Best Short Form Music Video. Jackson has performed "Got 'til It's Gone" on all of her concert tours since its release. The song was also covered by singer Marsha Ambrosius
, and was also a source for several book titles.

Background and release

In 1996, Janet Jackson renewed her contract with company Virgin Records for $80 million—the largest recording contract in history at that time and a breakthrough she achieved for the second time in her career.[1][2] She then began developing her sixth studio album, The Velvet Rope, which chronicled Jackson's struggle with depression and intimacy. In an interview for MTV, she discussed how the depression had made her frequently sad and caused her to take breaks from her music career. She felt this was heightened by her estrangement from the rest of the Jackson family.[3] Jimmy Jam was aware of Jackson's depression during the writing of the album, noticing how she would spontaneously cancel recording sessions and appear constantly troubled.[4] Jackson discussed "Got 'til It's Gone" and The Velvet Rope album during an interview with Rolling Stone, saying:

Singing these songs has meant digging up pain that I buried a long time ago. It's been hard and sometimes confusing. But I've had to do it. I've been burying pain my whole life. It's like kicking dirt under the carpet. At some point there's so much dirt that you start to choke. Well, I've been choking. My therapy came in writing these songs. Then I had to find the courage to sing them or else suffer the consequences – a permanent case of the blues.[5]

The song's

urban, rhythmic, and adult contemporary/jazz, on September 2, 1997, as the lead single from The Velvet Rope.[7][8] In the United Kingdom, Virgin released the song on September 22, 1997, as a CD single, a 12-inch vinyl single, and a cassette single.[9] Later that year, on November 10, a two-disc 12-inch single was released.[10] In Japan, a CD single was issued on October 29, 1997.[11]

Composition and lyrical interpretation

"Got 'til It's Gone" was written by Jackson,

Brand New Heavies' song "Sometimes", released a few months prior in 1997.[17] Jam spoke of the song's crossover potential, commenting, "Janet has always been one of those artists that bridges R&B and hip-hop and pop and rock". We really thought 'Got 'Til It's Gone' would be accepted [by all audiences] across the board".[18] Jackson revealed that lyrically, "Got 'Til It's Gone" is about a great life lesson she learned—appreciate what you have while you have it. When discussing the song with Jet magazine, Jackson stated, "In my life, I try to take nothing for granted, even if I don't always succeed".[19]

Jackson told why she felt compelled to combine the

rap among similar strands. Especially lyrically because you can put so much content into one song. Hip hop is great and I think it's good that it talks of the harsh realities of life in the ghettos".[21] Speaking about Q-Tip's appearance, Jackson said, "Q-Tip represents all that's creative and strong about rap. He's real and right to the point, and I loved working with him".[19] Jackson has frequently mentioned Mitchell as an influence and artist she's admired throughout her career, which led to Jackson asking Mitchell to contribute vocals to "Got 'til It's Gone". Jackson stated, "As a kid I was drawn to Joni Mitchell records. Joni's songs spoke to me in an intimate, personal way."[19] Jackson contacted Mitchell personally to ask for permission to use the sample, stating "everyone said it couldn't be done, but if [Mitchell] was going to say no to me, I had to hear it from her myself [...] I called her and told her I wanted her to hear it before she made a decision. Everybody was surprised when a couple of days later, she said yes".[22] Describing the situation, Jackson recalled, "I told her I'd like to send her a tape before she made a decision. She listened to it, and called back a few days later and said she absolutely loved it and would be honored if we did, so I was very excited".[23]

Des'ree controversy

After the release of "Got 'til It's Gone", British singer Des'ree thought the song was very similar to her own song "Feel So High" from her 1992 album Mind Adventures, and sued Jackson and the producers of the song.[24] In July 1998, she was awarded an out-of-court settlement granting her 25 per cent of the publishing royalties from the song; around £2 million. Des'ree later said that her "aim wasn't to get money out of her", but it was purely for justice, as she wanted Jackson to recognize that she had "borrowed" from her work and not given her credit.[25]

Critical reception

"Got 'til It's Gone" received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Larry Flick from Billboard magazine said that the song displays "finesse" and "marked maturity", saying, "Apparently, 'tis the season for pop divas to explore edgy hip-hop territory" and "this jam is a deftly structured study in subtle vocal styling and raw keep rhythms". During his review he also noted the departure from Jackson's upbeat pop and dance style might confuse listeners at first, though was ultimately a wise decision.[26] In its twentieth anniversary, the magazine ranked it as the 29th greatest pop song of 1997.[27] Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph approved the song as "a deliciously light confection".[28] Chris Willman from Entertainment Weekly said that the "relaxed groove" of the song is "certainly an enigmatic teaser".[29] Rob Fitzpatrick of The Guardian described it as an "absolutely sublime pop production", saying Jackson sounded "fresher than ever". Fitzpatrick also praised the song's simple production, adding the "revolutionary use of space and dynamics worked wonders on the radio and in clubs".[14] Jet magazine commented, "Janet has her fans up on the dance floor with the album's first hit Got Til It's Gone", calling Q-Tip's guest verse "street smart".[19] Elysa Gardner from Los Angeles Times also gave the track a positive review, saying the "cool, breezy hip-hop" of the single "cannily intertwines a Joni Mitchell sample and a seductive guest rap by Q-Tip."[15]

