"Get Right"
Song

"Get Right" is the lead single from Jennifer Lopez's fourth studio album, Rebirth (2005). Released to U.S. radio in January 2005, in the United Kingdom in February 2005, and as Digital Download in the U.S. in March 2005, the single peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Lopez's tenth top twenty single in the U.S.; it also peaked at number one in numerous countries including the United Kingdom, becoming her first chart-topper in Britain since 2001's "Love Don't Cost a Thing".

Song information

The song was written by Rich Harrison and produced by Harrison and Cory Rooney. It is most notable for its looping, blaring horn sample usage of a part of the 1974 song "Soul Power '74", written by James Brown and performed by Maceo & the Macks.

The production for the song by Rich Harrison was originally recorded by Usher as "Ride", but did not make his 2004 album Confessions.

Music video

The main video, directed by Francis Lawrence, depicts Lopez playing different characters at a nightclub: a DJ (the main character), a Go-Go dancer dancing upon the bar, a bartender, a nerdy, shy girl, a superstar, and other personalities attending the club, as they go about their ways. The characters are somewhat established at the beginning of the video. The "waitress" symphatizes with a friend, then goes about her job, serving drinks and such. The dancer entertains on the bar. The superstar makes her presence known through all her pompous glory. She also locks eyes with the nerdy girl, who eventually breaks out of her shy shell and begins to dance on the table. One of Lopez's personalities is a chola who has a slight scuffle with a male entertainer at the club. At the end, all of them move to the tunes spun out by the DJ (another one of her characters). The song features Marc Anthony's daughter, Ariana – portrayed as the little sister to the DJ character – singing along with the music as the DJ is at work. It received four nominations at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards: Best Dance Video, Best Direction, Best Choreography, and Best Editing.

There is also a music video for the official remix of the song featuring rapper Fabolous which takes segments from the main video and extending them against a gray background. The dancing mainly consists of Lopez dancing with a cane in an old Hollywood sideshow-style dance routine. The other segments are Lopez basically dancing un-choreographed to the beat. All dance routines appear on screens throughout the club, as Lopez explains on MTV's Making the Video, "a video within a video".

Parody

On the episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show broadcast May 16, 2005, Ellen DeGeneres introduces Lopez as a guest, starting the segment of with: "Despite her status as an international movie and singing superstar, I know our first guest simply as my dance student." A video VT plays of her joining in to the dance choreography of "Get Right". The director shouts "Playback!" and dancing rather badly to the guide track, on purpose for laughs, DeGeneres prances around the soundstage trying to keep up with Lopez and her dancers.
