6 years after my original comment, I can appreciate this from a marketing/A&R standpoint. It was a rather sly way to gather core support. I still maintain surprise that it was as big there as it was (and it wouldn't have hit #1 on Billboard R&B without the extra points from the physical single they did (a major rarity in by this point)), but they knew what they were doing.
Still boring as hell though.

This was definitely a bore. I actually think it's my least favorite first single of hers, besides the ones from her first two albums.

EVERYTHING. The bridge is my favorite part. The bridge is very good! This is cute for what it was. I wish the video had more of a around the way feel to it.

This was disappointing to me and the first (and only) time I felt like a Janet single sounded more like somebody else's single - especially for a lead.
It's not a terrible song, it's just forgettable.

Decent song, but was never really her best single. So Excited should have been the lead single.

This is such a snooze. It's not terrible, but I never have any desire to listen to it.

I remember when this premiered in Boston I was in the car with my friend her daughter and daughters boyfriend. We were all pretty pumped before it came on being it was Janet and Nelly. By the end of the song everyone was just like, Oh that was umm ok I guess….. I ended up getting used to it and like it. However if they wanted Urban airplay I still think something with more Ump could have been done between the two of them and got play. Even though it did well there I think it still put a damper on the era. I loved the 20 year old era btw and like at least 6 or 7 tracks more than this on the album.
