During a press conference, JLo explained that she viewed her reunion with Ben as a “turning point.”

“It seemed like such an important moment in my life, kind of a turning point where as a person and as an artist, I could really look at all of the things that I was good at and the things that I felt and knew about myself and put them all into this project,” she explained , via GMA.

She added that Ben pushed her to recognize her skills in a moment of self-doubt.

“I was like, ‘I don’t write, I don’t do this,’” she recalled. “He said, ‘You do. You write, you direct, you produce, you do all the things. Start stepping into that. Start owning that a little bit. Start owning a little bit of who you are.’”
