Let's Wait Awhile
"Let's Wait Awhile" is a song recorded by American recording artist Janet Jackson, released as the fifth single from her third studio album, ''Control''. It was written and produced by Jackson and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, with Melanie Andrews also serving as the co-writer of the track and it was also the first song Janet co-produced. Inspired by a conversation Janet had with a friend, the song speaks of sexual abstinence and postponing intimacy within a relationship.
The song received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who praised the track's sweetness and Jackson's tender delivery. It was also praised for its meaningful message, considered to be a teaching tool to encourage sexual abstinence. The song was a success on the charts, including the United States, reaching number two on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts, also reaching number three in the United Kingdom, where she made her debut on the BBC's Top of the Pops on March 26, 1987, and four in Ireland, in addition to charting in numerous other countries.
A music video for the song was directed by Dominic Sena and tells a lighthearted, accompanying story of a couple in love. Janet has performed the track in all of her tours, with the last two, the "Rock Witchu Tour" and "Number Ones: Up Close and Personal", receiving praise for highlighting her vocals. The song was covered and was sampled in numerous songs throughout the years, while also being featured on the soundtrack of a telenovela in Brazil.
