[edit] Song information

"R&B Junkie" was said to be the perfect follow-up to "All Nite (Don't Stop)" and appeared on a promo vinyl single of the song. It contains a sample of Evelyn King's "I'm in Love", written by Michael Jones and Nicholas Trevisick. After the physical single was cancelled, it was only released to Urban AC radio stations. Due to being released to a reported 33 Urban AC stations in the US, it failed to chart on any main Billboard charts, but did peak at number one on the "bubbling under" R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks, after the release of the album Damita Jo. The song peaked at number 2 in Japan. A video was filmed for the single, but was not released, when questioned about it Jackson stated that the fans will see it one day. Several remixes of the song have surfaced on the internet.
