Love Don't Cost a Thing (song)
"Love Don't Cost a Thing" is a song recorded by American entertainer Jennifer Lopez for her second studio album, ''J.Lo'' (2001). It was released on January 8, 2001 by Epic Records as the lead single from the album. The song was written by Damon Sharpe, Georgette Franklin, Jeremy Monroe, Amille D. Harris, and Greg Lawson, and was produced by Ric Wake, Richie Jones, and Cory Rooney. At the time of the song's release, Lopez was transitioning into a sex symbol and in a relationship with American rapper Sean Combs. Lyrically, "Love Don't Cost a Thing" is described as an "exploration of love" in which Lopez is unhappy about her materialistic lover; provoking much media analysis as to whether or not it was an innuendo towards Combs. Ultimately, the pair's courtship ended shortly after its release. Described as "frothy" and "catchy" by critics, it was noted for its message about love and commercial appeal to women.
"Love Don't Cost a Thing" was met with worldwide commercial success, and is considered "classic Lopez". It peaked within the top ten in the United States and foreign markets including Australia, France, Germany and Ireland, as well as peaking at number one in Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, among other countries. "Love Don't Cost a Thing" was also a radio hit, becoming her first single to top the American Hot 100 airplay chart. The music video for "Love Don't Cost a Thing" directed by Paul Hunter and choreographed by Darrin Dewitt Henson was met with acclaim, garnering MTV Video Music Award and ALMA Award nominations. It became one of the year's most-viewed clips, and was highly requested on the music video broadcasting series, ''Total Request Live''. The music video subsequently became notorious after Lopez married Cris Judd, one of the back-up dancers who appeared in it. Lopez has performed "Love Don't Cost a Thing" live on numerous occasions, including the 2000 MTV Europe Music Awards and the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City, held days before 9/11.
==Background and release==
After a high-profile title role in the musical biopic ''Selena'' (1997), Lopez began developing her own career in music, later being signed to Work Records by Tommy Mottola.〔Mendible, M. (2007). From bananas to buttocks : the Latina body in popular film and culture. Austin: University of Texas Press.〕 Her debut album entitled ''On the 6'' (1999) became an instant commercial success, and spawned the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 number one song "If You Had My Love". This led her to begin recording new material for her second album in April 2000. Initially, the album was to be called ''A Passionate Journey''. During this period, Lopez began to transition into a sex symbol and was nicknamed J.Lo by the public, which is known as a nickname and "public persona".〔〔 Hence, she instead released an album entitled ''J.Lo'', which she credits as being more "personal" and "romantic" than ''On the 6''.〔 "Love Don't Cost a Thing" was globally premiered on November 16, 2000. The single began impacting US radio from mid-December. "Love Don't Cost a Thing" was included on the sixth edition of the American ''Now That's What I Call Music!'' compilation album series,〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Billboard )〕 as well as Lopez's greatest hits album, ''Dance Again... the Hits'', which was released on July 24, 2012.
