♫ Janet Jackson – Make Me
♫ ALTERNATE LINK ♫
After her performing reemergence on this year’s VMA’s, Janet Jackson has given a special gift to her fans.
Before the death of her brother, Janet announced that she was working on a new studio album, a follow-up to 2008′s Discipline. It’s been said that she is collaborating with longtime friends and collaborators, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, but this track was reportedly produced by Rodney Jerkins.
Of the new material to leak is “Make Me,” which sounds like a Jam & Lewis collaborations, especially with the live instrumentation.
THE TRACK IS COOL BUT JANET NEEDS TO STEP UP HER GAME BIG TIME CUZ THIS IS NOT GONNA DO IT!
i am LOVING this. fresh Janet. the no JD way, is the best way. classic!
Top 5! I HAD to be in the top for dis one even though i know it aint dat serious but Janet crushed it last night at the VMA’s she made me REAL proud to see her doin her thing and pushing pass the pain to do her brothers music justice, i’ve always been a rider for Ms. Jackson and i hope she has the BIGGEST comebacks to be ever seen LOVE that woman and i know MJ is real proud of her and how she is handling the situation instead of vying for the spotlight like some of the rest of their family is doing…love u janet and DEFINATELY love u mike!!
Classic Janet!!! Nice gift to her fans and she did a hell of a job last night…Keep the Jackson legacy goin Ma!
THIS IS STRAIGHT UP FIRE!!!!!!!!
ANYONE SAYING OTHERWISE IS JUST HATING PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!
JANET DO YOU BOO!!!
I like it, but come on Janet I’m so excited for this new album, the first time I’ve been excited for new material from you since 01. I don’t think this great for a first single.
I like this track. I heard it earlier on her site. Looking forward to hearing more from her.
It’s a gift to her fans…no where does she say its her first single…lol…
Janet did really well last night. Her voice was so strong! The dancing part was ok but she couldve done better but since shes older i’ll give her a pass! I love Janet!
I love this..yesss Janet
I am really feeling this song. Very 80ish inspired a time when music was free and breezy. Janet I really really hope this is the official single. It is GREAT!!!!
Also saw this video someone made it is good

PRODUCED BY RODNEY JERKINS
NOT JIMMY & TERRY
I like it, but would prefer something a little less poppy for a comeback single. JMHO
Rodney Jerkins produced it….http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1621493/20090914/jackson_janet.jhtml
Love it. You can never go wrong with Janet Jam and Lewis. Cant wait for the new album next year, show these broads how its done!
Great track and it was produced by Rodney Jerkins…. He sad so last night at the VMA’s.

ooops thats a no go on the Jam and Lewis part lol, its still hot.
I love Janet but I think sometime she can be stubborn when it comes to change. I will purchase her cds but she needs to change her style a little.

Please. Janet is just milking MJ’s death for what it’s worth, just like her other siblings. I find it funny how she chose MTV (who blocked her out by blacklisting her) as her choice to do a tribute for MJ. She comes out with a song RIGHT after her VMA performance, which is just her way of trying to get accepted by radio again.
This is just a ploy for her next album. She’s hoping that MJ’s death would bring her dead career back to life.
I guess the only two smart choices she made was dropping Jermaine, and getting back with Jam, and Lewis.
Love it!!! <3
Reminds me of a Britney track.
This is a great Janet single. I think its a great gift to her dedicated fans. I love the feelings of happiness it inspires.
well damn this shit is funky as HELL!!!! Love it. JANET IS THE QUEEN OF POP!!!!! She slayed last night at the MTV awards for her big bro and I can’t wait for the new album. She is the last of the Jackson Legacy. We have to support her while she is still with us.
#18 NICHOLE,
Ugh Nichole .. if you read what was written below the song you would have noticed she announced she was working on a new album BEFORE Michael died.
I thought the same thing at first.
To Nichole
When has she ever had to milk her brother? How many times have you ever heard her talk to him, she actually had a policy of not talking about him. As much as you want to demonize the Jacksons, they lost a brother, not matter what else, it’s personal. Also, she is an artist, she expresses herself through music, would you rather she got drunk all day everyday? Show some compassion.
