"Jenny & Becky From The Block" is an autobiographical story about the biggest release of Andre Deyo's 17-year career thus far, originally written by Deyo and recorded by Natasha Ramos, then by Jennifer Lopez, and covered by Becky G. The songwriter takes his experiences to the pages of a book (instead of a lyric sheet), as he reveals the ways in which he created "Jenny From The Block" detailing his interaction and involvement with its new version by Becky G which prominently featured Jennifer Lopez in the video. The target audience is primarily made up of songwriters, musicians, Jennifer Lopez fans (JLovers), and Becky G fans (Beasters). The book was released independently through Deyo's social media outlets: Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud and on his official website: .candreDEYOom.^[1]

It was his follow-up placement in autumn of 2002 "Jenny from the Block" for Jennifer Lopez, which spawned the Billboard Hot 100 number-three single (4 weeks stuck behind "Lose Yourself" by Eminem and "Work It" by Missy Elliott). The song inspired the new nickname for J. Lo and reached number one in Argentina and Canada, and entered the top ten on the majority of all other charts it appeared on. It was produced by Troy Oliver (of New Haven, CT) and featured Jadakiss and Styles (of The Lox). Many people believe it inspired Faith Hill's 2005 hit "Mississippi Girl". The This Is Me... Then album also produced another mrDEYO written single, a co-write with Cory Rooney "I'm Glad".

The video was nominated for four MTV Video Music Awards in 2003: Best Female Video, Best Dance Video, Best Choreography, and Best Art Direction.
