'''''This Is Me... Then''''' is the third studio album by American singer [[Jennifer Lopez]]. It was released on November 25, 2002, by [[Epic Records]]. Prior to its release, Lopez began a high-profile relationship with director and actor [[Ben Affleck]] and a [[media circus]] ensued. Her relationship with Affleck served as her main inspiration for the album, which is dedicated to him. Initially scheduled to be released the following year, ''This Is Me... Then''{{'}}s release date was quickly pushed forward after its lead single, the notorious "[[Jenny from the Block]]", was leaked online.

For the album's recording, Lopez once again recruited [[Cory Rooney]], [[Troy Oliver]] and [[Dan Shea (producer)|Dan Shea]], all of whom she had worked with on her previous albums. She decided to shift away from a pure [[dance-pop]] to more of a [[contemporary R&B]] and [[soul music|soul]] sound, influenced by the soul music she grew up listening to during the 1970s.The record's throwback material was integrated with mainstream [[hip-hop]] and [[pop music]]. During its production, Lopez was influenced by the works of [[Michael Jackson]], [[Luther Vandross]] and [[Stevie Wonder]] among others. ''This Is Me... Then'' received mixed reviews from music critics. Some praised its musical direction, deeming it her strongest album to date, whilst others criticized its production and Lopez's vocal performance. The album went on to achieve commercial success, peaking at two on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] and selling 2.6 million copies in the United States. Throughout its chart run, the album continued to perform strongly. Worldwide, it performed modestly, peaking within the top ten of fifteen charts. It has sold over six million copies worldwide.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1254524/Jennifer-Lopez-impersonates-Rihanna-spoof-charity-single-Saturday-Night-Live.html | location=London | work=Daily Mail | title=Jennifer Lopez impersonates Rihanna in spoof charity single on Saturday Night Live | date=March 1, 2010}}</ref>

The album's lead single, "Jenny from the Block" featuring [[Styles P]] and [[Jadakiss]] of [[The LOX]], became a worldwide hit, peaking at three in the United States. However, its release was followed by the notoriety of its music video, which featured Affleck. The single has since been used as a nickname for Lopez in the media, known as one of her signature songs. The album's second single "[[All I Have (song)|All I Have]]" featuring rapper [[LL Cool J]] was also a hit, peaking at number one in the United States. "[[I'm Glad]]", the third single, performed moderately. The single's music video was met with critical acclaim, but caused controversy for recreating scenes from the 1983 film ''[[Flashdance]]''. Sony and Lopez were sued over this, but the lawsuit was dismissed. ''This Is Me... Then'' spawned a fourth single entitled "[[Baby I Love U!]]" which failed to chart in most regions.

Prior to the release of ''This Is Me... Then'', Lopez experienced heightened commercial success in her film and music career. Following the release of her debut album ''[[On the 6]]'' (1999), which spawned the successful hit singles "[[If You Had My Love]]" and "[[Waiting for Tonight]]", Lopez has successfully crossed over from being an actress to a pop star within the space of twelve months.<ref name="club">{{cite news|title=Puff Daddy out on bail|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/579912.stm|publisher=BBC News.|accessdate=April 3, 2013|date=December 28, 1999}}</ref> Thus, joining an elite group of stars to have achieved this feat.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|date=June 12, 1999|volume= 111| issue = 24|title=International|url=http://books.google.com.au/books?id=uw0EAAAAMBAJ&source=gbs_all_issues_r&cad=1|accessdate=April 3, 2013|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.}}</ref> The entertainer went on to experience even greater success with her next studio effort ''[[J.Lo]]'' (2001), an album which allowed her to transition her image to that of a [[sex symbol]], while also developing more of a public persona.<ref name="BookJLo">{{cite book|title=Divas of the new Millennium|year=2005|page=108|url=http://books.google.com/?id=1ZGMcUEvkyEC&pg=PA104&dq=Jennifer+Lopez+if+you+had+my+love#v=onepage&q&f=false|coauthors=Stacy Deanne, Kelly Kenyatta, Natasha Lowery, Kwynn Sanders|isbn=9780974977966|author1=Deanne|first1=Stacy|last2=Kenyatta|last3=Lowery|last4=Sanders}}</ref> In February 2002, she released ''[[J to tha L-O!

