About Unbreakable

"Unbreakable" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Janet Jackson for her eleventh studio album Unbreakable (2015). It was co-written and produced by Jackson and her long-time collaborators Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, with additional writing by Thomas Lumpkins and additional production by Tommy McClendon and Dem Jointz. The song debuted on September 3, 2015 on Apple Music's Beats 1 radio station and was made available for digital download on the same day Jackson officially announced the studio album's release date and track list. It was subsequently released to urban contemporary radio on September 29, 2015 and to urban adult contemporary radio on October 5, 2015 as the album's second single. "Unbreakable" is a mid-tempo R&B song, which instrumentation consists of a thumping bass and a subdued beat, having a soul-sample throughout the track and Jackson's vocals. It starts a cappella, shifting into a smooth, mid-tempo groove, and towards the end, the beat is pulled back for a spoken outro over finger snaps. Lyrically, the song finds Jackson expressing her gratitude towards her loyal fan base and a lover, while also addressing her absence. The song received largely positive reviews from music critics, who praised its groove, her vocals and its harmonies. "Unbreakable" was added to Jackson's 2015–16 Unbreakable World Tour.

Set one
I live through my mistakes
It's just a part of growing
And never for a single moment
Did I ever go without your love
You made me feel wanted
I wanna tell you how important
You are to me, love

Truth is, truth is that I wouldn't be here
Without the love I stand on
Anytime I get lost in the world
You'll always be there
To care and share
In the joy and the pain, oh
Our love won't change

And what I share with you
Ever sacred, everlasting
The greatest love for me
I love you
And it's pure
And it will endure
The world can't break down
The connection
'Cause our love is divine
And it's unbreakable

Faithful love that I will always keep first
My heart will never be hurt
A family that walks through fire for me
So I don't get burnt
Fans and friends chime in
To a love that's true blue
I dedicate myself to you

And what I share with you
Ever sacred, everlasting
The greatest love for me
I love you
And it's pure
And it will endure
The world can't break down
The connection
'Cause our love is devine
And it's unbreakable
And what I share with you
Ever sacred, everlasting
The greatest love for me
I love you
And it's pure
And it will endure
The world can't break down
The connection
'Cause our love is divine
And it's unbreakable

'Cause our love is defined
And it's unbreakable
'Cause our love is defined
And it's unbreakable
Love

(I found a friend)
Hello
(I found a friend)
It's been a while
(I found a friend)
Lot's to talk about
(I found a friend)
I'm glad you're still here
(I dedicate myself to you)
I hope you enjoy
