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 . Lopez 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 . " " Ai n'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 " Ai n'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 ? ' " " Ai n't Your Mama " is a pop song . It was written by Meghan Trainor , Theron Thomas , Jacob Kasher Hindlin , Gamal " Lunchmoney " Lewis , Henry Walter and Lukasz Gottwald . It was produced by Cirkut and Dr. Luke , with Trainor also providing background vocals . The song 's production features percussion , drums , minimal synths and a " head-bobbing , hip-swaying " Latin beat , with a reggae groove . According to Forbes ' Hugh McIntyre , " the track has a hint of Latin flare , which nobody does better , though it does n’t focus too much on any one sound , instead leaning much more towards typical top 40 fare . " Sara Geffen of MTV News described it as " minimal but upbeat " , stating that Lopez 's voice takes " center stage " . Lyrically , the song " celebrates a woman who is independent and wo n't accept a partner who needs to be taken care of " , with Lopez " putting her man in his place for not pulling weight in their relationship " . '' Rap-Up '' characterized the single as " sassy " . It includes lyrics such as " I ai n't gon na be cooking all day , I ai n't your mama " and " I ai n't gon na do your laundry , I ai n't your mama ... When did you get too comfortable , 'cause I 'm too good for that " . '' Entertainment Weekly '' called it an " anthem celebrating her independence and distaste in overly dependent partners "
