On her 53rd birth anniversary, here's a rundown of Jennifer Lopez's most iconic songs:

If You Had My Love: The song was part of 'On the 6', released in 1999. This turned out to be one of the most successful tracks of the album.

Waiting For Tonight: This was another hit track from Jennifer Lopez’s first album. The dance song instantly became a party favourite in the US. It soon caught on in other nations as well.

I’m Real: The song 'I’m Real' from J.Lo (2001) became a massive hit. Jennifer Lopez’s outfit in the video, a Juicy Couture tracksuit, has become one of her most popular looks. For this song, she teamed up with American rapper Ja Rule. A few years ago, Lopez revealed that they had shot the music video in one day.

Love Don’t Cost A Thing: This song, also from the second album, remains one of the singer’s most recognisable hits. Her beach look from the music video received much attention.

Jenny from the Block: This song was part of her 2002 album 'This Is Me'. The video of the song features her future husband Ben Affleck. Back then, the two were dating. This song is probably the most synonymous with Jennifer Lopez.

Ain’t It Funny: While the original version of the song received appreciation from music lovers, it’s the remix version that really created ripples. The revamped version of 'Ain’t It Funny' remained at the top of the Billboard charts for six weeks in 2002. For the remix, she collaborated with rappers Caddillac Tah and Ja Rule.

Get Right: This famous track from her fourth studio album, 'Rebirth', spread the magic of her pop dance songs yet again. Released in 2005, the song made it into every party playlist.

What Did You Do: Originally released in Spanish in 2007, the song was written and produced by her ex-husband Marc Anthony. A Spanish version, 'Que Hiciste', made it to the Billboard Hot 100 list. She performed the song on American Idol, becoming the first artist to ever perform a Spanish song on the reality TV show.

On The Floor: She recorded this song for her seventh studio album, 'Love?' (2011). It features rapper Pitbull. The song has been remade in a few other languages, including Spanish. In fact, it became the most popular track of 2011 in countries such as Austria, Finland, Germany, Spain and Switzerland. It sold over eight million copies worldwide in 2011, becoming the best-selling single of that year by a female artist.

Dance Again: This 2012 song was released a year after her divorce from Marc Anthony. It gives the message of living life to the fullest. It inspired the title of her ‘Dance Again’ world tour and also a corresponding HBO documentary.
