In April 2000, MTV News reported that Lopez, who had just finished filming a romantic comedy entitled "The Wedding Planner", would begin recording her second studio album after wrapping up filming for another film, "Angel Eyes" (2001). That August, Lopez told LaunchCast that the album would be titled "My Passionate Journey". "I'm halfway done right now. Hopefully I'll have it out by October," she said. It was reported that Lopez's boyfriend at the time, Sean Combs, who co-produced some of the tracks on "On the 6", would contribute to the album. Additionally, it was reported that Rodney Jerkins, who produced "If You Had My Love", was working with Lopez. She said "I've grown musically, vocally, and everything" and wanted her second album to "... be more of a reflection of who I am, my own experiences".