In June 2002, Lopez divorced her former back-up dancer [[Cris Judd]] to pursue a relationship with [[Academy Award]] winning actor and director, [[Ben Affleck]], "[[Hollywood]]'s Golden Boy".<ref>{{cite web|title=Ben Affleck: Hollywood's Golden Boy|url=http://www.etonline.com/visitcalifornia/131101_Ben_Affleck_Hollywood_s_Golden_Boy/index.html|publisher=Entertainment Tonight Online.|accessdate=April 3, 2013|date=February 27, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Jennifer Lopez, husband Cris Judd split after 8 months of marriage|accessdate=February 2, 2012|newspaper=San Jose Mercury News|date=June 8, 2002|location=California}}</ref> That November, Affleck proposed, resulting in a higher amount of attention towards the couple.<ref>{{cite web|last=Silverman|first=Stephen|title=Ben's Proposal 'Beautiful,' Says Lopez|url=http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,624998,00.html|work=People|accessdate=October 20, 2012|date=November 11, 2002}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Williams|first=Jeanne|title=J.

Speaking of the publicity, Lopez told [[MTV News]]: "We try [to keep things private]." "I'm not saying there's not times that we wish [we] could just be going to the movies and come out and there's not a crowd there waiting. You just want to spend your Sunday afternoon not working, but at the same time we both love what we do. If that's something that's part of it, then that's fine. We feel the love and we're very happy about it," she stated. While speaking of the damage that could be caused, Lopez said: "I think [the media can cause damage] if it's not a real thing.

== Writing and recording ==
[[File:Michael Jackson in 1988.jpg|thumb|right|185px|Lopez was influenced by [[Michael Jackson]]'s ''[[Off the Wall (album)|Off the Wall]]'' (1979) while creating the album.]]
Affleck, who Lopez referred to as her "baby", was her [[muse]] when writing and recording the album. "I wrote a lot of songs inspired, in a way, by what I was going through at the time that this album was being made, and he was definitely a big part of that," she told [[MTV News]].<ref name="Muse" /> ''This Is Me... Then'' features the entertainer in a more "hands-on role", co-writing more material than on her previous albums.<ref name="Leaked">{{cite web|last=Moss|first=Corey|title=J.

Lopez wrote lyrics for the album in a small red leather diary, which she described as her "magic book". In it, she often scribbled down her thoughts and ideas.<ref name="Muse" /> The album's artwork and liner notes were modeled after this book, which would "further the feel of an intimate portrait of Lopez's soul".<ref name="RockBlock" /> "I wanted the pictures to look kind of aged, like it was a scrapbook. ... All the writing [in it] is all kinds of crazy and upside down and sideways just as it is in my book," Lopez stated.<ref name="RockBlock" /> Majority of ''This Is Me... Then'' was recorded over two weeks.<ref name="RockBlock" /> While recording, Lopez listened to a vast range of [[blues]] and [[Soul music|soul]] music, which she listened to growing up. Artists such as [[Stevie Wonder]], [[Luther Vandross]] and [[Michael Jackson]] among other had a profound influence on the album's sound. According to Lopez, she attempts to "elicit a similar feeling" in her own songwriting from these artists' songs on the album, because they made her "heart sing". Vandross and Wonder's records "just stay with you" according to Lopez, who wanted to make something that was true to her upbringing as well as her current love life.<ref name="RockBlock" />

Lopez was drawn to the "contagious" melodies of Michael Jackson's album ''[[Off the Wall (album)|Off the Wall]]'' (1979), which led her to summon the record's mixer and engineer, [[Bruce Swedien]], to work on ''This Is Me... Then''. Lopez felt that Jackson's "clear and spacious" records made her feel a "certain way". She said, "It has such a beautiful quality on it, and every time I looked at a record [I liked], it would be engineered and mixed by Bruce Swedien. I was like, 'Who is this guy? I want this guy.' So I tracked him down and he was like, 'I want to do something with her. I know exactly what she needs. I'm coming in.' And it made a huge difference."<ref name="RockBlock" />

