Jennifer Lopez has never been one to stay in one lane. From Jenny on the Block to global pop icon, she’s always reinventing herself. Now, JLo is stepping into her boldest role yet with a haunting rendition of the title track from her upcoming film, Kiss of the Spider Woman.
A Broadway-Style Performance
Dropped on Friday (Sept. 5), Lopez’s version of the John Kander and Frank Ebb classic takes us straight to Broadway vibes. The waltzing melody builds while JLo belts out lines about love, seduction, and death, giving the track a sultry and theatrical feel. One chilling lyric goes: “Sooner or later, in sunlight or bloom/ When the red candles flicker, she’ll walk in the room.” It’s dramatic, it’s powerful, and it proves she’s more than ready for the big stage.
A First Look at Spider Woman
To turn up the hype, Lopez also released new photos of her character. In one shot, she’s rocking a shimmering green gown with sharp black bangs, set against the eerie backdrop of a prison cell. Another image shows her trapped in a massive web, leaning into the mysterious, dangerous energy of the story. Along with the photos, she teased another lyric from the song: “There’s only one pin that can puncture such bliss… Her kiss.”
Why It Matters
This isn’t just another JLo project—it’s a moment. By tackling such an iconic musical piece, Lopez is showing us her range while stepping into a role that feels worlds away from her usual pop glamour. Fans of theater, Latin icons, and Lopez herself all have a reason to tune in, because if this preview is any sign, the full film will be unforgettable.
