El papel de Jackson en la película Poetic Justice le dio la confianza para intentar temas musicales más atrevidos, comentando: "Sé que conmocionaría a la gente, pero no lo estoy haciendo por valor. Y sé que hay algunas personas que van a decir: 'No, no podré aceptar esto porque esta es una niña que vimos cuando tenía siete años' ". Continuó:" Todo el mundo dice: 'Oh, Dios mío, has cambiado tanto. ¿De verdad eres tú? ”, describió riendo antes de decir:“ Por supuesto que soy yo ”. [1] Virgin Records quería que la canción fuera el sencillo principal de Janet , diciendo que "podría tener un gran video de baile". Jackson no estuvo de acuerdo y decidió lanzarlo como el segundo lanzamiento del álbum. [2] La canción fue escrita por Jackson en una sala de conferencias durante una reunión de sello. [3] Al describir el proceso, Jackson dijo: "Una vez que empiezas a grabar, casi tiene vida propia. Realmente nos pusimos en marcha cuando hicimos la canción" If ". Escribir una canción puede suceder de cualquier manera ... Jimmy [Jam] estaba viendo un juego de pelota y jugando con los teclados. Le pido que vuelva a tocar los acordes que estaba tocando ... "Si" resultó ser más funk, gritter ". Hablando sobre su tema, dijo: "La canción trata sobre fantasear. He tenido esos sentimientos [expresados en la canción] ... ¡es mi momento de compartir!" [3] Jackson agregó, "[se trata] de una chica que va a un club y fantasea con este chico: fantasías serias sobre las cosas que le haría si fuera su chica, las posiciones y cosas así. Pero ella es no, por lo que no puede, por lo que se frustra bastante en el segundo verso, sin que sea demasiado. Aún es de buen gusto ". [4]
Recepción de la crítica
- Telegram & Gazette en "If"
"If" fue aclamado por su innovación y progresión sonora, así como por su sexualidad y uso de múltiples géneros. Patrick Corcoran de Albumism lo llamó "una pista con un sonido fuerte, confuso y desagradable que gotea con la emoción de la lujuria a primera vista". [5] David Nathan de la revista B&S comentó que la canción no tira golpes. "Al escucharlo y leer la letra que escribió Janet en una sala de conferencias de Virgin Records , me sonrojo, en sí mismo un hecho poco común". [3] BBC Radio 3 lo elogió como una "furia industrial impresionante" basada en la "satisfacción oral". [6] Andrew Hammp de Billboard la declaró una "pista de baile rockera ", con cuerdas que "anclan el clímax". También se señaló el tema de la canción de evitar la tentación de interferir con la monogamia , añadiendo "Aunque Jackson deja que su mente se acelere con pensamientos traviesos [...], finalmente se detiene a sí misma para no perseguir al hombre de otra persona". [7] Otro editor, Larry Flick lo describió como un "teaser húmedo y seductor, envuelto en un ritmo pop / hiphop igualmente sexy". Añadió: "Su dulce voz rebota en los riffs de la guitarra cyborg, llevando la vibra del ritmo rock de su éxito de" Rhythm Nation " " Black Cat "a un nivel más intenso. Escondido debajo de la producción agradablemente abarrotada hay un coro contagioso y un nifty funk bassline ". [8] Greg Kot de Chicago Tribune escribió: "Hay un riff de guitarra sorprendente y difuso extraído de 'Sledgehammer' de Peter Gabriel que le da a 'If' un poco de fuerza". [9] David Browne de Entertainment Weekly exclamó que "lleva a Jackson a un terreno nuevo y emocionante", mezclando su voz con "un embotellamiento en una ciudad de cyborgs ". [10] Un escritor de Idolator lo llamó una " épica de baile industrial / sexo" además de "contagiosa y obscena", diciendo que "la inconfundible voz de Janet Jackson se usa a la perfección para crear una pista extrañamente tropical pero hermosa". [2] [11]
