Jennifer Lopez could be making a huge comeback.

It's been an undoubtedly hectic year for Jennifer Lopez. The iconic performer filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August, just in time for their wedding anniversary. News of the split came amid rampant rumors, and now, the star is committed to focusing on herself. Earlier this month, she told TMZ that she's not looking to date for the time being, and has instead chosen to look for happiness within.

Of course, fans are glad to see J-Lo embracing this healthy mindset amid her split and are looking forward to seeing what she does next. According to Page Six, it could be huge. This week, the outlet spoke with a source who said that Lopez wants to put out a new album. Reportedly, she's also on the hunt for a "big dance hit."

Source Claims Jennifer Lopez Is Planning New Album

“They have reached out to songwriters,” the source claims. “She wants a big dance hit.” They added that she doesn't want just one big song, but is instead considering releasing an entire album. “Her priority [career-wise] is music. There is no point of her going into it unless it’s big, and critics say it’s the old Lopez. She needs a big banger," the source explained. “She wants to get hits, and put out a new album." It looks like this would be a smart career move for Lopez, who called off her tour in support of her album This Is Me... Now in May.

It's rumored that the tour was canceled due to low ticket sales, but this is not confirmed. Lopez hinted at potentially retiring following the release of the album in an interview with ET in February. “She has had an enormous amount of hits and can’t accept the last album is the end of her music career,” the source claims. “She wants to wash away the stink of ‘This is Me Now.'” What do you think of Jennifer Lopez reportedly seeking a "big dance hit" now that she's single?