The album's short recording period had a busy Lopez juggling her film and music careers. She relied on her long-time producer [[Cory Rooney]] to assist her with songwriting and production. Rooney was described by Lopez as "so talented", "He's really, really just dedicated to music for the pure love of music."<ref name="RockBlock" /> Speaking of the album, Rooney revealed, "This is by far the best record that I've ever worked on or done [...] In the beginning of the recording [process] she said it's important that she makes a record that is a few notches above everything else she did. She wanted to show growth musically and vocally."<ref name="RockBlock" /> Other producers Lopez worked with primarily were [[Troy Oliver]], Loren Hill and [[Dan Shea (producer)|Dan Shea]].<ref name="All">{{cite web|last=Moss|first=Corey|title=J.

The album's opening song, "Still" is built around a sample from [[Teddy Pendergrass]]' "Set Me Free", and its lyrics concern an ex-lover.

On September 26, 2002, a song entitled "[[Jenny from the Block]]" by Lopez featuring [[Styles P]] and [[Jadakiss]] of The LOX was leaked online. A pop radio station in [[Hatford]], Connecticut, later picked up the song from the internet. "Jenny from the Block" was then immediately distributed to other stations owned by [[Infinity Broadcasting]] as the album's [[lead single]].<ref name="Leaked" /> The single went on to experience international commercial success, peaking within the top ten in the United States as well as over twelve other countries.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jennifer Lopez Feat.

According to ''[[The Spectator]]'', "Before celebrities become stars, they dream about gaining fame, fortune, and being in the spotlight [...] The video is basically about how she cannot find privacy with her fiance Ben Affleck. A lot of glamour is associated with fame and fortune; however, along with that glamour comes the loss of privacy".<ref>{{cite journal|last=Ng|first=Melissa|title=The price of fame and fortune|journal=[[The Spectator]]|date=January 10, 2003|url=http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/thestar/access/444942191.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jan+10%2C+2003&author=Melissa+Ng&pub=The+Spectator&desc=The+price+of+fame+and+fortune&pqatl=google|accessdate=April 4, 2013|publisher=[[Press Holdings]]}}</ref> The music video became one of the most controversial ones in pop culture at the time.

On December 14, 2002; "All I Have" featuring rapper [[LL Cool J]] was released as the second single from ''This Is Me... Then''.<ref>http://gfa.radioandrecords.com/publishGFA/GFANextPage.asp?sDate=12/14/2002&Format=5</ref> Not only did it become the album's second consecutive top-ten single in the United States, "All I Have" became Lopez's fifth and final song to top the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.<ref name="CHH" /> The song also performed well internationally, ranking within the top ten of numerous charts.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jennifer Lopez Feat.

Laws later filed a lawsuit in 2003 against Lopez, LL Cool J and Sony Music Entertainment for "misappropriating her voice and name" in the song. More than three years later, the district court discovered that Law's music label had given Sony permission to use a 10-second sample of Law's song. The lawsuit was dropped, and Laws was advised to sue her own label and publisher for "breach of contract for entering a license agreement without her authorization".<ref>{{cite web|title=For The Record: Quick News On Katharine McPhee, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez, Tupac Shakur, Michael Jackson & More|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1532595/katharine-mcphee-getting-tasty-offers.jhtml|publisher=MTV News.

According to Lopez, she initially didn't want "Jenny from the Block" or "All I Have" to be released as singles from the album. She felt that the tracks were too similar to her previous singles such as "[[Ain't It Funny]]" and "[[I'm Real (Jennifer Lopez song)|I'm Real]]"; she felt like she was "visiting old territory". "Those tracks were like a different era for me, and I didn't want people to perceive it like I'm just trying to capitalize on the same thing. But the record company was like, 'Who cares what they think, those are hits mama!'". Lopez, who stated she "calls the shots", eventually agreed.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Vibe|date=July 2003|volume= 11| issue = 7|accessdate=July 1, 2013|publisher=Vibe Media Group|issn=1070-4701}}</ref>

However, [[Paramount Pictures]] threatened to sue Sony over copyright issues.
