from the Block' and it opened the whole character up for me."[100]
