"Get Right" is a song by American singer Jennifer Lopez for her fourth studio album, Rebirth (2005). It was written by Rich Harrison and James Brown, and produced by Harrison and Cory Rooney. An upbeat dance and R&B song with jazz and funk influences, "Get Right" marks a departure in Lopez's musical style, and has been called one of her most "memorable" songs by The New York Times. It is built around a sample of "Soul Power 74" by Maceo and the Macks, and was noted for its heavy use of saxophone and horn instrumentation. The song contains lyrics about dancing, sex and drinking at a club. American rapper Fabolous is featured on a separate version of the song which is present as a bonus track on Rebirth. "Get Right" was announced as the album's lead single in November 2004.[1]
Music critics generally commended the song's production, but felt that Lopez's "talk-singing" vocals were lackluster. "Get Right" gained immediate worldwide attention following its release, considering Lopez hadn't released new material in over two years. It peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. Outside of the United States, "Get Right" topped the charts in Italy, the Republic of Ireland, and the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten in of the charts in other international music markets, including Australia, Denmark, Germany, and Spain.
While recording his fourth studio album, Confessions (2004), American recording artist Usher collaborated with record producer Rich Harrison; only one of the songs they did together, "Take Your Hand", made the album's final track listing.[4] However, one of the songs that missed the album's track listing was "Ride", composed by Harrison, although it was made available as a 12-inch club record and as a leaked internet download.[5] Harrison decided to rework the song for Lopez after opting to give "1 Thing" to Amerie over her.[6] The resulting "Get Right" contained the "same horn track" and "same vocal guidelines" as "Ride". Sources reported that Usher was unhappy and wanted publishing credits, because he "couldn't get it right" for Confessions, but didn't expect it to be used by someone else; "I'd better get some of the publishing rights or else," he was allegedly quoted saying.[7]
According to MTV News, most of Usher's lyrics to "Ride" differ from Lopez's "Get Right". In one verse, he sings: "It's the way that you look at me, piques my curiosity". "I'm wondering what you're feeling tonight/ We never chilled, we never spent no time/ So let's take a minute/ ... Show you what I'm feeling inside/ Baby, hold on, tonight we're gonna ride."[8] As "Ride" had been circulating online for months, following the release of "Get Right", club DJs began playing the songs back-to-back, "letting listeners hear two big-name singers going head-to-head over the same beat".[9]
"Get Right" is an upbeat dance and R&B song with jazz and funk influences, which has a duration of three minutes and forty-five seconds (3:45).[10][11] It was written by Richard Harrison, who produced it alongside Cory Rooney. Lopez recorded her vocals with Bruce Swedien and Peter Wade Keusch at recording studios in Fort Washington and Long Island. Swedien and Keusch later mixed her vocals at Cove City Sound Studios, Glen Cove.[12] The song's hook is based around a sample of Maceo and the Macks' track "Soul Power 74".[13] This was a remixed instrumental version of the original James Brown song "Soul Power".[14] A honking saxophone line, described as "wild" by The New York Times, is looped over and over again throughout the song[9] which also utilizes the use of repetitive horn rifts.[15] The song's beat was noted by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel among other sources to be "infectious".[16][17] Fox News noted the entertainer to be "talk-singing" on the track.[18]
The song's lyrical premise is about Lopez's invitations towards a potential dancer partner, incorporating themes of dance, sex and alcohol. She promises him that "before the night is up we can get right" during the song's chorus.[19] She later states "I'm about to fill your cup/So we can get it right".[20] In the bridge of "Get Right", the lyrics are identical to Usher's "Ride". Lopez sings, "So much we've got to say, but so little time/ And if tonight ain't long enough, don't leave love behind/ (Don't leave this man behind)/ Baby, take my hand".[8] On the song's remix, American rapper Fabolous is featured. His lyrics include "I ain't Mr. Right, I'm Mr. Right Now".[19]
The song generally received favourable reviews by the music critics, CBBC Newsound collected public reviews of the song by preteens and teenagers between the ages of 11 and 14. It was described by some as "individual" and "humming tune". "Get Right" was noted for being extremely catchy, with several claiming it "got stuck" in their heads. "It's one of the really rubbish annoying trumpety tunes that get stuck in your head for ages", said one preteen, while another commented, "I really like this song it's one of her good songs and wicked to boogie to at a party".[11] At the Teen Choice Awards, the song was nominated for "Best R&B/Rap Track" as well as "Choice Party Starter".[citation needed]
"[Harrison] turns a couple of notes from Maceo Parker into something both simpler and more chaotic than your average R&B hit. That little saxophone riff is a raucous distraction that refuses to fade into the background".
