It's Janet, Miss Jackson if you're nasty! The legendary musician exploded back onto the scene with her latest song and music video, her first since 2015! You already know why we think Janet Jackson is iconic on another level, and 'Made For Now', her new bop, simply adds to that.
@JanetJackson YOU. DID. THAT!

The certified banger features Puerto Rican superstar Daddy Yankee, generous helpings of Spanish, and an Afrobeats inspired sound that has us all on our feet moving!

Fans could not get enough of the proudly Afrocentric visuals and sound, and the message of harmony conveyed in a multicultural bloc party that features in the Jackson family star's video.

It may be the year we all went to Wakanda, but Janet Jackson has been serving Motherland realness for a long time, as one Twitter user happily pointed out.
A thread to educate the misinformed and remind some of you that @JanetJackson has been doing these visuals for decades: one-shot music videos, block parties, dancing in the street, eclectic music with influences from many cultures + vibrant multicultural visuals. #MadeForNow pic.twitter.com/R2EUdwzIPB

has been doing #Wakanda long before it was even a thing. Her LIVE performance of "Throb" on SNL in 1993 was one of her most memorable.

The moment in the music video where she turns down a hat in favor of her headwrap is A MOOD.
And of course Janet slayed in her first live performance of 'Made For Now' on The Tonight Show this past Sunday. Just like the music video, Janet and her dancers brought it and played homage to African cultures.
The high note and extra dance break!!! I live!! ❤💃😍👑@JanetJackson #MadeForNow pic.twitter.com/Ky7pLImGml
