Happy Friday! Janet Jackson kicked off the weekend by dropping the new music video for her song “No Sleeep” featuring J. Cole.
“I hope u enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed making it,” Jackson, 49, tweeted Friday. “#NoSL333P @JColeNC.”
In the video, the pop/R&B superstar — who just received the Ultimate Icon Award at the BET Awards — slowly dances around her house and lets her hair curls loose while singing the sultry tune.
“You’re missing me, I’m missing you / Whenever we meet, we ain’t gonna get no sleep,” she croons. “When I get to be together with you / It’s fait accompli, we ain’t gonna get no sleep.”
Jackson also adds a personal touch to her vulnerable lyrics. In the video, she shares a throwback photo of herself as a child with her dad, Joe Jackson, and appears to give a shout-out to her late brother, Michael Jackson, by wearing a black fedora hat.
Several days ago, Jackson supported Cole at his Staples Center show in L.A. on Sunday, July 19. “Girls night out @JColeNC concert! #ColeWorld,” the “All for You” singer tweeted at the time.
Cole added Thursday: “A high honor when you [came to my] show at Staples Center @JanetJackson. Thank you. And….No Sleeep. Classic!”
This is Jackson’s first music video since the release of her 2008 album Discipline. She’s set to kick off her new Unbreakable tour next month.
