Following the success of ''J.Lo'', Lopez and Epic Records announced plans to create a remix album. On December 18, 2001, MTV News reported that Lopez had teamed up with Ja Rule (who was featured on her song "I'm Real (Murder Remix)" which topped the ''Billboard'' Hot 100) and other artists for her remix album, which would be released in February.〔 It was also announced that Lopez would rework her 2001 single, "Ain't It Funny" into a Murder Remix which would feature Ja Rule.〔 Ashanti wrote three verses and demoed the new version of "Ain't It Funny" for Lopez. "I got a call from Gotti in Los Angeles. He asked me to write another verse () I had to write it over the phone and two-way Irv the lyrics." Ashanti's vocals were later added to the final song as background vocals. On January 18, 2002, Epic Records confirmed that a Lopez's live DVD and remix album would be arriving soon. Lopez's ex-boyfriend Sean Combs produced and featured on a reworked version of "Feelin' So Good" for the album. "Alive", a ballad which was created for her thriller film ''Enough'' (2002) was the only original song written for the album by Lopez and her ex-husband Cris Judd. The song speaks of not being afraid anymore.〔 Track Masters produced a remix of "I'm Gonna Be Alright" which served as the album's second official single; 50 Cent and Nas's vocals were added to separate versions of the song in its commercial release. This was without controversy; Lopez and Epic Records picked Nas to be featured on the radio version due to his popularity on the music charts, which upset 50 Cent, who felt betrayed by Nas. Despite, at this time 50 Cent was still an upcoming artist. According to rumors, 50 Cent hadn't hard feelings for Lopez, but did "hate" Nas. Lopez's management said this was all completely business. The 50 Cent-featured version appeared on the American pressing of ''J to tha L-O!: The Remixes'' album (however, the European and current digital editions feature a no-rap version) while the Nas-featured version appears on the European pressing of Lopez's 2002 album ''This Is Me... Then''. Commercial CD singles were issued containing Nas' version. The 2002 U.S. compilation ''Now That's What I Call Music! 10'' also contains the version featuring Nas. "I'm Gonna Be Alright" features a bassline from Club Nouveau's "Why You Treat Me So Bad".〔 Pablo Flores reworked "Let's Get Loud" with more of a charged dance beat with a house interpretation of "Waiting For Tonight" included too.〔 All of the songs remixed on ''J to tha L-O! The Remixes'' had previously been released as singles from their respective albums, with the exception of "Walking On Sunshine". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「J to tha L–O!
