Jimmy Jam stated in an interview, "When you’re young, you feel like: “I can change the world! I’m going to lead the revolution!” And then you look 25 years later and you go: “OK, I should have known better. Janet addresses her naivety about this on the song and how she learned from this experience to have a more nuanced take on social justice issues. Looking back now and to many reading this could take this statement as supporting a color blind society, which in time many cultural figures believe that is in of itself a form of racism. This is Janet reflecting on her activism and world view, specifically with how she wanted to deal with racism by making the world a place without color. Just can't feel casual about casualties no She sings in her lower register which really helps carry emotional weight. She also wishes the people who gossip about her find true happiness and says LUTFA which is Janet's sassy subtle-not so-subtle way of saying Leave Us The Fuck Alone. On this song Janet tackles the media's speculation and exaggerations of her personal life and talks about how she was able to reach true happiness by not worrying about the lies the media will say about her. It's sad when you take such a beautiful thing The songs production is very modern and can tell that it was influenced by DJ Mustard's sound at the time. In this song Janet is having fun and feeling herself! She acknowledges that she has never been afraid to challenger herself artistically and change things up, along with knowing the place she carved out for herself (and others to follow) in the pop world. In a complete "Legends Only" move Janet decides to sample her own song "I Get Lonely" from her 1997 masterpiece The Velvet Rope. That often happens actually, because there’s a creative energy to the way a singer sings something for the first time." She kept on saying, “I’m going to redo it, I’m going to redo it.” But we loved it so much we told her it was perfect. The recorded version is actually a demo vocal. She put her magic on it and sent it back. We had the melody and stuff, and we sent Missy the track. She thinks about all those aspects as we’re recording: choreography, where things will fit into her performances. The other thing was Janet wanted something uptempo, a dance record: something she could open shows with. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis later talked about this song in an interview stating, "Janet wanted to do something with Missy from the beginning of the Unbreakable album, but we realised none of the songs we had written at that point were the perfect song for her.
