Janet Jackson‘s former boyfriend, Jermaine Dupri, has opened up to MTV about the superstar’s forthcoming single ‘Nothing’, which is lifted from the ‘Why Did I Get Married Too’ soundtrack – the movie of which Jackson stars in. Check out what he had to say about the cut – which he produced:
Jermaine Dupri recently told MTV News he had produced a new Janet Jackson song for the upcoming Tyler Perry film in which the singer also stars, “Why Did I Get Married Too?”
According to the So So Def boss, the track is slated to be the first single from the movie’s soundtrack — the film is scheduled to arrive in theaters April 2.
“I watched the movie with [Jackson and Perry] and it’s incredible,” Dupri said. “I’m not married but married people go through what I seen in this movie. I think Tyler hit it on the head again. But the song is perfect for the movie and it’s a good record.”
The producer was tight-lipped about the track, only revealing that the title was “Nothing.” He promised, however, that the song will showcase a Jackson that fans haven’t seen in a while.
“I can say this — y’all haven’t heard her sound like this in a long time,” he teased.
Granted I’ve been punk’ed by many a producer touting how ‘amazingly different’ a song is going to be enough times to greet such promises with pessimism, I am admittedly uber excited about this. This really is Janet’s time to silence the naysayers and re-position herself as a musical force, which I’m confident she will if the material, label situation etc is right. In any case, ‘Nothing’ should be premièring any time from now…
Tidbit: A little birdy has informed us that Ms. Jackson’s new label, Interscope, will likely include ‘Nothing’ on her as-yet-untitled LP which is pencilled in for a May/June release – if it performs well.

sounds good…will be waiting for it
love Janet, can’t wait for this
Wat Nobody u talkin abt
I just hope JD doesn’t get too involved with Janet’s new album. Ever since he started messing with her music, she hasn’t done so well. I’m excited to hear more of her tracks with Darkchild. I LOVE “Make Me” and the video was hot.
Just put the record out. I’m tired of hearing about it and not hearing it!!!! I’m too excited about this. I’m really hoping that all works in Janet’s favor. She’s music royalty and should be treated accordingly.
@J-ROCKA, I don’t know what you’re talking about but 20 Y.O was a great album! For some reason people think Jermaine was involved in her Damita Jo album, but he wasn’t and by some standards that album didnt do so well. Anyway, I said all of that to say that I wish ppl would stop blaming JD for her poor albums sales.
Bring it on. Itching to hear this.
I agree with B. Just put the damn record out!
OMG just drop it now. Side note: JD if this s*** isn’t good stay the f*** away from her album….Thanks.
she needs to go SIT somewhere and have some babies… has time is UP
I hope its good. SUGAR, sweetie why don’t you go SIT somewhere and have some babies? Your time is UP!
I really hope janet can pull through this time around but anyway cant wait to hear the record if jermaine dupri is producing it im sure the song will be timeless *says in sarcasm*
My Goodness JD”s word in Gods Ear.lol
Nobody likes him to work with Janet,he he gives a BIG F… Sorry for the F Word,but Im NOT Excited at all,I see the same ole things is coming again,and it STARTS with his Last minutes thing.lol I wish Janet all the BEST,I love her in my HEART,but my Feelings are telling me(NOT GOOD)
it seems Janet is still on the same trip.
GOD BLESS YOU
OMG 🙁
WOW MORE WHISPERS
JD doesn’t have a good track record with Janet. She works best with pop producers like Darkchild. Maybe she needs to get some heat from Timberland or Polow Da Don. Something different please Interscope !!
@HIHIHIHIHI
It sure as hell beats all that bleating from billy goat Rihanna!
janet jackson can’t wait for Nothing and ‘Why Did I Get Married Too.
@HIHIHI whisper deez nuts…okay
No s*** they would include it on the album IF IT DOES WELL!
Why wouldn’t they? They’d prob almost try to list it as the first single from the album too, if it performs well!

Bring it ON miss Janet the industry really needs you right now true pure entertainment by a female artist. New album new film new everything cant wait
When does she not look good?
It’s funny – if not peculiar, how everyone gives Justin Timberlake a …. “pass” for that, now-infamous, ‘wardrobe malfunction’! That ONE-event has defined, and marked the decline of Janet Jackson! … And what a sharp, eventful and sobering-decline it has been!! …Mr. Timberlake’s career didn’t skip-a-beat, and is he’s NOW, bigger-than-ever, no?
Can the doldrums of being 40-something, in the entertainment industry; no Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis/L.A Reid”; the likes of Beyonce/A.Keys – prove insurmountable? …Or will fate blow a ‘kind, warm and refreshing-breeze’ upon said disenfranchised Janet Jackson?
…If “40 is the new-30,” and our ‘attention suffers deficit’, then the surgeon’s knife, slick studio-gimmickry and the pall/empathy of our recently departed King of Pop, should prove …”benevolent” to/for MJ’s little-sister, no? …I was ’bout to call her “Penny” ; yup, I caught a re-run online too!
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT!!
I hope it’s good, but she does not have a great track record with Jermaine. Look at 20y0 and Discipline.
Love the animal print.