Gil Kaufman from

San Francisco Weekly classified it as "a clever pastiche" which blended well with Jackson's vocals and Q-Tip's "low-key rapping".[35] John Christopher Farley from Time magazine considered it an "R&B reworking" which "draws smartly" from the sample.[36]

Chart performance

"Got 'til It's Gone" was not released as a commercial single in the United States, making it ineligible to appear on the

Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts.[39] In Canada, the song debuted at number 41 on the RPM Singles Chart on the issue dated September 15, 1997,[40] and peaked at number 19 on November 17, 1997.[41] In Australia, "Got 'til It's Gone" debuted at number 13 on the issue dated October 5, 1997, peaking at number 10 and staying on the ARIA Charts for 15 weeks and was certified Gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for 30,000 copies shipped.[42][43] In New Zealand, it debuted at its peak of number four, staying on the chart for 12 weeks.[44] It was also certified Gold by Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ) for shipping 15,000 copies across the country.[45]

Swiss Singles Chart dated October 12, 1997, "Got 'til It's Gone" debuted at number 32. After four weeks, it peaked at number 11.[52]

Jackson wanted to work with Romanek because she believed him to be "amazing", commenting, "I gravitate toward the directors that I really fall in love with [...]". After hearing the song, Romanek decided to use African photography as a motif, creating what he called a "pre-Apartheid celebration based on that African photography". Joni Mitchell commented: "From the time [music] video began well into the late eighties there was a monstrous image of females being perpetrated without much exception. In the face of that I found this video to be full of humanity. Janet herself was lovely. It had dignity, and it was full of life".[55] Jackson stated that she was "very proud" of the video, adding it was "fun to make".[21]

In the music video, Jackson portrays a lounge singer during the time of

Afrikaan segregation signs, which represents a rebellion against discrimination and racism and a celebration of freedom and embracing unity.[56]

Reception and analysis

Complex commented on the video, saying "This is about as cool as videos get. So many incredible style references in this one it's like a moving Tumblr".[60] In the book Unruly Media: Youtube, Music Video, and the New Digital Cinema, author Carol Vernallis analyzed that despite the video's "bevy of loaded images tied to race and myth", its mood and tone are "overwhelmingly warm", drawing attention to Jackson's and Mitchell's vocal similarities.[57]

At the

Complex also placed the video at number 15 on their list of the 25 Most Stylish Hip-Hop Videos.[60]

Live performances

Hey! Hey! Music Champ.[64][65] After returning to the United States, she performed it on The Oprah Winfrey Show along with "Together Again".[66] Upon returning to her promotional tour in Europe, she performed "Got 'til It's Gone" on French TV programs Les Années Tubes,[67] Hit Machine along with "Together Again",[68] and Spanish television on TV show Música Sí.[69]

The singer has also performed "Got 'til It's Gone" on all of her tours since its release. She included the song on the 1998

The Velvet Rope Tour – Live in Concert in 1999.[73]

It was again performed on the All for You Tour in support of her follow-up album All for You in 2001 and 2002. MTV noted the absence of Joni Mitchell on the video screens, when compared to the previous performance of "Son of a Gun (I Betcha Think This Song Is About You)", when singer Carly Simon, sampled on the song, "showed up for a special video guest star appearance".[74] The February 16, 2002 final date of the tour at the Aloha Stadium in Hawaii, was broadcast by HBO, and included a performance of "Got 'til it's Gone". This rendition was also added to the setlist at its DVD release, Janet: Live in Hawaii, in 2002.[75] After a period of six years without going on tour, Jackson embarked on the 2008

Number Ones: Up Close and Personal tour.[77] Jackson also included the song on her 2015-16 Unbreakable World Tour,[78] and on her 2017-2019 State of the World Tour.[79] It is also included the song on her 2019 Las Vegas Residency Janet Jackson: Metamorphosis

Usage in media and cover version

The song inspired the title of the novel Got til It's Gone, published in 2008, and is mentioned throughout the book.[80] Larry Duplechan's 2008 novel was also titled after the song and references Jackson in the book.[81] Producer DJRum credits "Got 'til It's Gone" as one of the songs which inspired him to pursue a career as a DJ.[82] The song was used on the CBS science fiction series Now and Again, with the show's executive producer saying "the song's melancholy was appropriate" to be used during a scene where actor John Goodman's character passes away.[83] The song is mentioned in Jay-Z's 2010 memoir Decoded, in which he compares the song's meaning to the theme of "December 4th", which appeared on his eighth studio album The Black Album (2003).[84] The song is also mentioned in the novels Getting to the Good Part and In Due Time.[85][86]

In 2012, British singer Marsha Ambrosius covered the song with rapper TWyse. TWyse's rap verse was different from Q-Tip's and Ambrosius re-sang the Joni Mitchell sample. It was featured on the album Bone Appétit Vol. 1 – Main Course by Jeff Bradshaw, released by Hidden Beach Recordings. The video for their cover was dedicated to the seven-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and was shot in New Orleans, Louisiana.[87]
