\n\tForty years later, Janet Jackson<\/a> is still in Control<\/em>. The musician celebrated the milestone anniversary of her groundbreaking third studio album on Instagram. She shared a compilation of footage from throughout the album\u2019s era set to the monologue she delivers on the title track.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThis is a story about control\/My control\/Control of what I say\/Control of what I do\/And this time, I\u2019m gonna do it my way,\u201d Jackson said on the song. \u201cI hope you enjoy this as much as I do\/Are we ready?\/I am\/\u2019Cause it\u2019s all about control\/And I\u2019ve got lots of it.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cHappy 40th Control!\u201d Jackson captioned the post, which also tagged producers Jimmy Jam<\/a> and Terry Lewis<\/a>. While recording the record together, Jam and Lewis saw \u201cNasty\u201d as the pivotal moment that allowed them to go all in on the album. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWhen she went in to sing it, she started singing it in the [high] Janet voice we all know. And we said, Janet, what if you sang it an octave lower? And she said, \u2018Oh, I don\u2019t know, that sounds really weird,’\u201d Lewis told Rolling Stone <\/a><\/em>in 2021. \u201cAnd then I remember the next day she came to the studio and we played it back for her. And she got this look on her face. It\u2019s the best look an artist could ever give you, that look of surprise and satisfaction. And that was the thing that fueled us, because \u2018Nasty\u2019 was one of the earlier songs we did in making Control.<\/em> That kind of took off of the any apprehension she had, any nervousness. She knew we had her back.\u201d<\/p>\n
