I LOVED it at the time. It's lost a lot of it's freshness, and I prefer "Someone To Call My Lover", so I don't listen to it too much anymore, but it's still fun when I do.

It's fun, fits right in with other carefree, uptempo Janet tracks- but it's not up there with the best of her material. It's really something that could have been on the Janet Jackson album (not that that's a bad thing).

One of her best songs, ever. How can a song have SO many hooks? Literally every part of this song is catchy and perfect. The production, the melodies, harmonies, lyrics, and her sweet voice ugh. One of the best pop songs ever. "Tell me I'm the only one, come over here and getchya some" ... I also LOVE how she sings the verses, so much energy and personality.

The future was supposed to sound like this, Brandy's Full Moon album and Aaliyah's self-titled.

Love it! Loved it from the first time I heard it. I prefer the video mix with the dance breakdown.
Who would have thought after having such a huge hit with this she'd have her last big hit only a few months later?

I just listened to "The Glow of Love" and I never realized just how heavily that this song sampled it. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis always know how to affectively use samples, especially in their work with Janet.

I don't love it but I like it. Also, the earlier wave of Auto-Tune.

Perfect first single. She killed this at the ICON special.

This is one of those songs that I can appreciate the commercial potential of for its time, but it has never ever clicked with me. Not once. It's always just bored me.
Probably my least favorite hit from her.

Fun song. It's definitely her best single of the '00s.

A well written song, she gave a great vocal and it's catchy. But it never really took it all the way there for me. It was a little too glossy and way too reliant on that sample. I don't listen to this anymore.

Still love it to this day. I had a thought of what song I'd like to hear when I'm passing on someday and this is actually what came to mind of all things.

This is perfection and it hasn't dated at all. Always puts me in a good mood.

It really has aged very well. The emphasis of the sample helps in that regard.

I love this more than Doesn't Really Matter, and if there's a song by her better than that it has to be pretty good. Glad it was successful.

I can't really say anything bad about it, but it's not a Janet song I find myself revisiting. It's very exuberant and shimmery, and slick as a whistle (as are many of her songs)... but ultimately doesn't do much for me. I feel the same way about "You Want This", for example.
If I want this kind of upbeat, happy song from Janet to shake it like a white boy, I throw on "Escapade" - that song gets me every time. I love the production and the vocals/melody.

Hands down my least favorite single from her, but I know every word. It's very catchy and I appreciate it, but it just annoys the hell out of me, LOL.

I don't listen to this anymore. I still stand by this, but I've really been getting into the Thunderpuss mix lately. I prefer it. Makes it more hard-hitting and it fixes my issue with the sample.
