Janet Jackson is known more than the sister of Michael Jackson. She created her own path into music history with 11 studio albums starting in 1982 and still releasing songs today. Many Janet Jackson songs are either love songs or perfect dance hits that will fill the dance floor. Enjoy our list of both.
Janet Jackson Songs
Miss You Much

If you are looking for a song that will get guests to the dance floor, this song will get people to want to get up and dance.
Made For Now
2018, Released as a single
Daddy Yankee with Janet is on our list with the newest song on our list. A great groove to add to any wedding playlist.
All For You
2001, All for You
Janet was the queen of Pop for many years while producing chart-topping hits. I love this song for background song that is a bit more upbeat.
That’s The Way Love Goes
1993, Janet
A well-known song for 90’s R&B fans will recognize instantaneously. A great song as a background dinner song that everyone will tap their shoes to.
Nasty
1986, Control
Looking for a song that talks about how women should be treated? “Nasty” makes for the perfect garter toss song.
Scream
1995, HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I
Joining with her brother Michael, this song was a huge dance hit bringing siblings together. It will fill the dance floor with the guests wanting to dance.
Black Cat
1990, Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814
The bride can be the one in control during the garter removal. “Black Cat” empowers the bride to surprise her new husband with this song that she is the one in control.
Together Again
1997, The Velvet Rope
If you have a great DJ who can mix well and remove the intro, this song can be mixed into any party dance set that keeps the dance floor packed.
Escapade
1990, Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814
A throwback to the late 80s that will have everyone reminiscing and also on the dance floor. One of Janet’s #1 biggest dance hits.
When I Think of You
1988, Control
One Of Janet’s love song dance hits. However, we think the tempo is a bit slower for dancing and thus makes for a great background song or cake cutting song.
If
1993, Janet
Just like her brother, Michael Jackson. Janet produced fantastic dance hits and I love the song “If” to fill the dance floor for RB music fans.
Rhythm Nation
1989, Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814
Looking for an old school dance tune for a choreographed dance? This song rocked dance floors and made CDs skip. If you practice, this song can bring down the house!
Love Will Never Do (Without You)
1990, Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814
A great mid-tempo song perfect for a non-traditional recessional song or a spot-on cocktail hour song!
What is a Janet Jackson song to avoid at your wedding? I would not play the song “Again”. With the lyrics -“I’ll never fall in love with you again”.
