if - else statement with two rules?

Question

I want an if statement with two rules, but I'm new to this and I know I'm not doing it right but I hope this gives you an idea what I want.

$('.album_tracks_light, .album_tracks_dark').mouseenter(function() {
    if ($(this).hasClass('album_tracks_active')(this > span).hasClass('span-not-link'))) {
        return false;
    } else {
        $(this).css('background','#282828');
    };
});

Basically what I want is, if the two elements that I .mousenter has either the 'album_tracks_active' class or has a span tag in it with the class 'span-not-link', then I want to change the elements background that I .mousentered.

This is the html

            <li class="album_tracks_dark">
                <span class="span-not-link"></span>
            </li>
            <li class="album_tracks_light">
                <span class="span-link"></span>
            </li>

Use logical or operator ||

if ($(this).hasClass('album_tracks_active') || ($(this).children('span').hasClass('span-not-link')))
