Jant Jackson’s first first number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Go Ms. Janet!!!!!
The music video finds Jackson going around a neighborhood. Each location she visits has the same mysterious man in different costumes saying a brief statement to her and then vanishing as she turns around. The director of “When I Think of You”, Julien Temple, would later direct Jackson’s “Alright” video, and both videos have a similar style. “When I Think of You” has only five cuts. The video is quite similar to the opening segment of Temple’s 1986 film Absolute Beginners, which stars David Bowie and Sade Adu. The style is that the video is assumed to be one long take, but in fact it is five smaller takes. Although fluid in nature, obvious mistakes can be seen in the edits, especially when she comes out of the back door of the club, and a photographer takes her picture. The flash acts as an edit, but the people in the background are in quite different positions before and after the flash. Two of Jackson’s nephews, TJ and Taryll Jackson, make an cameo in the video.
