Jennifer Lopez Looking For ‘Proof of Love’ on New Bonus Track From ‘Love?’ Vinyl Reissue

Jennifer Lopez is gearing up to celebrate the 15th anniversary of her seventh studio album, Love?, with the LP’s first-ever vinyl release. The rebooted set, which will come in three different collectible editions, will also feature the new dance song “Proof of Love.”

Lopez told Variety that she was inspired to write and record the new song after her twins, Max and Emme (who recently changed their name to Oskar), left for college this fall. “They take up such a big part of your brain for so long, and when they’re gone, which is devastating and sad and scary, you’re facing a life that’s totally different now, and you’re like, ‘What am I going to do with this space and this time?’ For me, I just went back in the studio,” she said. “I’ve written some of the best songs that I’ve ever written, and I’m really excited. It’s a very happy era album. It’s some of the most joyous, beautiful songs that have just a tad of a tear in them.”

The 2011 release, inspired by the birth of the twins with Lopez’ ex-husband, singer Marc Anthony, featured the global Billboard Hot 100 No. 3 hit “On the Floor” featuring Pitbull, as well as the fan favorites “I’m Into You” (feat. Lil Wayne) and “Papi.”

Lopez told Variety that the new track is ” a beautiful song about this kind of duality. It’s this happy dance song, and these are the things that are the proof of love. One of them is pain and grief when someone’s gone. You feel pain and grief. That’s really proof of love. I wanted to make that a happy thing. I wanted to make that a marker instead of this devastating thing.”

Fans can pre-order the three vinyl editions now, which will include the standard 12-track version featuring “Proof of Love,” a deluxe 2LP edition with 17 tracks on translucent royal blue vinyl, the new single, new artwork and five additional album tracks: “Hypnotico,” “Everybody’s Girl,” “Charge Me Up,” “Take Care” and “On the Floor (Ven a Bailar).”

The Love? color vinyl BILT exclusive edition comes on cherry red vinyl, with all three due out in November on an as-yet-unannounced date.

In the meantime, Lopez is gearing up for The JLo Show: Live in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving night (Nov. 26) which will air at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
