Background
The song was the lead single from the Universal Pictures film Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, in which Jackson co-starred with actor Eddie Murphy and was used as the official theme song for the movie. It became Jackson's ninth number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and first in the 2000s, staying atop for three weeks, and also making Jackson the first artist in history to score number-one singles in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. An alternate mix of the song was later included on Jackson's seventh studio album, 2001's All for You. Jackson performed this version at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The song was used in the dance video game Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova, and was covered in Japanese by Hitomi Shimatani and re-titled "Papillon" (Jackson's character's name). Jackson performed the song on her All for You Tour, Rock Witchu Tour and Number Ones: Up Close and Personal.
