About Nothing

"Nothing" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Janet Jackson. It was released on March 23, 2010 by A&M Records and So So Def Recordings as a soundtrack single from the film Why Did I Get Married Too?, which starred Jackson. The song was later included on Jackson's compilation album Icon: Number Ones. It was written by Jackson, Johntá Austin, Bryan-Michael Cox and Jermaine Dupri and produced by Jackson, Cox, and Dupri. Initially titled "Trust in Me", the song was written about the different character's personas and emotions in the film. "Nothing" received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who praised it as "classic pop", and noted that it was possibly influenced by her brother Michael Jackson's recent death. Despite the fact that it was not officially released to radio formats for airplay, the song managed to achieve moderate rotation on adult contemporary and jazz formats. A music video for the song was directed by Tim Palen and premiered in April 2010. Jackson performed "Nothing" on the ninth season finale of American Idol and on the Essence Music Festival, which Jackson headlined.

There's something I wanna say
Something that I've been holding back
Can't let it go another day
Let me start by saying that

Nothing, nothing,
Nothing, means more than the truth.

And truth is that I realize, love is fading from your eyes
Don't know how it came to this, but we gonna get it fixed tonight
Cus nothing, nothing,
Nothing, is worth losing you

Tell me what could the problem be, that's got you drinking way too much
What could it be 'bout us
Don't you tell me not right now, I can't let it go
(I can't let it go, no I can't let it go, Oh nooo)

What can I do to help you see,
That there's no need for jealousy or insecurities
I'll do anything you want
You can even have the password to my phone

Because nothing, nothing
Should come between us
Trust in me
Trust in me

We should cherish every moment like it's the last
Trust in me
Trust in me

If your issues is with trust, hear me when I tell you this
No one else has shared my love, no one else has had your kiss

Nothing, nothing,
Nothing, can make me forget.

(Noooo)

Forget that you're a good man and I know that you've had it hard
Cus you're more than adequate, you're more than I wish for

Nothing, nothing,
Nothing, can make you any less.

Tell me what could the problem be, the past is something I can't change
It's a brand new day
Don't you tell me not right now, I can't let it go
(I can't let it go, no I can't let it go, Oh nooo)

We've got to fix this, fix this right this minute
Only pure love can calm the noise
Cus baby when we give pure love
Pure love will never come back to us void

Because nothing, nothing
Should come between us
Trust in me
Trust in me

We should cherish every moment like it's the last
Trust in me
Trust in me
