This Is About How Jennifer Grew Up In The Bronx And Wants People To Know She Is Still Real And Despite Her Fame Is Still The Same Person She Always Was. Lopez Is So Fixated With Her Hometown In This Song That She References The Bronx 28 Times.
This Features Guest Vocals By Rappers Jadakiss And Styles. Styles Began Serving An Eight-Month Jail Sentence For Assault Shortly After Shooting The Video.
This Was One Of The First Big Hits To Use A Gang Songwriting Technique, With Various Producers, Songwriters And Vocalists Contributing To A Song And Earning Writer Credits, And Others Added Because Of Samples. On "Jenny From The Block," 11 Different People Are Credited As Writers.
Lopez Starred In The Movie Maid In Manhattan When This Song Was Popular. In The Movie, Lopez Played A Maid Who Falls In Love With A Wealthy Man Who Does Not Know She Is Poor. The Sentiment Of The Movie Is Similar To This Song, As Lopez Stays True To Her Old Friends Despite A Change In Social Status.
In Addition To Her Movie, Lopez Also Released Her Own Line Of Perfume Around The Time This Was Released. It Was Called "Glow By J.Lo."
This Samples "South Bronx," A 1987 Track By Boogie Down Productions, Earning Bdp Leader Krs-One One Of The 11 Writer Credits.
This Got A Lot Of Publicity As Part Of The Media Fascination With J.Lo. She Was On Countless Magazine Covers And Constantly In The News Because Of Her Impending Marriage To Ben Affleck, Who Appears In The Video. Lopez And Affleck Never Made It To The Altar - The Couple Split Up In 2004.
