Harrison in 2012
"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.
Usher recorded "Ride" with Rich Harrison. Harrison later gave it to Lopez as "Get Right" without his consent.
