girl, dressed in "short shorts, stilettos and a white, fitted blouse". According to an Australian news site, the photo from the single's cover art was actually taken back in 2003, for an issue of Esquire. Controversy Within hours of the song's release, news outlets noted the fact that one of the song's producers was Dr. Luke. Many fans were outraged by the news as the song had been released less than a few hours after it was announced that singer Kesha's lawsuit against Luke had been thrown out by the judge presiding over the case. Within hours, many Kesha supporters took to social media urging music buyers to boycott the song. The following day, E! News reported that the song itself was co-written by Dr. Luke and Meghan Trainor in 2014 prior to Kesha filing her lawsuit against Dr. Luke and was originally intended for Trainor's debut album Title, however Trainor ultimately decided not to use the song. Two years later after it was announced that Lopez had returned to Epic Records, the label that Trainor is also signed to, she recorded her own version of the song with Trainor providing background vocals after Trainor offered her the song. As Dr. Luke had already produced the song two years prior to Lopez recording her version, the two had no interaction during Lopez's recording of the song. Critical reception Robbie Daw of Idolator called it "an instantly-catchy track" and an "independent-women anthem." Jessie Morris of Complex labelled it "an infectious anti-housewife anthem," observing that "the track's hot beat mixed with that searing hook makes 'Ain't Your Mama' a radio-ready hit." Brennan Carley of Spin named it "a light, tropical bit of froth with some impassioned lyrics and a killer drum bit," while Lewis Corner of Digital Spy referred to the song as a "hip-shaking anthem." Alexa Camp of Slant Magazine noted that "the song's subtle reggae groove recalls that of Lopez's slept-on 2011 single 'I'm Into You'," highlighting "its instantly memorable hook" and that it "finds the former Fly Girl flipping gender roles on their head, something she also did with the music video for 2014’s 'I Luh Ya Papi'." Chart performance After a full tracking week, the song debuted at number 92 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, registering 1.8 million streams in the US. By June 16, 2016, "Ain't Your Mama" had sold 102,412 digital downloads in the US.
