Jennifer Lopez - If You Had My Love - CD single cover | |||||||||||||||
"If You Had My Love" is the first single from Jennifer Lopez's debut album, On the 6. Released in 1999, the single peaked at number one in the U.S., becoming Lopez's first number-one single; it also peaked at number four in the UK. The song is well-known for its voyeuristic music video, which was considered groundbreaking at the time.
The song was written by Rodney Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, Cory Rooney, and LaShawn Daniels and produced by Rodney Jerkins. In her debut single, Lopez is on the brink of sealing a relationship with a man she is interested in. However, before they can become a couple, she lays out some ground terms: she won't tolerate cheating and she needs to feel true love or it's got to go. She also wonders if he knew if his love was untrue, would he lie to her and still call her "baby". Her insecurities build up to the point where Lopez questions, "If you had my love, and I gave you all my trust, would you comfort me?". The song is similar to another Rodney Jerkins production, the similary titled "If I Gave Love" by Chanté Moore. "If You Had My Love" debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in the week of May 15, 1999, impressively jumping from number sixty-four to number eight two weeks later. The single reached the top spot on June 12, 1999, and stayed there for five consecutive weeks. The single was one of the most popular dance-pop singles of the summer of 1999, remaining on the top ten for fifteen weeks. | |||||||||||||||
