Who can tell you
The promise of you
Will you
Live up to
The promise of you

Gotta stop
Say a prayer
I’m in shock
Can’t believe you just said
I’m nothing
Who are you
Judging me
‘Cause I don’t think like you
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Who can tell you
The promise of you
The beautiful flower
That just hasn’t bloomed
You’re judging the surface
But what’s growing inside
Just might amaze you

Bring it on
I’m prepared
Say I can’t
But I don’t even care
Doing things
You couldn’t dream
So just watch
While I keep doin’ me
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Say a prayer

Don’t recreate me as a clone
Won’t accept no as I go
Gotta vision all my own
I’ll control
The promise of you

Call me strange
I’m unique
No disrespect
I dance to my own beat
‘Cause I know
It’s up to me
Yeah to be
The promise I vow to keep
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

Janet Damita Jo Jackson is an iconic R&B/pop artist who has sold over 100 million records worldwide and has amassed a number of awards in her illustrious music career.

Born in Gary, Indiana on May 16, 1966, Janet is the youngest of the Jackson family, who rose to prominence a few years after her birth when they signed with Motown Records. Janet joined the family business when she appeared on The Jacksons variety show in 1976, leading to her role as Penny Gordon in Season 5 of the CBS sitcom Good Times. She released two overlooked albums in the early 1980s—Janet Jackson (1982) and Dream Street (1984)—and continued to act during this time, appearing in Diff'rent Strokes and Fame.

The legend of Janet was created after she connected with the legendary Minneapolis production duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to work on her seminal third album, Control. Control and her following album, 1989’s Rhythm Nation 1814, featured several #1 pop hits and made her a worldwide superstar. The trio would go on work on Janet’s subsequent hit albums, including janet., The Velvet Rope, as well as her 2015 comeback album, Unbreakable.
