Day and night, night and day imo My 2nd favorite Janet song, behind "I Get Lonely". I love the Brothers in Rhythm mixes.

I love this, even though I can't understand a single word she's saying in the verses.

Despite the fact she's basically whispering in the verses, it's a great song, especially in the production department.

It's interesting that this peaked higher on the Billboard R&B chart than on the Hot 100.

A Damita highlight. Would be nice if it got more recurrent airplay (it barely gets any), but that could be said about Janet's catalog, in general.

I remember when I heard this song it took me from a casual fan and turned me into a hardcore fan up until Aaliyah came out Janet was my favorite non vocalist.

I still like it.
Janet was on fire during that era.

^How so? It's a fact that her level of recurrent airplay is not all that high. I pointed out that "If" (and other JJ songs) should get more recurrent play then they do. Your shade-ar must be off. (but, that's the case every now and then with interpretations of some of my posts)

I really need to get the janet. remixed album! I love 90s remixes, as they're usually much better than the shite that are commissioned remixes today. I haven't enjoyed an extended club mix since Peter Rauhofer's "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" remix for Whitney.

Love the video Choreography is great. I used to dance to it. The song is just ok for me now ... but 20 years ago, it was huge
Remember her live performance of it on MTV awards

Still love this! Everything about the song was perfect from the sensual delivery of the vocals to the merging of Rock, Dance, and R&B, the tight choreography, the outfits, and the video. I really need to get the janet. remixed album! I love 90s remixes, as they're usually much better than the shite that are commissioned remixes today. I haven't enjoyed an extended club mix since Peter Rauhofer's "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" remix for Whitney. That Janet remix collection is nearly perfect! It's too hard to fit all the good mixes from that era on there as there were so many, but they did a great job.

Amazing. This is probably my favorite Janet song at this point, completely alluring, fierce, magnetic energy, everything.

Love this, especially the bridge. This is also one of the best-choreographed Pop/R&B numbers of all time. Tina really knew what she was doing.

How on earth this only peaked at #4 will forever haunt me as this is the best Janet track since....ever? No really...it's one of my all time favorite songs and it sounds epic LIVE! Wow! I would have died to be at the janet. concert back then.

I'm pretty sure this is the video that turned me gay. I remember, I would save up all the money in my piggy bank to be able to rent the 'janet.' VHS at Hollywood video. I never for the life me knew what a smooth and shiny was though. This is Janet's hottest moment on film EVER.
That moment when she walks down the steps....oh my GOD.
The background vocals really brought me into the song as well, the 'oooh wa wa's' during the prechorus. I love that they isolated them for the Brother in Rhythm remixes.
Words can't explain how much I seriously love this woman:

I love this, epic production. Still to this day, I don't understand how this peaked at #4. I'm curious as to what blocked her from going higher.
The video is of course ICONIC. I prefer the original video that had more club scenes, the only one that seems to get played anymore is the dance edit.

My favorite Janet Jackson song hands down. On radio this got stuck behind "Dreamlover" at No. 2 for six weeks.

This has one of my favorite sample uses ever. The video for this is my first memory of Janet. It's between this and Anytime... for my favorite single from this album. She had an incredible run in her prime.
