This was actually originally written and recorded for The Human League for their Crash album (which Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were producers on), but the head of A&M Records at the time loved the record so much that he felt that Jam & Lewis should keep it for the future. They chose to put it on Herb Alpert’s album and Janet loved the song so much that she wanted to sing on it and the rest is history.
For those of you looking for this song, it is on Janet’s New Number 1’s album but you have to buy the whole thing to get it. It’s worth it since everything is a hit there!
The song is actually a Herb Alpert song, featuring Janet, that’s why it’s not on any of her albums, it’s on one of his albums.
I remember MTV played the heck out of this during the summer of 1987 after I graduated high school! Now what does MTV play? Oh yeah, no music videos!
lol…..true it was.

Because she’s only a guest vocalist, this is technically Herb Alpert’s song. Plus, she was probably busy with her own music she was doing at the time.
That’s why I don’t watch it anymore, wasnt it Music Television? now it’s not
Janet didn`t show her whole body in this video becus at the time she was really fat.
cause she is not in the video i think..
I can agree about what you said about MTV. Where are the videos?
well that makes sense, well they could’ve made the video another time
because janet was sick, she wasn’t in the video at all that was a look alike
why doesn’t janet show her face, she is basically singing the whole song. but i still love this song anyway

That is a dumbass lie.
The rumored reason Janet was not in this was that it was her ‘pregnant-or-overweight’ phase (See video When I Think Of You)
i remember my mom playing this when i was 3 or 4 ,i forgot all about this song
i remember this one. great jam from the 80s. janet was on a roll.
Wow I remember this song when I was a kid. I never realized it was Janet Jackson.
