New Jennifer Lopez Song Leaked!

Before Jennifer Lopez takes a break from recording to focus on her upcoming screen projects, she's—ahem—"takin' it back to the hood" (she said it, not me) with this new track, "Hooked on You," which just leaked on the internet and is reportedly the first single from her upcoming greatest hits album.
When I listen to it, the only two things I come away with are a relentless, club-pandering bassline (a la Janet Jackson's ill-fated comeback single, "Feedback") and sexually explicit lyrics like these:
Do it till the boards shake, do it till the windows break
The whole room vibrates, and it's like an earthquake
Now, I'm not saying that other female artists aren't just as scandalous, but I've never heard this kind of stuff from J.Lo. If she's going to try her hand at dirrrty lyrics, does she really need to reference a song by X-rated one hit wonder Khia with lines like, "I like it like that, my neck and my back?" This is the musical equivalent of dusting off your most cleavage-baring outfit from five years ago and wearing it on the red carpet...um, never mind.
Also, every singer and their mother is using AutoTune in all sorts of obvious ways right now; why isn't Jennifer? I can't think of any other artist who could benefit from special effects note-twisting more than her.
Take a listen and tell me: what's your first impression of Jennifer's new single?
