[edit] Song information

The song was the lead single from the Universal Pictures film Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, in which Jackson co-starred with actor Eddie Murphy. It became Jackson's ninth number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and first in the 2000s, staying atop for three weeks, and also making Jackson the first artist in history to score number-one singles in the '80s, '90s, and '00s. An alternate mix of the song was later included on Jackson's seventh studio album, 2001's All for You. Jackson performed this version at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The song was used in the dance video game Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova, and was covered in Japanese by Hitomi Shimatani and re-titled "Papillon" (Jackson's character's name).

[edit] Music video

The video, directed by Joseph Kahn, features Jackson in an abstract anime-based, Sci-Fi-like world. The futuristic video features an Aibo dog, morphing clothes, and levitating platforms and was featured on MTV's Making the Video on June 28, 2000.[1] The video was only available on the enhanced CD single, and was not released on any of Jackson's other video compilations.
