Jennifer Lopez Says She 'Lucked Out' With Lady Gaga Tracks

Jennifer Lopez came onto the scene as a dance princess, throwing millennium parties while "Waiting for Tonight" and frolicking on the beach declaring that "My Love Don't Cost a Thing." Well, it's now 2011 and not that much has changed for J.Lo.

She still wants her fans to shake their fannies while she sings about the ups and downs of love. This time around, however, she got some help from this millennium's biggest pop princess, Lady Gaga ? along with frequent Gaga collaborator/producer RedOne ? for the just-released Love? album.

"I think RedOne's sound is very specific, but he also can be very individual for each artist that he works with, which I like, but there's still kind of a commonality in it," J.Lo said. "But it's him. He makes a record sound so big and important ... When he would play me different tracks and even the beginnings of ideas and when he told me, 'Actually I worked with Gaga on this,' and I was like, 'Really? That's awesome. Is it OK?' and he [was] like, 'Yeah, yeah.' You know, they write and produce together a lot. So, it was exciting. I kind of just lucked out on that one."

But, there is a lot more to the album than the few tracks featuring Gaga's golden touch. Love? also is a complete work of art that in a way, Lopez says, she's been working on for most of her life.

"I've been making this album maybe for a couple years now," she said. "It's been quite a process, but I've been saying lately that I've been actually making this record since I was 13 years old ? the first time I fell in love ? because it's true, all the thoughts and all the things that went into this album were questions and things that I've had over the years ... Love is a very complex topic and I've been singing about it since my first album, and this was kind of the culmination of that."

Sure, J.Lo is not the same girl she was back then, and she knows that. "I wanted to pose some questions and get the dialogue going about love," she added. "I wanted to make a great dance, rhythmic album, as well ... and we did that. I had great producers ... who helped me do that, helped take me and put it into this generation of music with all of that [and] we still were able to do that."
