She recently wrapped up her highly anticipated Together Again Tour, which saw her perform 35 dates.
The Grammy-winning artist, who is currently in Their Together Again TourShe performs the song at a concert in front of a video of her late brother, and says it’s an emotional feeling “to hear it every night, to see it, to remember it.”
The Gary, Indiana-born artist recalled creating the song with her late brother, saying, “Mike and I wrote that song in New York, in his apartment.”
Janet said she relives “that whole journey, listening to him sing it” and remembering “what he was going through at the time” as he sought to rebuild his reputation and career amid the damaging allegations.
“I’m her little sister, I’m always there for her and I’m her support system,” Janet said. “That’s always been my role.”
In the song, Michael addressed his frustrations with the fallout from the allegations and media coverage of the matter. The lyrics included: ‘I’m tired of the injustice, I’m tired of the machinations/ Your lies are disgusting/ So what does it mean, damn?’
In her 2022 Lifetime docuseries of the same name, Janet said of her late brother, “Mike was going through a lot and I think it was taking a toll on him.”
The song peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 after spending 17 weeks on the chart, earning the Best Music Video award at the 1996 Grammy Awards.
The black-and-white music video featured the famous siblings performing together, which Janet said in the docuseries was a complicated process as the music industry executives involved sought to keep them apart.
Celine Dion is said to be in the final stages of negotiating her own residency at the same venue, which is scheduled to begin in “November or early 2025,” depending on the severity of her battle with stiff-person syndrome, seen performing in Las Vegas in 2016.
“It was tough: Michael was filming at night, I was filming during the day,” Janet said in 2022. “His record company would block off his whole set so I couldn’t see what was going on. They didn’t want me on set.
“I felt like they were trying to make things very competitive between the two of us. That really hurt me, because I felt like I was there to fight with him, not to fight against him.”
Janet said her sense of nostalgia for collaborating with her brother had not been enough during the production of the clip.
