Album Title
The album's title, On the 6, is a reference to the 6 subway line in New York City, which Lopez used to commute to work in Manhattan from her home in The Bronx during the early years of her career. Lopez said that she hoped On the 6 would appeal to people like her, saying: "English is my first language. I grew up here. I was born here, I didn't have a career in Spanish first. I think it appeals definitely to my generation of people, we grew up in America but had Latin parents or parents of different ethnicity."

Famous quotes containing the words album and/or title:
“What a long strange trip it’s been.”
—Robert Hunter, U.S. rock lyricist. “Truckin’,” on the Grateful Dead album American Beauty (1971)
“If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own—the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him. All that he has to do is to write and publish a very little book. Its title should be simple—a few plain words—”My Heart Laid Bare.” But—this little book must be true to its title.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
