Jennifer Lopez drops multiple pop culture and social references in the vastly entertaining video to “Ain’t Your Mama,” the female power anthem penned for her by Meghan Trainor.
Beginning with a one-sided phone conversation that probably every working woman in the world has had (“I’m tired, I’ve been working all day! No, I can’t…you should [do it]”), Lopez then takes us to a TV news studio where Hillary Clinton’s famous “Human rights are women’s rights” speech can be heard in the background.

Her rallying cry, asking women everywhere to get up and scream “I Ain’t Your Mama!” is a reference to the famous “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!” cry heard in the 1976 satire Network.
It ends with an all-women power march/dance. Watch.
