Jennifer Lopez is marking her 56th birthday in true superstar style—with the release of her first independent single, titled Birthday.
The global pop icon celebrated the milestone on July 24 with a lavish party that also doubled as a musical debut.
Taking to Instagram, Lopez shared a series of glamorous moments from her luxury celebration, which took place during a break from her Up All Night Live 2025 Tour. Surrounded by friends, dancers, and her tour crew, the singer gave fans an exclusive first performance of her new track.
J.Lo Debuts Bold New Song ‘Birthday’
In a bold and empowering move, Lopez performed Birthday—a soulful and energetic anthem with lyrics that include, “Name on top of the cake, it’s my birthday, I’ma make this famous ass shake, it’s my birthday.” The crowd erupted in cheers as she showcased the track, which many believe signals a new era in her music career.
Adding to the birthday glam was a stunning three-tier cake, adorned with silver letters spelling out ‘J.LO’, a symbol of her iconic status in the entertainment world.
Celebrating Her First Birthday as a Single Woman
This year’s celebration is especially significant for Lopez, as it marks her first birthday as a single woman following her official divorce from Ben Affleck in February 2025. The couple’s split made headlines earlier this year, closing a highly publicized chapter in her personal life.
First Independent Release After Parting Ways with BGM
Lopez’s release of Birthday also marks her first independent track, following her reported split from her former record label BGM. Industry insiders suggest the move came after underwhelming sales of her 2024 album This Is Me… Now.
While Lopez has yet to confirm the label departure publicly, fans are celebrating this new direction in her career. With Birthday, Jennifer Lopez appears to be embracing creative freedom as she enters a bold new phase—both personally and professionally.
