Data Insight
All for You returned Janet Jackson to an upbeat pop sound, and she co-wrote every track with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The album also brought in producer Rockwilder on several songs. Her songwriting credit runs across the record, keeping her authorship intact during a lighter, more celebratory era.
All for You, released April 24, 2001, marked a deliberate return to bright, carefree dance-pop after the dark emotional territory of The Velvet Rope. Jackson co-wrote all tracks with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The title track became her best-charting single in years, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100, her first number one since 'That's the Way Love Goes' in 1993. The album debuted at number one in the US and was certified two times platinum.
