God I could listen to this song all my life and never get tired if it! I love the catchy beat and lyrics to it. I love that entire album difinetly a hidden gem. She should have been given more credit for it
Love Janet ya'll but this is a sample from Evelyn Champaign King's 1981 classic "I'm in Love". I know Miss Jackson is a Diva Icon and I have followed her career, but she should stick with original material. After all her family is legendary and they don't need to copy off other artists. Just sayin!! That being said....LONG LIVE MICHAEL!! :)
@80s4ever63 your so stupid she is a great artist no matter what she does this is actually one of her best songs and fyi it was genius of her to use the sample and also she is legendary 2 and what the hell that got 2 do with this song. thank you
Damita Jo was NOT her worst album. One of her most underrated in fact. The only reason why it underperformed was because of that Super Bowl Incident in 2004.
All you so called Janet fans are fake fans if you think janet does sloppy work calling her album Damita Jo one of her Worst? Its Janet's origanl sound Dance ,Pop & R&B With a little bit of love grooves! So you haterS dissing janets album need to understand janet makes music because its a FUN natural thing to her and her REAL FANS KNOW THIS!!!!
janet mesed up when she got jermaine dupri to produce her albums..i understand that he was her boyfriend but come on.. you dont mix business with pleasure... she should have stuck with jimmy jam and terry lewis. notice.. any album of hers that came out before control wasnt that good, and any album that came out after she started dating jermain dupri was even worse, 20 y.o. had a couple of good songs, and discipline..well..feedback and rock with u were pretty much it.
@michaeljacbabe15 you DO know that Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were still the main producers on both Damita Jo and 20 YO, right? I agree Jermaine Dupri wasn't the best person to get as a consultant/executive producer but at the same time he DID give her a number 1 single (Call on Me) since "All For You"...the only album without Jimmy Jam and Terry is Discipline and we ALL agree that was a hot mess. 20 YO was weak in moments, but Damita Jo was VERY artistic.
@darealestn09 i know damita jo was artistic..did u see the comment i put before the last one? :) but terry lewis, jimmy jam, AND jermaine dupri were the main producers, not just jimmy and terry.
in my opinion,Damita Jo would have been right up there with confessions back in'04 if it wasnt for that super bowl incident (even though it wasnt her fault)
@infamousbrooklyn lol when I heard the 20 y.o album, I thought to myself, ''this is how Janet celebrates 20yrs?'' I felt like she rushed her last two albums & there wasn't enough creative input put into those albums & let's not forget that Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis didn't get to do much on those albums except one or two tracks. Janet had a generation of new producers on those albums but I prefer that she stuck with Jam & Lewis because they created magic on ''Control'' & ''Rhythm Nation''
Exactly ! Huge disappointment, Alls I'm saying is please if Janet comes out with an album after this tour and it sounds like 20 Y.O and Discipline I don't think I can take it! Please
After the title track "Damita Jo", this was the only track off the CD that I loved !!! I wish this was the 1st release from that CD, it would have definitely gotten more attention !!!
Damita Jo was such an underated album!! with songs such as r'n'b junkie and all night (dont stop) how could they possibly describe it as Janets worst artistic effort since1984's Dream Street???
