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."
