American singer Jennifer Lopez is coming full circle with the announcement of her new album!

Twenty years to the day of the release of This Is Me…Then, the Jenny from the Block singer, 53, has announced a new album, This Is Me…Now.

The star, whose social media went dark in the days leading up to her big reveal, announced the news herself early this morning (November 25).

In a short clip that shows Lopez recreating the cover of the 2002 album and then transforming into 2022 J.Lo, she wrote on Instagram, “This is me then, this is me now.”

In celebration, the actress and singer has recreated the original album cover for 2022.

The Marry Me star’s new project “chronicles the emotional, spiritual and psychological journey that she has taken over the past two decades,” according to a press release.

 The announcement comes on the heels of her marriage to Ben Affleck, to whom the earlier album was dedicated.

The 13 songs include the title track as well as various entries that allude to her relationship with the actor, including Dear Ben Pt. II and Midnight Trip to Vegas, which references the couple’s first marriage ceremony in July.

Lopez’s ninth studio album marks her return to writing and producing, and showcases “a vulnerability never” shown before, while merging her powerhouse vocals with both confessional songs and upbeat “celebrations of love,” the release said.

“This album is a philosophy, a reflection, a zeitgeist moment,” according to the release.

“It’s about hope, faith and true love never dying.”

Lopez has previously called her 2002 effort her “favourite album”.

Last year, she posted a fun throwback post in honour of the project – which was charting on iTunes and Pop iTunes at the time – that featured footage from several of her iconic music videos from the album, including Jenny from the Block, All I Have, I’m Glad and Baby I Love U!

“All of my albums are very special to me, but This Is Me … Then is my favourite album I’ve ever done … so far!” Lopez shared in the video.