Correction in my note not talk “to him” but “about him”
Love her or hate her, y’all gotta admit that Janet Jackson can lay down a dance track. IMO, her last 2 albums didn’t do so well commercially b/c she strayed from the dance music that she’s known for, and dabbled in JD’s hip-hop/rap sound. She and JD have now parted ways (romantically), and with this “gift” track, it looks like Janet’s getting back to what she does best musically. I’m loving the electro-funk vibe of “Make Me,” and the little bit of disco flava is a nice nod to her late brother, Michael. If Janet’s upcoming album will have more tracks like these, I’ll definitely be copping it.
love it! and i rarely like any of the songs posted on this site…
Haven’t heard the song yet but i think we need to appreciate legends whilst their here on earth instead of pulling them down constantly. janet’s performance was inspiring, she trully is a strong and talented artist
I like this! It’s definitely 80s inspired and sounds like MJ would have done for the Off The Wall album. It looks Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are bringing the classic Janet back. I can’t wait for this new album.
@Nicole
Did you read what concretelopp wrote? It says Janet was already working on the album before michael’s death. Janet is an Artist did you really think she would hide in a hole for the rest of her life? Janet has not been on tv talking about MJ and all his personal business. She has been quite for a while and she just wanted to tribute her brother and now she has to move on with her life. Janet is an Icon / Legend on her own which is why she didn’t try to be Michael last night she was Janet. Janet has never been the one to ride on her brothers coat tails(that’s why she made control in the first place, she was breaking away from her family and doing it on her own.
Nichole I feel exactly what you’re saying and Supreme JANET JACKSON DID NOT SING LIVE LAST NIGHT SHE LIP SYNCED THE ENTIRE PERFORMANCE! You didn’t see her messing up on all of the words? It was so obviously that they were not only playing the Scream beat, but the vocals along with it. That disappointed me because if you are supposed to be such a Legend or Icon, how come you can’t sing live anymore? I am sick and tired of people so quick to feed into the hype of Janet and praise her like she’s going to succeed. She does this sh*t every year and fails every time. She has failed three times with her three “comebacks.” Don’t say she didn’t fail because even she admitted that she was very unhappy with the sales of her last albums and tours and that’s another reason why she’s been moving from record label to record label. Her dance moves are played out and I guess I was the only one who noticed that she was extremely stiff and slow during the tribute. Don’t get it twisted, Janet had every right to be up there and make a beautiful tribute to her brother, but I still gotta keep it real. Janet has accomplished many things but THERE COMES A TIME IN EVERY ARTISTS LIFE WHEN THEIR CAREER HAS ENDED. She has millions of dollars and many people inspired by her so she can SHOULD JUST REST!
Anyway, this song has a nice 80′s feel, but that’s the problem. Sounds like one of her old songs.
YESSSS!!! This is vintage Jackson music! Keep it up! If your album is like this, I’ll definitely pick it up. This reminds me of the Janet of old, that the youngins are copying now. Great tracks, good vocals, outstanding live performances. Get back to that!
I love Janet, I don’t care if she brought out a song about paper bags and saggy asses I’d still buy it.
@ TRUTHLYFULLYSPEAKING go the hell away you had, you would spoil a wet dream. SMH
UMM LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR. LAST NIGHT JANET JACKSON SANG LIVE. WHETHER YALL LIKE IT OR NOT. IF YOU LISTEN TO THE ALBUM VERSION OF SCREAM SHE SINGS A BIT HIGHER THAN WHATS SHE DID LAST NIGHT SHE HAD MORE HMPH IN HER VOCALS LAST NIGHT. AND SHE SANG IT DIFFERENT THAN THE REGULAR VERSION A LIL BIT ASWELL….
NOW TO COMMENT ON #19.
UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM JANET BEEN QUIET FOR THE MOST PART.A ND SHE WAS ALREADY WORKING ON A NEW ALBUM BACK IN JANUARY. INCLUDING MOVIE AND BOOK. JANET IS A LEGEND/ICON HER DAMNSELF. SHE DOESNT NEED MJ MONEY.
