Released on October 11, 1994, it was the seventh single (sixth and final in the U.S.) from Jackson's fifth studio album, janet. (1993). "You Want This" was written and produced by Janet Jackson, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and contains samples from Diana Ross & the Supremes' 1968 song "Love Child" and Kool & the Gang's 1973 song "Jungle Boogie". Several remixes feature rapper MC Lyte, The song is about Jackson being told by her girls that a guy is watching and wanting her. Jackson proclaims if the guy wants to be with her, he has to work for it. The single contains two B-sides, the janet. track "New Agenda" and the then-unreleased "70's Love Groove". "70's Love Groove" also appears on the remix album janet. Remixed.
