"Get Right" is a song recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez for her fourth studio album, Rebirth (2005). 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, hip hop 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. Outside the United States, the song 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.

A music video for "Get Right" directed by Francis Lawrence—who previously directed her iconic "Waiting for Tonight" music video—was released on the day of the song's release. It featured Lopez playing eight different characters attending a nightclub; their short sub-storylines would all develop in the song's duration. The clip became a widespread success, becoming one of MTV's most played music videos internationally at one stage. It also received heavy airplay in the United States, and received four MTV Video Music Award nominations. Lopez has performed "Get Right" live on multiple occasions, most notably as the opening number to her 2012 Dance Again World Tour.