THIS SONG IS ONLY A GIFT FOR JANET FANS. ITS NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING. SHE DID THE SAMETHING BACK IN 2006 FOR HER FANS FOR THE SONG “WEEKEND”.
IF YOU DONT FOLLOW JANET OR KNOW NTH ABOUT HER I ADVISE YOU TO KEEP YA MOUTH & FONT SHUT. JANET HAS HER OWN CAREER WHY SHOULD SHE STOP CAUSE HER BROTHER DIED??????. WOULD YOU QUIT YOUR JOB IF YOUR FAMILY MEMEBER DIES? JANET GOT BILLS TO PAY ASWELL.
ANYWHO. JANET NEW SONG IS CLASSIC JANET & HAS A BIT OF A SAMPLE OF MJ “DONT STOP TILL U GET ENOUGH”.
Janet Damita Jo Jackson is the shiiiiiiiii*!
But this song is not. lol.
I know she’s coming back with FIYAH tho. The original dance diva- she’s gonna give Ciara a run for the top when she returns to the scene(no hate cuz i LOVE cici too)!!
lmaoo @ 34, why saggy asses? you are silly LOL!
#32 AKA TRUTHFULLYSPEAKING
SHUT THE HELL UP. STOP TRYING TO SAY ISH FOR SHOCK VALUE. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS SONG. IM SO SICK OF PEOPLE HATING ON JANET, BEYONCE, MARIAH, RIHANNA, CIARA, AMONG OTHER GREAT/NICE TALENTS.
IF YOU DONT LIKE WHAT JANET DOES. WHY DONT YOU GET THE HELL UP AND DO IT YOURSELF AND MAKE SURE YOUR CAREER LAST 20+ YEARS.
HATERS IT AINT GOING DOWN THIS YEAR. I WILL SHUT EVERY ONE OF YALL DOWN. LOL
YES YES YES YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OPINIONS, YES YES YES YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE THE SONG. BUT KEEP THE HATERED & CRUEL COMMENTS TO YASELF. THE HATING ON JANET IS SOOOO CORNY AND OLD NOW.
I love this song. She had a career before Micheal died. Some people can’t just sit at home and just sit there after a person dies. I love it and I will support Janet always.
Haters are always going to hate.
No matter what Janet does people is going to compare it to Micheal.
What about those people that wrote all those bad things about Micheal and when he died put covers out and we great titles so they can sell.
Janet is family, she has her own money, she don’t need Micheal fame.
She has a fan base.
STOP HATING
DO U MS JACKSON
wow this track is hot! go janet
ITS BEEN 20+ YEARS SINCE CONTROL (READ ALL OF WHAT SHE DONE IN THAT ERA)
ITS BEEN 20 YEARS SINCE RHYTHM NATION (READ ALL OF WHAT SHE DONE IN THAT ERA)
AMONG OTHER ERAS ALL THE WAY UP TO NOW. JANET CAN FLOP ALL SHE LIKES SHE ALREADY BEEN THERE & DONE THAT. HER ALBUM ALWAYS EITHER HIT NUMBER ONE OR NUMBER TWO ON THE CHARTS. HER SINGLES DONT FLOP THAT BAD THEY HAVE SOME SUCCESS ESSPECIALLY OVERSEAS.
HATERS NEEDS TO REALIZE JANET ISNT GONNA QUIT OR GO ANYWHERE. YALL WILL GET OVER IT.LOL
*ALL THE INNOCENT PEOPLE* SORRY FOR THE CAPS.LOL
Niiiice!
#38 Sean2008
YES!! Negativity is nothing but bullsh*t!!
Stop the hatin’!!!
i like it!!!
Like the tune. JJ put on a solid perf at the VMAs. It was nice to see her again.
@ Truthfully Speaking…I guess everyone’s has their on point of view, but I think you are taking things way too seriously. If any artist out there can do the throwback sound right, it is probably Janet since she hung out with the legends of Motown and yesteryear when she was just a kid. There is a freshness to this tune too. I’m anxious to hear the new album.
