Ranking Our Favorite Jennifer Lopez Music Videos

Lopez filmed this sweet music video for her 2022 rom-com, Marry Me, in which she stars alongside Owen Wilson and Maluma. “I would say it’s a true romance story, which I love,” she told Elle before the movie’s release. “It’s the first time I’ve done music and film together since Selena. Actually, it’s the first time I’ve ever really sang in the movie and did my own whole album for the movie, separate from a Jennifer Lopez/J.Lo album.”

In 2016, J.Lo came out with an eye-catching music video for her hit single, “Ain’t Your Mama,” which had her playing a 1950s housewife, a news reporter, a secretary, and a factory worker. Of course, the video closes out with an elaborate dance choreography scene.

Try listening to this song without getting it stuck in your head. It's impossible. This black and white video, which features cameos from DJ Khaled and Cardi B, has no shortage of glamorous settings—a dining room with an elaborate chandelier, a gated garden, and a private plane, to name just a few.

Who could forget Lopez’s baby pink winter jacket that steals the show in “All I Have,” the 2003 music video she did with LL Cool J. It was shot in New York City in November 2002 and stars the duo as ex-lovers.

In 1999, J.Lo came out with “Waiting for Tonight,” an energetic club song that depicts a group of people waiting for the clock to strike midnight on New Year’s Eve. The music won Best Dance Video at the MTV Music Video Awards in 2000.

Another one of Lopez’s earlier music videos, “If You Had My Love,” is the epitome of Y2K style. The bulky desktop computers, cropped tops, and low-rise pants ooze late-90s/early-2000s energy. Even beter? This video earned her four MTV Video Music Awards nominations.

Lopez collaborated with Ja Rule and Cadillac Tah for the “Ain’t It Funny” music video, which Herb Ritts directed.

Ja Rule and J.Lo once again joined forces for “I’m Real.” The video won an MTV Video Music Award and a BET Award.

In this fun music video, Lopez plays several different characters, including a DJ, a dancer, and a bartender. “This is a very ambitious video because of all the different things I have to do in the video,” Lopez told Making the Video while on set. “I think people are going to enjoy it.” The video, released in 2005, was nominated for several MTV Music Video Awards and Teen Choice awards.

The inspiration for this video was Flashdance, the 1983 movie that stars Jennifer Beals, and Lopez even included the famous water dance scene in it. Even though this video was well received and nominated for awards, the person who inspired Flashdance sued Lopez after the video’s release for copyright infringement.

The waterfront estate, the fancy cars, the jewelry, the choreographed dance scene on the beach—the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” video has it all. Fun fact: Lopez tied the knot with one of the backup dancers in the video, Cris Judd, afterwards. The two were only briefly married.

Amazing outfits and top-notch dancing aside, the Ben Affleck cameo is one of the best parts of the “Jenny from the Block” video. The two have quite the history—they dated from 2002 to 2004, went their separate ways and then reunited in 2021 before officially tying the knot last summer.
