Music Video
The video, directed by Dave Meyers, takes place in a colorful two-dimensional world. Released in July 2001, it revolves around Jackson flirting with a man whom she first meets on the subway. Jackson and her dancers perform high-octane choreography throughout the video which also features a dance break which contains samples a few different songs. They are sister Rebbie Jackson's 1984 song "Centipede", Jackson's own 1986 hit song "The Pleasure Principle", her 1998 single "Go Deep", and Shannon's 1983 song "Let the Music Play". The video ends with Jackson spotting the same man near a nightclub, who smiles at her; she waves at him before turning to leave.
The video was nominated for Video of the Year, Best Female Video, Best Dance Video, and Best Choreography at the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards. It appears on the DVD edition of All for You—which also contains an exclusive live performance of the song from mtvICON—as well as the 2004 DVD From janet. to Damita Jo: The Videos.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator—the commodity form. The music of the soul is also the music of salesmanship. Exchange value, not truth value, counts.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
