Song Information
The song's original Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis-produced version appears on Jackson's The Velvet Rope album, whereas a remix featuring BLACKstreet was produced by Teddy Riley and released in addition to the original version as an alternate single. The song was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 1999 Grammy Awards, but lost out to Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)". In 1998 Jackson performed this song on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, the "TMF Awards show" and the Soul Train awards show. It was also included in concerts on Jackson's worldwide The Velvet Rope Tour, using the same choreography as that of the music video, and later on the Rock Witchu Tour. It was also included in her 2011 tour, Number Ones: Up Close and Personal.

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or information:
“She sang a song that sounds like life; I mean it was sad. Délira knew no other types of songs. She didn’t sing loud, and the song had no words. It was sung with closed lips and it stayed down in one’s throat.... Life is what taught them, these Negresses, to sing as if they were choking back sobs. It is a song that always ends with a beginning anew because this song is the picture of misery, and tell me, does misery ever end?”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
