Song Information
The song was written by Jackson, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The song became as famous for the fantasy-infused music video that was filmed to promote it. The video, directed by Peter Smillie, takes place at a Mardi Gras-like carnival. Jackson, her dancers, and guests have fun on their escapade, moving from day to night. The song peaked at number one for three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 3, 1990, Jackson's third number-one single. It also hit number one on the R&B/Hip Hop Singles & Tracks chart and was certified gold.
