Jennifer Lopez seems to be giving a very clear message in her new music video — but is it what it seems??
In El Anillo (that’s “The Ring” in English), the Latina queen reigns, singing lyrics like “Where’s the ring?” But is she singing directly to boyfriend Alex Rodriguez?

Along with sexy lyrics like “I’ve never felt anything this big” and “your wild side drives me mad” she also peppers in “home run with three on base” and his New York Yankees jersey number, 13.
And in the video, there’s a handsome, buff, brunette hunk that could pass for a younger A-Rod.
Ch-ch-check out the vid AND J-Lo’s explanation (below)!
So what does J.Lo herself say the song is about?
In an interview with Ebro Darden on Beats 1, she explains:
“Right now, the songs that I have coming out, everything that’s going on with women├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥it’s a very empowering time for us. It’s a good time for us. We’re like, ‘Yo this is not OK/this is OK, I want to be treated with respect, I want my place in your life, I want to be paid equally.’ And my next two songs kind of deal with that. It’s like, ‘Where’s my ring, and where’s my money?'”
So it’s not so much about her demands, but about the demands of women in general. It’s an anthem.
But… does she want that ring from A-Rod too??
She says:
“We’re good right now. I’m not trying to rush into anything, I’ve done that before, to no avail. I’m a little bit more grown up now and I like to let things take their natural course. We are really kind of good for each other and are really having the best time and our kids love each other.”
Is she being real? Or putting up a front?
