JLo reveals her birthday wish: 'I want something bigger than for myself'

Superstar Jennifer Lopez will celebrate her 47th birthday later this month and has revealed the one birthday wish she would love to come true.

She told E! News that she just wants for people to find a way to live harmoniously because recent times have been incredibly trying: "I wish something bigger than for myself. I wish that the world would find a way to resolve our differences and have more love and unity right now."

JLo also opened up about her song 'Love Make The World Go Round' and explained that it felt like the world just needed it: "It was my idea. I had a song called 'Love Make The World Go Round.' It was about relationships and love. And I just thought once the Orlando thing happened...which was kind of the first in a string of things that have happened now tragically, I thought, 'Let's do something for this'."

"I just kind of felt a responsibility to say something or do something. And I decided I wanted to use this song. I heard the song in a different way in that moment. I called Lin Manuel and asked him to do it with me. And he said yes. And we got in there and we rewrote the song's lyrics in 20 minutes to really talk about that idea of love and pride and unity and not being afraid and putting love out into the world at any cost. And we came out with this song."
