Jennifer Lopez says that she was advised to change Feelin’ So Good, one of the singles from her debut album, On the 6, because she was told that it sounded too similar to a Whitney Houston hit that had been released a few months previously.

Appearing on Track Star, Lopez told the story after she correctly identified Whitney Houston’s 1999 hit, It’s Not Right But It’s Okay.
