In the track, she even samples her 1999 hit but changes the narrative a bit. “You’re asking for me? I’ve arrived, I’ve arrived/ I’m perfect for you, I know it, I know it,” she chants.

I’m still learning too and I’m not going to back down from something I’m truly passionate about because I’m scared or I’m afraid of what people will think. “It’s a layered journey I’ve been on but now having kids of my own, I want them to see that mommy doesn’t know everything. I don’t write in Spanish the way I do in English, but I know my heart,” she said. “It can be intimidating and scary to put yourself out there in a way you know will be challenging.
