context_page_description: "Get Right" is a song recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez for her fourth studio album, Rebirth. It was written by Rich Harrison, Usher Raymond 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.
  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.
context_section_description: 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. 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.  Harrison decided to rework the song for Lopez after opting to give "1 Thing" to Amerie over her. 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.
  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." 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".
