Jennifer Lopez announces new music inspired by children leaving for college

Jennifer Lopez has revealed that she is returning to the studio to channel the emotions of becoming an empty nester into new music. The 57-year-old singer described the transition of her 18-year-old twins, Max and Emme, leaving for college as “devastating, sad, and scary.”

Lopez announced that her new song, “Proof of Love,” will be released as a bonus track on a special vinyl reissue of her 2011 album, “Love?”. She described the track as an upbeat dance song that explores the duality of joy and the “pain and grief” associated with the deep attachment felt when loved ones move on to new chapters.

In addition to the new single, Lopez teased that she has written some of her best work to date for an upcoming album described as a “happy-era album” that maintains a touch of melancholy. The singer noted that her children, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, both received scholarships and were accepted into all five colleges to which they applied.
