I had totally forgotten about this song until jazzysoul brought it up in a NKOTB thread.
This was a popular album cut from Janet's 5xp Control album.

You can slay. Life.
I love every song from Control, but I've always thought this was the weakest track.

It's OK, though I can see why this was never released as a single.

I never heard about this being a popular album track. It was one of two tracks on the album that weren't released as singles anywhere, yes?
It's alright as filler, but not much more.

This and "He Doesn't Know I'm Alive" are the weak links on this album, but I prefer this of the two of them.

"Jellybean...Jellybean."
I like it. Nice funky groove to it, but I agree that it's one of the weaker tracks.

I used to hate this song for years...then one day it all clicked for me. I never skip it, I love it. She's sangin on them verses though. I like the bridge (atleast I think it's the bridge) where she goes "BETTER GET A GOOD JOB NOW!
TIME TO GO TO WORK
IF YOU WANT TO BE MINE
BETTER GET A GOOD JOB NOW
TIME TO MAKE ME HAPPY
IF YOU WANT TO BE MINE (clap your hands..)"I always thought the lyrics were "better get a good job now" but according to online sources it's "better get ON your job now"--oh well.  |

There isn't a bad song on this album IMO. This is really solid and could have easily been a single.

Eh, it's not a bad song, but it's my least favorite song on the album.
