The 46-year-old songtress said it's all thanks to her eight-year-old twins, Max and Emme, that she has realised the difference between real and unreal, reported People magazine.
"I had given birth and the kids honestly just gave me a new direction. They just made me realize what was real and what wasn't real. They just changed everything," Lopez said.
The "On the Floor" hitmaker felt invigorated after becoming a mother and "started thinking about life in a different way.".
"I started asking more questions of myself of love, of what was right, of what was wrong. I knew for their life to be great, I had to be great and I needed to fix some things and that is where the music came from," she added.
