"You Want This" is a
song by American singer Janet
Jackson from her fifth studio album, janet.(1993).
Released as the album's seventh single (sixth
and final in the U.S.) in August 1994, the track was written and produced by
Jackson and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The single
version, also used in the music video,
featured an additional rap verse from MC Lyte.
The single peaked at number eight on
the Billboard Hot 100 and number
nine on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and was moderately
successful internationally, making it to the top twenty in the UK, Australia,
and New Zealand. It is Jackson's least successful single in Germany to date,
peaking at number ninety.
The video was
directed by Keir McFarlane in August 1994. Loosely based on Russ Meyer's
1965 film Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, it
centers around Jackson and her friends encountering two men. Set at a motel on
the desert and featuring car chases, it also contains a dance routine towards
the end. Two versions of the video, one black-and-white and the other
colorized, are available on the 1994 video compilation janet. The
colorized version is featured on the repackage of 2001's All for You as well as
the 2004 DVD From janet. to Damita Jo: The
Videos.
Miss Jackson @ the apex of her charms.
