J. Lo tackles gender inequality in new 'Ain’t Your Mama' video

Friendly reminder: She may be a mother of two, but Jennifer Lopez Ain’t Your Mama.

On Friday, the multi-hyphenate entertainer premiered the video for her critically received lead single, Ain’t Your Mama, which she first premiered on American Idol last month. As expected of a pop anthem that unflinchingly takes man-children to task, the upbeat record's accompanying visuals follow Lopez as she flits in and out of the decades — as an overtaxed housewife, an underpaid factory worker, a pursued secretary and a pigeonholed executive — and challenges the extant cultural zeitgeist.

The music video also features soundbites from women’s rights activist Gloria Steinem, a sampling of Hillary Clinton’s 1995 speech from the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women and a televised soliloquy from Lopez in the same culturally damning vein as the Network’s Howard Beale (Peter Finch).

But, for all its ticks on the checklist, the song’s production credits originally left many fans side-eyeing Lopez. According to TIME magazine, an early version of the record was co-produced by Dr. Luke, whom True Colors singer Kesha accused of ongoing abuse, including drugging and sexually assaulting her a decade ago.

While Dr. Luke was not involved in the final production for Ain't Your Mama, Lopez still received social media backlash over the record, which prompted songwriter Meghan Trainor to come to her defense in an interview with OfficialCharts.com.

"(It was) not fair on her, not at all," Trainor said, maintaining that Lopez was unaware of Dr. Luke's initial involvement with the project. "I texted her the song and she had no idea — she thought I did it alone by myself at my house, which a lot of people think because I do do that. I sent it to her and said, 'Do you like the song?' and she said, 'I love the song. My kid loves the song— he's made me play it five times already, so I know it's a hit. When can I cut it?' so I said, 'Immediately. Whenever you want!'"
