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's film Gigli. The music itself is standard Lopez fare, '80s-tinged urban pop and funk (see 1980s in music) 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." A moniker (or monicker) is a pseudonym, or cognomen, which one gives to oneself. ...

Rebirth was her worst-received album to date, selling approximately 700,000 copies in the U.S. Critical reception was mixed; comments in negative reviews were mainly focused on Lopez's weak vocal range and her reliance on overproduced material. Rolling Stone wrote "J-Lo's career hits its Gigli," referring to Lopez's notoriously poorly-received film. Still, the album did produce one modest hit, the jazzy "Get Right."

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 Dont Look Back. Lopez was reportedly stunned by her depiction, in which she was complaining angrily about the sound of her voice and verbally abusing her employees.

A few weeks after "Get Right" was released to radio stations, the song and the album became the subjects of controversy when it was discovered that the beat and some of the lyrics had plagiarised Usher's unreleased song "Ride." A few months later it was found out that the album contained another "cast off," "Ryde or Die," which was meant to be on Brandy's 2004's album Afrodisiac. Brandy's voice can apparently be heard on the song as well, but she is not credited in the album for her vocals, which further fueled the controversy.

Worlwide, the album hasn't done very well, selling less than 2 million copies. Still, it was Lopez's most successful album in Japan, where it sold more than 200,000 copies.
