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:
“In benevolent natures the impulse to pity is so sudden, that like instruments of music which obey the touch ... you would think the will was scarce concerned, and that the mind was altogether passive in the sympathy which her own goodness has excited. The truth is,—the soul is [so] ... wholly engrossed by the object of pity, that she does not ... take leisure to examine the principles upon which she acts.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
