On her new single, “Ain’t Your Mama,” Lopez lays down the rules: she’s not going to cook or do your laundry because she answers to nobody but herself. She will, presumably, have to answer why she picked a lead single produced by Dr. Luke, whom Kesha has accused of sexual assault in a very public legal battle that’s had everyone from [Adele](http://time.com/4236175/adele-kesha-support-brit-awards/ "undefined") to [Lady Gaga](http://www.people.com/article/lady-gaga-says-kesha-being-shamed-in-dr-luke-rape-lawsuit "undefined") weighing in. (He has denied all the allegations.) But lest you think the song is lacking in any girl power spirit, just listen closely to the chorus to hear some extra vocals from [J. Lo superfan](https://www.instagram.com/p/BD1CDmsuSlw/?taken-by=meghan%5Ftrainor "undefined") and new labelmate [Meghan Trainor.](http://time.com/4246204/meghan-trainor-no-interview-new-album/ "undefined") Listen to “Ain’t Your Mama” [here](https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/aint-your-mama-single/id1100570214?app=itunes "undefined"), and look out for Lopez’s live debut of the song during _American Idol_. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4285000/jennifer-lopez-aint-your-mama-dr-luke/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4285000/jennifer-lopez-aint-your-mama-dr-luke/"},"headline":"Hear Jennifer Lopez's New Single 'Ain't Your Mama'","datePublished":"2016-04-07T14:47:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T16:32:50.028Z","description":"J.
