Rebirth is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Jennifer Lopez, released on March 1, 2005 by Epic Records. Her first studio effort in three years following This Is Me... Then (2002), the R&B, Hip-hop and Pop oriented album lyrically covers topics based around love and friendship. After the release of the album, Lopez addressed the album's title as being a new beginning for herself, and critics felt it was a fresh start following her ill-fated highly publicized romance with Ben Affleck. Lopez worked with several producers on the album including Rich Harrison, Rodney Jerkins, Brandy Norwood, her then-husband Marc Anthony and long time collaborators like Cory Rooney.
Rebirth was praised for its mild tracks and noted for its production, however garnered less than favorable reviews for the music itself. Nevertheless, the record experienced international success. In the United States, the album performed moderately on the charts, debuting at the second spot of the Billboard 200, exceeding sales of 260,000 copies in its opening week, however it slowly began to flounder on the chart. It was her first album to miss the million mark in sales, and has sold around 3 million copies worldwide. Rebirth spawned the international hit single "Get Right", which topped several major music markets including the United Kingdom, becoming her biggest hit there since "Love Don't Cost a Thing". It was followed by a friendship-themed "Hold You Down" featuring rapper Fat Joe, which performed disappointingly on the charts, halting further promotion of the album.
Rebirth was listed as one of the twenty best albums of 2005 by the Brazilian website Canal Pop. It spawned the commercially successful single, "Get Right" which reached number-one in several music markets. The album's second single "Hold You Down" performed moderately but disappointingly.Rebirth is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Jennifer Lopez, released on March 1, 2005 by Epic Records.

Lopez is regarded as one of the most influential Latin entertainers of her time, credited with breaking barriers for Latino Americans in Hollywood and helping propel the Latin pop movement in music. She is also noted for her impact on popular culture through fashion, branding, and shifting mainstream beauty standards.
Lopez began her career as a dancer, making her television debut as a Fly Girl on the sketch comedy series In Living Color in 1991. She later rose to prominence as an actress, with leading roles in the films Selena (1997), Anaconda (1997) and Out of Sight (1998) establishing her as the highest-paid Latin actress. She successfully ventured into the music industry with her debut album On the 6 (1999). In 2001, she became the first woman to simultaneously have the number one album and film in the United States with her second album J.Lo and romantic comedy The Wedding Planner. She has since become known for starring in romantic comedies, including Maid in Manhattan (2002), Shall We Dance? (2004), and Monster-in-Law (2005). Lopez released two albums in 2002: J to tha L–O! The Remixes and This Is Me... Then, the former becoming the first remix album to top the US Billboard 200.
Media scrutiny and the failure of her film Gigli (2003) preceded a career downturn. Her subsequent albums included Rebirth (2005) and Como Ama una Mujer (2007); the latter broke first-week sales records for a debut Spanish album. In 2011, Lopez returned to prominence as a judge on American Idol and released the album Love?. In the latter 2010s, she performed a concert residency, starred in the police drama series Shades of Blue (2016–2018), served as a judge on World of Dance (2017–2020), and garnered critical praise for her performance in the crime drama Hustlers (2019). She has since starred in the films Marry Me (2022), The Mother (2023) and This Is Me... Now: A Love Story (2024).
With over 80 million records sold, Lopez's most successful singles include: "If You Had My Love", "Waiting for Tonight", "Let's Get Loud", "Love Don't Cost a Thing", "I'm Real", "Ain't It Funny", "Jenny from the Block", "All I Have", "Get Right", and "On the Floor". Her accolades include a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Billboard Icon Award and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. She has been ranked among the 100 most influential people in the world by Time and the World's 100 Most Powerful Women by Forbes. Her other ventures include a lifestyle brand, beauty and fashion lines, fragrances, a production company, and a charitable foundation.
