About All Nite

"All Nite (Don't Stop)" is a song recorded by American singer Janet Jackson for her eighth studio album, Damita Jo (2004). It was written and produced by Jackson and Swedish duo Bag & Arnthor (consisting of Anders Bagge and Arnthor Birgisson), with additional writing from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Virgin Records released the song on May 29, 2004, as the album's third single. "All Nite (Don't Stop)" is an electro-funk and house song that contains elements of grime, samba, Latin, dance-pop, ambient techno, and dancehall. Jackson sings the song in a breathy falsetto, with lyrical metaphors comparing various actions to dancing. "All Nite (Don't Stop)" received positive reviews from music critics, with some of them praising it as the best song on the album. Its chart performance was massively affected by the blacklisting of Jackson's work on many radio formats and music channels worldwide, regarding conglomerates fined by the U. S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after her Super Bowl halftime show incident. However, it peaked atop Hot Dance Club Songs and reached number eight on Hot Dance Airplay, while reaching the top 20 in Spain and the United Kingdom, as well as charting in several other countries. It additionally won a BMI London Award for Best Pop Song.

[Chorus]
Work it like you're working a pole
Shake it 'til you're shaking the floor
Pop it like you're poppin' a cork
Don't stop, don't stop
Jerk it like you're making it choke
Break it like you're breakin' a code
Drop it till you're taking it lower

Drop it, drop it
This is serious
I'm delirious
So oblivious
I could dance all night

With you
As long as its funky
This rhythm just makes me high
I'm like a junkie
I could dance all night

[Chorus]

So intoxicated
I'm so stimulated
Feel so X-rated
I could dance all night

As long as it's funky
This rhythm just makes me high
I'm like a junkie
I could dance all night

[Chorus]

Everybody on the floor (Let's go)
Let's get hardcore (Get low)
Make my sweat pour (Oh no)
Don't stop (Gimme some more)
Ooh my body's yours (spank that)
Spank that back door (like that)
Drive me like a Porsche' (yea)

I could dance all night
Can we take this party higher?
Now just put your hands to the sky and
Clap, clap, clap, clap
I could dance all night

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