Also, I think technically Janet has only released two “comeback” albums after the superbowl incident. I think it probably takes a while for someone to get back in step after the entire world hates on you as much as it did her. She’s a strong woman and without a doubt an important contributor to the music industry. Some seem to only want Janet to give 110% or nothing as if she can’t put out then she should just retire…that’s silly. Cut the girl some slack, she’s been doing it for a few decades now and manages to still outshine most others.
She can do no wrong in my eyes, after that excellent tribute to MJ at the rigged vma’s. I know MJ was proud and dancing right along with his lil sis. welcome back Miss Jackson!!!
I love Janet Jackson and I love this track!!! Glad to see her working with her old friends again.
i remember b4 20 yo came out she put out a gift song to her fans…and that was weekend…it kinda gave the audience an idea of where she was going…and this sounds more in line with what we expect from janet…feel good music…more poppy then hip hop, which is the lane that under andre and jd over at def jam were tryin to get janet into…but her core has always been pop with rnb roots….so i think they are on the right path…of coarse not a first single, but ive been grooving to it all day…this is more adult then we’ve heard from her in a while….so im excited to hear whats to come….good job team janet
Hot track! Best thing from Janet in ages! I’ve had it on constant repeat since I first heard it.
@17…well she is a Taurus!
)
“TRUTHFULLY SPAEKING” u Suck BiG Time whatever you are, stop tripping. Anyway thanx JAY much appreciated. All I got to say to the haters Qoute from Janet’s TVR “dont let no body tell you you aint strong enough… Janet can’t be stopped” You know some ppl “Lip singing” my ass. Fact is Make me Rocks.
I think this track is pretty nice!! It’s somethin I can skate to in the skating rink, and I can get DOWNNN!!! I’m feelin it Janet…ready for dis new album soon. I DO expect some Terry Lewis/Jimmy Jam fire tho….
@17…well she is a Taurus!
) I don’t know what ya’ll are talking about, I like it! It feels good and sounds good! As funky as it is, it still feels warm!
I will say that the tribute was good BUT I have to agree with @TruthfullySpeaking on some things!!
I like the song,,,,,I like the 80′s feel of it.,BUT im going to BE REAL about the whole situation.,if her brother hadnt died.,some of you wouldnt be anticipating her upcoming album.,LETS BE 4REAL!!!., and ppl need to stop blaming Jermaine Dupri for her last albums not be successful…after Super Bowl and being black listed there was no where to go but down under because no one would support her let alone promote her…….
The song is a good dance song and this album will be successful only because she has gained a whole new string of fans due to her brothers death.,its sad to say but it is true……. MY OPINION!!
Good Luck Janet.,.,
P.S- Don’t be surprised if she and Jermaine get back together…..LMFAO
Oh Yeah…….and she does need to switch her style a little,,,,,,its starting to get played…..everyone is saying its “Classic Janet” but whats wrong with a little modern twist………ppl wanna hate on Madonna BUT thats one old bitch that keeps up with the times and that is why she is still goin’ strong!!!
It’s okay but she killed last night at the VMAs. Did big brother proud, despite those who said it was too short and not good. Michael loved it so who gives a fuck if anybody didn’t like it!
Classic Janet!!!
p.s. This song is a gift to her fans. Not a single for radio.
Oh me likey!!!!
I’m jamming right now to this!!! And she killed it last night! can’t wait for the new album
Incredible Janet track! Kill it Miss Jackson
this is old school, and I love it. To be honest I rarely listen to “now music” that why and never know who sings what on the radio. Old jams are the best, Janet’s goin back to that.
for those of you who assume she’s using Michael to bring her career back, she doesn’t need to do that, she’s good enough on her own, Y’ALL JUST CAN’T STOP ASSOCIATING HER WITH MIKE, and as for her later albums, Damita Jo, 20YO, and Dicipline were quality cds, ya’ll should know QUALITY DON’T SELL LIKE IT USED TO. Everyone’s into CRAP nowadays.
This song is fire……loving loving loving this song….was at the airport today jamming to this….
