While the blurred lines between IRL events and creative license mean it’s not easy to pinpoint the full extent of the toxicity described in “Rebound,” for the most part, this song is a very straightforward one. So much so, in fact, that some critics have slammed it for being too basic. However, Jennifer Lopez is well aware that it’s fairly well spelled out. In fact, that’s one of the things she loves most about it.
Speaking of its simple yet relatable message with Apple Music, she laughed, “It’s such a perfectly, for me, written song. Like, you hear it, and you understand, ‘Yup, that’s what it is, that’s exactly what it is.’” Lopez also shared the part of the song that she personally resonated with the most. “Ran into your arms, running from the pain,” she grimaced into the distance, still chuckling.
It’s precisely that acknowledgment that makes the final line of the song so fitting. “It is what it is,” Lopez concludes as the music ends. “Rebound” is a simple song, with lyrics that are admittedly controversial yet easy to understand and relatable to many. It might not describe the greatest of situations, but at the end of the day, when both parties know what’s going on, it is what it is.
