In a new cover interview for the Love Issue, on newsstands this week, the “On My Way” singer spoke to PEOPLE about the role the soundtrack — which she curated — played in the movie.
“The songs tell the story just as much,” she told PEOPLE exclusively.
“I always wanted to do music with movies. I love musicals and I’ve never really had the chance to do one since Selena. And even then it wasn’t my voice,” she said, referring to her 1997 hitSelena, in which she plays the late music icon Selena Quintanilla-Pérez.
Lopez continued, “It was Selena’s voice in the movie. And so it was about, ‘Hey, this project could really lend itself to doing that and performing and putting these two worlds together that had lived so separately for so very long.'”
In the end, she said the project is a “great love story with music.”
Playing a superstar singer in the romantic comedy was “really fun and also cathartic,” Lopez said. She co-produced the film and enjoyed “revealing a little something of what it’s like living in the public eye.”