Jack Smith of BBC News called it "older-than-old-skool brass" while comparing it to Beyonc's music.[21] Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times called the song "memorable", crediting the general success of Rebirth during its first week of availability to "one of the year's most unusual R&B songs". Sanneh praised its saxophone line which allowed it to sound "like nothing else on the radio".[9]The Guardian's Alexis Petridis lauded the song, describing it as "brilliant", with "an almost ruthless precision".[22] Mike Schiller of PopMatters noted the single to be "more jazzy and funky than a Jennifer Lopez song has any right to be". Schiller said she kept the song "simple", containing "infectious horns and a simple backbeat" which "manages the feat of being the grooviest dance track Lopez has released since J.Lo's 'Play'."[23] In a mixed review, Commonsensemedia's Kathi Kamen Goldmark said the song, "percolates with manic horn riffs and the kind of infectious energy that makes thin vocals irrelevant."[24] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine agreed, while criticizing her voice, said the "incessant Maceo Parker horn loop of 'Get Right' is obnoxious at best".[25] Although also criticizing Lopez's vocals, Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club wrote:
Her first musical release in nearly two years, "Get Right" allowed Lopez to re-enter the media spotlight immediately upon its release.[27] The song debuted at number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of January 22, 2005, winning the chart's "Hot Shot Debut of the Week" honor. It was successful as a digital download, debuting at 16 on the US Digital Songs chart that week.[28] Two weeks later, "Get Right" had reached the Hot 100's top 40, jumping to number 28. It reached number six on the Digital Songs chart, while also appearing at number 28 on the US Hot 100 Airplay.[29] By February 12, 2005, the song had reached a new high of number 13 on the Hot 100 as well as number five on the Digital Songs chart. However, it failed to progress on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, stalling above the top 25.[30] For the week ending February 26, 2005, "Get Right" peaked at number 12 on the Hot 100. This made it her first lead single that failed to reach the chart's top ten.[31] Additionally, "Get Right" reached number one on the US Hot Dance Club Play and number 18 on the US Pop Songs chart.[32][33] The song was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America for shipments of 500,000 units.[34]
Elsewhere, the single reached the top ten of most major music markets, over 18 countries. In the Republic of Ireland, "Get Right" debuted at the top of the Irish Singles Chart.[39] It experienced similar success in Italy, where it debuted at the top of the Italian Singles Chart, and remained in the top ten of the chart for ten weeks.[40] In Belgium, "Get Right" peaked at number two on the Wallonia and number three in Flanders.[41] In France, the song entered at number three on the French Singles Chart at number three on February 13, 2005.

The music video for "Get Right" was shot over the weekend of November 20, 2004. It was directed by Francis Lawrence, who had previously directed the music videos for Lopez's previous singles "Waiting for Tonight" (1999) and "Play" (2001).[48] The clip is "a dance version" of Robert Altman's comedy-drama film Short Cuts (1993). It was reported to examine "all the little moments that happen almost simultaneously in a nightclub during the duration of a single song, in which J. Lo is always the center of the story".[1] A cloned Lopez portrays a DJ, a "diva" Jennifer who is "detached" in a VIP section, as well as patrons on a girl's night out and a bartender among numerous other characters.[1][49] The entertainer worked with The Talauega Brothers for the music video's choreography.[50] While Lopez was filming the music video, her friend and comedian Ellen DeGeneres made a humorous visit to the clip's set in Los Angeles, California. She danced with Lopez and her dancers, while making a "mess" out of the dance steps.[51] Months later, DeGeneres' visit to the set was aired on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where Lopez appeared as a featured guest.[52]
