The superior Rich Harrison-produced single came 15 days later.

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

This is insane because I still remember everything just like if it was yesterday.

[BlahBlahBlah]

God I love this song, whenever I hear that opening saxophone I have to stop and listen to the whole thing 

[naval23]

not you beating me to this but wow this is such a BOP

 

i've been streaming it a lot lately 

 

we love a European Hot 100 #1 smash hit 

 

[UrMom]

A classique! And it really inspired the sound of Namie's Play alberm

 

 

[skeeyee]

I was praying the entire video she wasn't the one in the Afro wig 

[L0verb0y]

A CLASSIC! that big hairflip she does dancing on the bar is core memory for me lol 

[Slap]

Absolutely iconic. Never got into the album aside from the singles but really enjoyed this era and the cane was such a vibe. 

[Bloodflowers.]

She was at her lowest. Broken engagement with Ben Affleck. Gigli panned. Gigli bombed. Won a Razzie. I'm Glad music video taken down due to copyright claim and previous album era got cut short. Celebrity magazines being ruthless to her private life. Movie role offers disappearing left and right after Gigli. Paula Abdul didn't wanna leave American Idol yet. She came on this Amerie b-side banger MAD AS HELL and turned it into a one last global smash before disappearing until 2011's On the Floor

And that's the song she wanted originally. Get Right was the consolation prize, which was handed to her from Usher's vault (without his knowledge or approval, though he miraculously got his writing credits...eventually).

 

Y'anna Crawley is also singing the chorus and all backgrounds (along with another singer called Rudaina) too, but from what I hear, she wasn't mad at it since J.Lo's team cut her a check big enough to buy diamonds with.

 

So everybody won in the end.

Not that Rebirth being longer.

[prettyinpink940]

What a moment  I still remember when she opened the NRJ Music Awards that year. 

[Elusive Chanteuse]

A grove

 

[CherryBay]

Still can't forgive her not making Step Into My World a second single, a single

[Soda Pop Queen]

It is a bop, even though she stole it out from under Usher lol

 

I wonder what his version would've sounded like.

[sk8erfan]

Girlie loves releasing lead singles in January 

[ReH2o]

Banger 

[livelikemusic]

An absolute banger!

[skizzo]

Rebirth had so much potential, that album was full of hits

It really was, and it's so disappointing it was poorly handled by Epic and management.

His demo version is basically a different song, with the bridge only being the same as JLo's version. The song is a bop, though you can hear that it's an unfinished demo, since he ended up rejecting the song in the end.
