Vorlage:Infobox single

"That's the Way Love Goes" is a song by American singer Janet Jackson from her fifth studio album, janet. (1993). Released as the album's lead single in April 1993, the song became Jackson's biggest number-one single ever in the United States, staying atop the Billboard Hot 100 for eight weeks, in addition to winning a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song in 1994.

Song information

"That's the Way Love Goes", written and produced by Jackson and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, contains a sample of James Brown's 1974 number-one R&B hit "Papa Don't Take No Mess".[1] As the lead single from janet., the mood was a stark contrast to her previous album Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814.

In 1994, the track earned Jackson her second Grammy Award for Best R&B Song, and was also nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.

Since then, the song has been covered by Norman Brown, 'N Sync, Chantay Savage, Deborah Cox, and Brownstone.

Jackson performed the song as a medley with "If" at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards; the audio recording of which appears on the limited edition double disc edition of janet. A remix of the song entitled CJ FXTC Club Mix & CJ FXTC Bass Hit Dub appears on her 1995 remix album janet. Remixed.

Jackson has performed the song on all of her tours, including the janet. Tour, The Velvet Rope Tour, All for You Tour, and Rock Witchu Tour. It was also included in her current tour, Number Ones: Up Close and Personal.

On April 1, 2009 "That's the Way Love Goes" was ranked number 427 on Blender's list of The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born.[2]

Composition

"That's the Way Love Goes" is set in common time with a key of G minor. Jackson's vocal chords ranges between the tonal nodes of high-tone F3 to low-tone Bb4. The song is in a medium tempo of 100 beats per minute with the chord progression being set like Am–E–Gb.[3]

Chart performance

"That's the Way Love Goes" debuted at number fourteen on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Two weeks later, a day before Jackson's twenty-seventh birthday, May 16, 1993, it became Jackson's sixth number one on the Hot 100, eleventh number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and ninth number one on the Hot Dance Club Play. The single is also Jackson's biggest hit on the Hot 100 Airplay, where it spent ten weeks at number one. This song is Jackson's most successful single in the U.S. to date. Internationally, it reached number one in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand; the top five in Finland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom; and the top ten in Denmark, Germany, Ireland, and Sweden. The song also went on to top the European Hot 100 Singles. The song is to date the biggest selling single by a female artist in South Africa, spending 9 weeks at no.1.

Music video

The video was directed by Jackson's ex-husband René Elizondo, Jr. in March 1993. Set in a loft, Jackson is depicted amongst her friends who persuade her to play her new song. Jackson performs the song, being interrupted by Tish who pauses it to tell her, "Yo, this is slamming!" Tish plays the tape and everyone there begins to dance along to it. Tina Landon choreographed the video. The video also features then-unknown Jennifer Lopez as Jackson's backup dancer. "That's the Way Love Goes" was nominated for three MTV Video Music Awards in 1993: Best Female Video, Best Dance Video, and Best Choreography. The video is featured on the 1994 compilation janet., the 1996 compilation Design of a Decade, the limited bonus-DVD edition of 2001's All for You, and 2004's From janet. to Damita Jo: The Videos.

An alternate version of the video, the One Take Version, is set in the same hotel room and is a single take focusing solely on Jackson. It appears exclusively on the 1994 VHS video compilation janet.[4]

N*SYNC paid tribute to the video exclusively on mtvIcon, where they covered a shortened version of the song in a similar setting.
