Album production
In a MTV News interview while on the music video set for "Me Haces Falta", Lopez promised fans "danceable music" on this album. This album returned Lopez to pop, R&B, and hip hop sound since her previous english language studio album Rebirth.[3] She stated the album is "dance, funk, R&B, hip-hop, all that stuff, all mixed up together to make some great pop music".[3] She described Brave as "a little Jamiroquai, a little Sade. It's real feel-good music".[4] Lopez recurited producers such as J.R. Rotem, Bloodshy & Avant, Midi Mafia and Ryan Tedder.[4][5] On March 27, 2007, on Total Request Live, Lopez stated there are no featured appearances and chose between four uptempo songs for the first single. The first single chosen was "Do It Well." Lopez played a track in Las Vegas in late April and stated she is going on her first tour with a mix of English and Spanish music.
On August 26, 2007, ABC premiered a promo for the fourth season of Desperate Housewives, featuring a snippet of the song "Mile In These Shoes.".
The album leaked a week before the official release.
