About Go Deep

"Go Deep" is a song by American singer Janet Jackson from her sixth studio album, The Velvet Rope (1997). It was written and produced by Jackson, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, with additional writing by René Elizondo Jr. The song was released as the fourth single from the album on June 15, 1998, by Virgin Records. A song with funk elements, "Go Deep" lyrically talks about Jackson's desire to cruise a club, get a man and take him home to make the man "scream and moan". Official remixes for the song were released, featuring Missy Elliott, Teddy Riley and Timbaland. "Go Deep" received mixed reviews by music critics, who found the song irresistible, while others called it tedious. Commercially it fared well worldwide, reaching number two in Canada and peaking within the top twenty in Iceland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, while topping the US Hot Dance Club Play chart. A music video directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris depicts a boy having a daydream with Jackson giving a party in his house after his parents had left town for the weekend. The singer performed the song on The Velvet Rope Tour (1998), Number Ones, Up Close and Personal tour (2011), as well as on the Janet Jackson: Metamorphosis residency (2019).
