Two of Janet's first and most successful ballads.
"Let's Wait Awhile" comes from Control and "Come Back to Me" was released from Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814.
Although arguably not the best ballads of Janet's career, these were the first two that were mega successful.
Make your choice - and discuss.

Hmm... love both, but I'd probably go with "Let's Wait Awhile." There's just something extra-nostalgic about it.

COME BACK TO ME! It has always been my favorite song from my queen. There's something very haunting and beautiful about it that pulls me in.
The arrangement for the Abandoned Heart Mix is so lush! It puts more emphasis on her vocals. Those strings tug at my heart!

Come Back To Me for me, too. It's gorgeous.
I still love Let's Wait Awhile, though.

"Let's Wait Ahile" is really beautiful; great bridge, great vocal performance and a lovely message to boot.
However, "Come Back To Me" is my second favorite Janet song behind "Lonely" so I will go with that one. There was a time that I was addicted to that song and I would just listen to it for hours. I love everything about it... Janet's harmonies, the haunting intro... and my God those strings are to die for. If only she, Jimmy & Terry would create another ballad in this vein! Few ballads, in general, manage to capture that essence, that magic, ballads pre-00's possessed.

Love both but I prefer "Come Back to Me"
The remix/single versions are the default versions for me.

I really love both, but I'll pick Come Back. Lets Wait Awhile makes me feel.....too innocent. 🤗
