Ah, bring on Midnight Heat ๐Ÿ•› ๐Ÿ”ฅ! Wait โ€“ it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot ๐Ÿฅต at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. Yeah, we are talking about that after dark, bedroom boom $hiโ€ , ya dig? These unapologetic records often raises both eyebrows and temperature alike. Woo! In the 84th edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, ๐ŸŽต โ€œAny Time, Any Placeโ€ by ๐ŸŽ™ Janet Jackson.

Janet Jackson, janet. [๐Ÿ“ท: Black Doll Inc.]โ€œIn the thundering rain / You stare into my eyes / I can feel your hand / Moving up my thighs.โ€ Oh, snap ๐Ÿซฐ, ๐ŸŽ™ Janet Jackson.ย  For good measure, Janet later asserts, โ€œWith the lights down low / I was thinking maybe we could / Well, you know.โ€ Yeah, you TOTALLY know ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ˆ! The ๐Ÿ† Grammy-winning pop/R&B artist has long excelled at singing about sex. ๐ŸŽต โ€œAny Time, Any Placeโ€, the 25th track from her 1993 album, ๐Ÿ’ฟ Janet., is a prime example of the sexy, sexual vibes being elevated to the nth degree.ย  On this platinum, no. 2 Billboard Hot 100 hit, co-produced with ๐ŸŽ› Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, IT can go down anywhere, anytime.

The chorus sums things up perfectly:

โ€œAny time

And any place

I donโ€™t care whoโ€™s around

No, no, no, no, no.โ€

Bitmoji ImageSo, Janet is willing to have sex with him anywhere, regardless of privacy? Holy she-it! Prior to the chorus, in the pre-chorus, she makes it clear, โ€œI donโ€™t give a damn what they think,โ€ adding, โ€œYou feel so good inside of my love.โ€ Hmm, inside, huh? Weโ€™ll leave it at that ๐Ÿ˜ˆ! As much as a song like ๐ŸŽต โ€œAny Time, Any Placeโ€ can be read into, Jackson remains far less explicit than sheโ€™d become, namely the highly sexual ๐Ÿ’ฟ Damita Jo from 2004 (๐ŸŽต โ€œStrawberry Bounceโ€, ๐ŸŽต โ€œMoistโ€ and ๐ŸŽต โ€œWarmthโ€ come to mind). Still, sheโ€™s certainly not that innocent on this slick, sensual seven-minute record, Britney!
