Composition
edit"Limitless" is a power ballad[5] produced by Jesse Shatkin, who co-wrote the song with Sia.[6] Over a piano and drums, Lopez sings about perseverance, stating in the chorus: "I'd given up on the saying ‘I’ll never give up’/ But look at me now/ Yeah, look at me, I'm limitless."[3]

Lopez performed the song again on NBC's New Years Eve 2019 Television Special Live from Citi Walk in Los Angeles, "The Latina diva wore her hair in a sleek, high ponytail while sporting some glitzy eye makeup and bright red lips.
