The song was written by LaShawn Daniels, Cory Rooney, and its producer Rodney Jerkins. Michael Jackson had also showed interest in recording it, but he felt that it was better suited for a female singer. "If You Had My Love" is a midtempo pop and R&B song that also features Latin and hip hop influences. Its lyrics revolve around the beginning of a new relationship, during which Lopez confronts her admirer with a number of ground rules.
