Rebirth is the fourth studio album (fifth overall) by American singer Jennifer Lopez, released in 2005 (see 2005 in music) via Epic Records.
The album's working title, Call Me Jennifer, was a response to the "J.Lo" moniker which Lopez claims gave her an unfair reputation as an over-the-top diva. The eventual title was chosen as an attempt to start a new beginning after the "Bennifer" fall-out and the immense critical and commercial failure of the 2003 film Gigli. The music itself is standard Lopez fare, '80s-tinged urban pop and funk combined with orchestral ballads. Her new husband, Marc Anthony, co-wrote and co-produced one of the album's tracks, "(Can't Believe) This Is Me".
Rebirth was also released in a DualDisc format. The DualDisc contains the album in enhanced stereo, the "Get Right" music video, the "Get Right" remix music video featuring rapper Fabolous, and a short documentary on the recording of the album. The documentary was originally shot by acclaimed director D. A. Pennebaker, who shot Bob Dylan's 1967 Dont Look Back.
The album was a commercial disappointment in the United States. Worldwide, the album sold nearly two million copies. It achieved international success, being Lopez's most successful album in Japan, where it sold more than 200,000 copies. Rebirth was also the best-selling foreign-language album in Turkey for 2005.[1] The album was also noticeably excluded from the flashback of Lopez's musical career when she appeared on American Idol in April 2007.
