the album starts with "a.k.a.", the roccstar-produced hip-hop track features rapper t.i. and was considered a "bass heavy banger." lyrically, "a.k.a." is a declaration of self-identity and a presumed ex's inability to realize what they had before it was too late. "it took too long to find out what you want right now/ i'm too gone to stay around/ switching up my style," she sings. the second track and second single "first love" was produced by max martin and it's an upbeat, bass heavy track, in which lopez sings: "i wish you were my first love, cuz if you were first, baby there would have been no second, third, or fourth love." of the producer, she said: "max martin [is a] genius, man. he's a super producer, maker of great pop hits. i've always wanted to work with him but our paths [hadn't] crossed. i sought him out." the mid-tempo "never satisfied" was first premiered at a concert in dubai being considered a "guitar-driven" track. however, "a.k.a."'s version is more r&b-infused track, with hypnotic beats. "i'm never satisfied/ honey my appetite is keeping me up at night/ i'm going crazy for more of your love," lopez pleads with a partner for everlasting affection. the album's first single and fourth track "i luh ya papi" features french montana and was named "an unashamed ode to sex," featuring "squeaky electronica and provocative rhetoric". the fifth track "acting like that" is a slow and hip-hop track, bounced in an urban groove, where jennifer talks about a relationship on the rocks and warning of its demise. "don't let the tables turn/ don't let the bridges burn/ been down for you don't get it confused/ boy you could lose your turn," she sings. the song features australian rapper iggy azalea, which raps about "everything from mary j. blige to lopez's 2001 hit "ain't it funny". the sixth track, the mid-tempo ballad "emotions", was written by chantal kreviazuk and chris brown. she passionately sings of anguish, guided by trickling keys: "someone took my emotions, i feel good cuz i don't feel bad… i tried to give you all my love but that never meant a thing to you," she sings over squiggly synths and piano.
