Now that she’s single, she is looking for a hit single!

 

A source tells Page Six that Jennifer Lopez is shopping around for a new smash song in the wake of her split from Ben Affleck.

 

“They have reached out to songwriters,” says the source. “She wants a big dance hit.”

 

 

Lopez had hinted at retiring from music ahead of the release.

 

“The truth is I don’t even know if I’ll ever make another album after this,” she said. “Don’t tell Benny [Medina, her longtime manager] that that’s what I’m thinking — this might be my last album ever.”

 

Lopez canceled her tour to spend time with her family amidst her split from Ben Affleck.

 

“She has had an enormous amount of hits and can’t accept the last album is the end of her music career,” says the source. “She wants to wash away the stink of ‘This is Me Now.’”

 

The album got mixed reviews from critics. Slate wrote, “most of the album falls short,” while hip site Pitchfork reckoned of the album, “the narrative threatens to, and does, overtake the music.”

 

The project was also released with an experimental Amazon documentary, inspired by her relationship with Affleck.

 

Lopez, who has played the Super Bowl, has had countless hits over the years.

 

The tour for the album reportedly sold poorly and Lopez, who was in the midst of her split with Affleck, wound up pulling the plug, saying she was “taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.”

 

While the multi-talented performer’s movies have done well, we’re told the “On the Floor,” singer’s “priority is on music” as well.

 

 

Lopez has two upcoming films with Affleck’s production company, Artists Equity.
