Jennifer Lopez is back with her brand new single Cambia El Paso.
The singer has teamed up with Latin artist Rauw Alejandro for the summer tune, which appears to have been inspired by her split from fiancé Alex Rodriguez.
Of the track, she tells Zane Lowe on Apple Music: “It is about change and it is about taking a step. And it’s like, at once I just advance, just take one step. It doesn’t matter. Right. Left. Whatever. Take a step. When things don’t feel right. When you need to change, ‘Cambia El Paso,’ that’s it. That’s all you have to do.
“For me, it resonated, it resonated right now. So it was a great thing. Plus I also look at when it says dance, dance, dance, dance. To me because I started as a dancer. To me that represents joy, happiness life.
“After my divorce so many years ago now, but I did a song called Dance Again that I kind of took from Enrique Iglesias. That was his song. And I was like, this is my song. You have to let me do this song. And he was like, that’s my song. And I was like, please, it’s my song. I’m telling you.
“It just represents happiness to me because I love dancing so much because it’s kind of my first love, it represents joy, happiness, a freedom. And so this song is similar in that way, where it says all she wants to do is just dance, dance, dance, dance. It’s really about all she wants to do is be happy. All she wants to do is live.”
She adds: “This is a summer record. This is a dance record. This is a record about changing things. It’s the change of season. The world is changing right now. So many things. It just, it felt right. And so I love the idea of just saying to them, here it is, let’s put it out right now.”
According to a press release, the star has “more new music coming very soon”.
The new release will be Jennifer’s first single since 2020’s In The Morning. Meanwhile, it’s been seven years since she released her most recent studio album ‘A.K.A.’ in 2014
