I'm Glad

"I'm Glad"
Song

"I'm Glad" is the third single from Jennifer Lopez's third studio album, This Is Me... Then (2002), released in 2003 and co-written by Andre "mrDEYO" Deyo (who wrote Jenny From The Block). The song did not follow the success of her previous two singles, peaking at number thirty-two on the Billboard Hot 100, but its Paul Oakenfold remix became a club hit in the U.S. The song samples Schoolly D's 1986 song "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?".

The music video was directed by David LaChapelle. The choreography by Jeffrey Hornaday was adapted from his work for the 1983 film Flashdance starring Jennifer Beals, whose character, Alexandra Owens, is also a construction worker by day and a dancer at night. Jennifer wore the same outfit that Beals wore in the actual film and she also stated that this was one of her most complicated videos and that a lot of effort was put in it. The video was nominated for four MTV Video Music Awards in 2003: Best Female Video, Best Dance Video, Best Choreography, and Best Art Direction.
