"Hold You Down" is the second and final single from Jennifer Lopez's fourth studio album, Rebirth (2005). Released in 2005, the single — which features rapper Fat Joe — peaked at number sixty-four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and at number six in the UK. Also there is an "Eliel Remix" featuring Don Omar, which did well on reggaeton and hip-hop radio stations. The song also appears on Fat Joe's sixth studio album All or Nothing.

Although the song didn't achieve the same success as "Get Right", it was a modest success in some parts of the world. The song was produced mainly by Cory Rooney, who has worked with Lopez in the past. However, many people blamed "Hold You Down"'s choice as a single for Rebirth's average sales. Hold You Down heavily samples Shirley Murdock's 80's hit "As We Lay".

The music video for the song, directed by Diane Martel and edited by Paul Martínez, was shot in March 2005 in the Bronx, New York City. Lopez is seen singing on top of a building and in a hallway, while Fat Joe is seen roaming the streets. The video peaked at number five on MTV's Total Request Live.
