"Ain't Your Mama" is a song recorded by American entertainer Jennifer Lopez. It was written by Meghan Trainor, Theron Thomas, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Gamal "Lunchmoney" Lewis, Henry "Cirkut" Walter and Dr. Luke, while production was handled by the latter two. A pop song with influences of reggae and Latin music, the song has percussion, drums, minimal synths and a Latin beat in its main instrumentation. Lyrically, "Ain't Your Mama" deals with themes of female empowerment, where the protagonist will not accept a partner who needs to be taken care of.
The song was released on April 7, 2016, by Epic Records and Nuyorican Productions. "Ain't Your Mama" became Lopez's first chart appearance in some European territories in over four years, such as Spain and Switzerland, as well as her highest in years in countries like Finland and France, in the former of which it reached the top-ten. It peaked at 76 in the United States. The song's accompanying music video was directed by Cameron Duddy and released on May 6, 2016. It has Lopez playing women throughout the decades.
In March 2016, six years following her departure from the label, it was announced that Lopez had returned to Epic Records and Sony Music Entertainment, signing a multi-album deal with the label. She had released two albums under the Universal Music Group, Love? (2011) via Island Records and A.K.A. (2014) via Capitol Records. Lopez, who had been working on music in the midst of her Las Vegas residency, confirmed that she would be releasing new material: "I’ve been working on music for the past couple of months, and we should be putting something out very soon." "Ain't Your Mama" is the first single Lopez released since resigning with Epic, and is expected to precede her ninth studio album. Co-writer Meghan Trainor who texted Lopez the song said, "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!'" Lopez described the concept behind "Ain't Your Mama" as "very empowering", and explained: "Guys have this tendency, once they love you in the beginning and you're the hottest woman on Earth, and then all of a sudden, it's like, 'Okay... where's my food?' It's like, 'What!? Are you kidding me? Take me out! What are you doing right now?'"
