A boxing ring then appears on stage and Lopez emerges with a different costume, a gold cape, and sings "Goin' In".
"[20][24] Robert Copsey of Digital Spy stated that the mood of this was: "fitting for an artist of whom many of her hits punctuated the crowd's teenagehoods",[21] while Rachael Wheeler of Daily Mirror said: "Watching the concert was like going back through my teenage years, past drunken house parties at uni and all the way up to a night out last week.
After retreating backstage following "Until It Beats No More", Lopez returns on-stage wearing a tuxedo with pink ruffles while playing a bongo.

"[39] Amanda Lago of GMA News said that the beginning of the Filipino show was "slightly underwhelming" but the crowd "cheered endlessly and cried out" for Lopez.
[20] Jong said that she "hit all the dance moves while singing in-tune at the same time without seemingly breaking a single sweat.
