About This Track

“You” is a song by American singer Janet Jackson from her sixth studio album, The Velvet Rope (1997). It was released as the album’s fifth single in September 1998. “You” contains a sample from War’s 1972 song “The Cisco Kid”, penned by Harold Brown, Sylvester Allen, Morris Dickerson, Howard Scott, Leroy Jordan, Lee Oskar, and Charles Miller. Although the single received a promo release in the United Kingdom, it was ineligible to chart there. The Japanese commercial release includes a B-side from The Velvet Rope called “Accept Me”, a song about a woman begging acceptance from her lover, family, and the world. The song would also be released on follow-up single “Every Time”.

The song lyrics were alleged to have been written as a message to Jackson’s brother Michael Jackson with whom she had a conflict after they made a collaboration on 1995’s “Scream”.

    I could see how it could be interpreted to be about Michael. But as far as we know, the entire album is about her and no one else.

    Woah..just realized this song is all about Micheal. JJ and MJ had a bit of a conflict after they did "Scream' together in 95. Check the lyrics.

    I quite like this song as its R&B and rock sound, catchy melody and lyric, and sampled The Cisco Kid by War~
