Jenn has yet to give us her best and most personal album i'm sure, like "American life" was for Maddy, "Contol" for Janet or even Stripped for X-tina. Also i want a song with the title ""You know what i mean?"

I think she already served it to us via CAUM/TIMT

nope i don't see them like that because for CAUM she didn't wrote the songs and both album are full of Love song (except maybe one for TIMT) and i'm thinking about an album where she would sing about what she feels not only on love but on many subject like the albums i mentionned did, Pink's "i'm not dead" is another one, if you know what i mean

Rooney and Lopez worked closely together on her debut album (On The 6, serving as co-executive producers, and writing four songs together. Rooney also co-wrote the breakthrough single, "If You Had My Love" (with Rodney Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III and LaShawn Daniels).

Rooney & Lopez continued their extensive collaboration for her follow-up album, J.Lo. He co-wrote seven songs for the album, including the hits "Ain't It Funny, "I'm Real," "I'm Gonna Be Alright" and "Play."

"On 'Ain't It Funny,' Jennifer and I were in Canada, and we wanted to write a song [which was originally intended] for her movie, The Wedding Planner," said Rooney. "The music popped in my head, and I went home and worked on the track. Then I sat with Jennifer and we banged out the song. Tommy (Mottola) was even involved with writing the song. He was so enthusiastic about the track, that he contributed melody ideas to the song."

The chart successes of both "I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny" were boosted by innovative remixes by the production team of Murder Inc., and duet vocals (with Lopez) by Ja Rule. "With the remix of 'I'm Real,' Tommy and I came up with something drastic," explained Rooney. "We wanted a version [of 'I'm Real'] which would be embraced by urban radio. We realized that urban radio was into Ja Rule and Murder Inc., so we brought them in, not just to do a remix, but to help remake the record. They did such a great job with 'I'm Real,' that we also had them work on 'Ain't It Funny.'"

Rooney has already begun co-writing with Lopez for her next album. "Working with Jennifer brings out the most creative part of me," said Rooney. "She's got so many ideas. She keeps a big notebook filled with her concepts about music, plus titles and topics for lyrics. I call it her magic book."

Rooney is keeping a very busy schedule, currently collaborating with Lopez and several other artists. He recently completed a new album with Marc Anthony, and he is involved with other, top projects.
