context_page_description: "If You Had My Love" is the debut single by American actress and singer Jennifer Lopez. It was released on May 11, 1999 as the lead single from her debut album On the 6. The song was written by LaShawn Daniels, Cory Rooney, and its producer Rodney Jerkins. Michael Jackson had also showed interest in recording it, but he felt that it was better suited for a female singer. "If You Had My Love" is a midtempo pop and R&B song that also features Latin and hip hop influences. Its lyrics revolve around the beginning of a new relationship, during which Lopez confronts her admirer with a number of ground rules.
  Critics reacted positively to "If You Had My Love", praising its "silky groove" and "edgy" production. Upon its release, it generated instant attention and became a commercial success, peaking at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks. It became one of the best-selling singles of 1999, selling over 1.2 million units in the US alone. It was also an international success, topping the charts in Australia, Canada, Finland, Greece, Hungary and New Zealand.
context_section_description: Lopez performed "If You Had My Love" at the 5th Blockbuster Entertainment Awards which were held on June 26, 1999. That December, she performed the Darkchild remix of the song at the VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards, where she also won the award for "Fashionable Female Artist." In September 2001, performed it again during her Let's Get Loud concerts in Puerto Rico, which were her first full shows.
  Lopez included "If You Had My Love" on the set list of her 2007 co-headlining concert tour with then-husband Marc Anthony, which was her first tour. At her October 2011 Mohegan Sun concert celebrating the casino's 15th anniversary, Lopez performed an acoustic version of "If You Had My Love." The stage was lit by blue and surrounded by dry-ice smoke, with Lopez asking the audience, "You want to talk about love?" as she introduced the song. It was reported that Lopez "broke down" in tears after the performance. Lopez once again performed a "stripped down" acoustic version of the song throughout her 2012 Dance Again World Tour. Describing it as the "first real intimate moment of the show," she wanted to perform a "pared down" version of the song so that it would feel like a conversation, "like I'm talking with the audience, sharing where I began and where I find myself now." Gerrick Kennedy of the Los Angeles Times wrote that while "Live ballads still aren't firmly in her wheelhouse," she "sounded best" during the acoustic performance. Michele Amabile Angermiller of The Hollywood Reporter called the performance "a sweet and intimate moment," adding: "Sometimes, simply delivering a song without all the bells and whistles is enough."
  At the Dubai World Cup in March 2014, Lopez performed a striptease in which she had "If You Had My Love" woven in with her song "Girls". She described the performance as burlesque-esque. "If You Had My Love" serves at the opening number in her Las Vegas residency, Jennifer Lopez: All I Have, which commenced in 2016. The performance was preceded by an "ethereal, fairy-tale overture," where female dancers in showgirl costumes were suspended above the stage. Lopez wore a crystal-encrusted sparkly bodysuit and a white feathered robe. The Guardian writer Eve Barlow called it a "dazzling opening." The song was also incorporated into the striptease segment later in the show, where she "writhed around a chaise lounge."
  Lopez performed the "Pablo Flores Remix" version of the song as part of her medley during the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards on August 20, 2018 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
