Could Jennifer Lopez be stepping away from music? According to the singer, it’s a possibility.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Lopez revealed she is unsure if she will ever make another album again after her upcoming record, This Is Me…Now.
“The truth is I don’t even know if I’ll ever make another album after this,” Lopez said.
“Don’t tell Benny [Medina, her longtime manager] that that’s what I’m thinking — this might be my last album ever,” she added.
Lopez explained her new album “took a lot out of me.”
“I feel like it’s the end of a kind of an era for me and the beginning of a new one, so I would never say never, but right now I feel like I really put my heart and soul into this and I’m very excited and it definitely took a lot out of me,” she revealed.

Lopez also teased what her fans can expect from her new project.
“It’s such the kind of quintessential … Jennifer Lopez J.Lo project, and I really feel very fulfilled, so they really will be collectors’ items at a certain point,” she shared.
This Is Me…Now is Lopez’s ninth studio album and serves as a sequel to her 2002 hit album, This Is Me…Then.
This Is Me…Then produced the singles “Jenny from the Block,” “I’m Glad” and “All I Have,” the latter of which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
