The Pleasure Principle (song)
"The Pleasure Principle" is a song by American singer-songwriter Janet Jackson, recorded for her third studio album, ''Control'' (1986). It was written by and produced by Monte Moir, and was released as the sixth single from the album on May 12, 1987 by A&M Records. "The Pleasure Principle" is an "independent woman" anthem about love gone wrong built around a dance beat. The photo for the single cover was shot by fashion photographer David LaChapelle.〔http://www.lachapellestudio.com/projects/stills/〕
The accompanying music video for "The Pleasure Principle" was directed by Dominic Sena. It depicts Jackson entering a loft wearing only a t-shirt and jeans to practice her dancing. The video was seen by critics as iconic, and was nominated at two categories at the 1988 MTV Video Music Awards, eventually winning one. "The Pleasure Principle" was performed on many of Jackson's tours, most recently on her 2011 Number Ones: Up Close and Personal tour. The song was also performed on some promotional appearances, including at the 2006 Billboard Music Awards. In 2008, Jackson's lingerie line was named after the song.〔http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2008/08/20/janet-jacksons-new-pleasure-principle-lingerie/〕
==Background and development==
After arranging a recording contract with A&M Records in 1982 for a then sixteen-year-old Janet, her father Joseph Jackson oversaw the entire production of her debut album, ''Janet Jackson'', and its follow-up, ''Dream Street'' (1984). In 1985, Jackson subsequently fired her father as her manager and hired John McClain, then A&M Records' senior vice president of artists and repertoire and general manager. Commenting on the decision, she stated, "I just wanted to get out of the house, get out from under my father, which was one of the most difficult things that I had to do, telling him that I didn't want to work with him again." He subsequently introduced her to the songwriting and production duo James "Jimmy Jam" Harris III and Terry Lewis, former Prince associates and ex-members of The Time.
"The Pleasure Principle" was the only song not to be written or produced by Jam and Lewis. Instead, it was penned by American producer Monte Moir, The Time's keyboardist. At the time, he was working with his old band colleagues at Flyte Tyme Studios when they were offered the project for the album with Jackson, and Moir was asked to come up with some songs.〔 He did not have a concept or title for the song at first, which was not uncommon for the producer. According to Moir, "As verses started to take shape, I had to figure out what it was I was trying to say, I just stumbled into the title and Freudian concept (of the pleasure principle) and realized it fit." After songwriting was done, Moir recorded it "fairly quickly" as there were a lot of projects going on at one studio.〔http://www.oneradsong.com/2012/06/pleasure-principle-by-monte.html〕