"If" también se interpretó como "un número épico arremolinado", fusionando "disco de los 90 con guitarra-rock", utilizando una " guitarra Hendrix -lite" a lo largo de la canción. La voz de Jackson fue entregada a "velocidad vertiginosa, prácticamente rapeando sobre los placeres lascivos de su amante", mientras que su producción tuvo "muchos estilos en exhibición", incluyendo "sintetizador distorsionado con guitarra acústica". [12] [13] Nicholas Jennings de Maclean's calificó la canción "guiada por la guitarra" como un "destacado" por sus líneas explícitas. [14] Alan Jones de Music Week le dio cuatro sobre cinco, y lo calificó como "ciertamente inusual y ciertamente un éxito". [15] James Hamilton de RM Dance Update de la revista lo llamó "guitarra aulló jittery jack swing pop". [16] Jon Pareles de The New York Times observó que la canción se abría con una "guitarra gritando y un verso cantado, elevándose a una dulce melodía". [17] Un crítico de Popblerd dijo que "comienza con comentarios de guitarra" antes de pasar a "un entrenamiento de baile sexy y sudoroso", y agregó que "nos dejó boquiabiertos ". [18] Dave Ritz de Rolling Stone lo calificó como "sutil y audaz", con las "fantasías de dormitorio" de Jackson con un feroz disfraz: duros ritmos de jeep, guitarra de rock duro y una muestra de Diana Ross & The Supremes . y algunos se perdieron de lo que estaba hablando ". [19] [20] El crítico musical Richard Croft elogió "el álbum de janet. Fue un gran festival de sexo de principio a fin, pero en ningún lugar fue más caliente que 'If'," etiquetar el coro "como contagioso, al mismo tiempo malicioso y vulnerable. , desafiante y desesperado ". Se consideró que la sexualidad de la canción lograba "lo raro de ser feminista y femenina al mismo tiempo sin comprometer tampoco", diciendo que la canción es "una gran canción de amor suplicante que la puso totalmente al capricho del hombre, y una gran mierda. -el himno de apagado que decía "Estoy aquí, soy Janet volviendo loco a Jackson, pero si no te vas a dar cuenta de mí, entonces inclínate". Expresado de forma un poco diferente, por supuesto ". [21] Sal Cinquemani de Slant Magazine dijo que su contenido era "inminente o simplemente imaginado", y agregó que "el título mismo encarna ese hecho, es esencialmente sobre la masturbación , con Janet describiendo lo que siente la" polla suave y brillante "de su amante como contra sus labios mientras aparentemente se frota bajo las sábanas ". [22] Craig S. Semon de Telegram & Gazette declaró que "el seductor travieso" es una de las "pistas más emocionantes" de Jackson. [23] Una anécdota también afirma que Jackson se convirtió en "la gatita sexual que todo hombre soñaba que sería", en contraposición a lo que antes se conocía como "una chica dulce y fresca que cantaba pequeñas canciones sobre el amor joven ". La letra "deja deliberadamente algo a la imaginación", lo que hace que uno se pregunte a qué se refiere Jackson: "¿Podría Janet estar hablando de los labios, el pecho o el palo de procreación de un hombre? Por el amor de Dios, me gustaría ir con la última opción sobre todo ". [24] Vibe lo llamó "una obra maestra extraña". [25]

Synopsis
The video opens with a moonlit scene of a woman wearing a Kimono walking towards a building in an Asian village. The woman walks to the door, looks into a hidden camera and says the password, "If". A man operating the door from inside then grants her access to the festivities. The inside of the bordello is then shown as a green light turns on, signaling male dancers to be lowered from the ceiling, who descend upside down on ropes in a winding fashion simulating a corkscrew. The woman is then shown entering the club. A wider view of the club is then revealed, with club patron watching the stage as female dancers perform. Various scenes of people attending the club are shown through touch-screen monitors and web cameras. Multiple screens are shown, and a man watching some of the other patron on the monitor uses the futuristic touch-screen to select angles of the performance on the main stage. The doors on the main platform then rapidly open as Janet, who is wearing a black and white top, black pants and a Bohemian choker, descends the stairs and enters the main stage, surrounded by blowing red fabric and a radiant white light. She focuses solely on one man in the audience watching her through the monitor as she and her dancers start performing a sexually suggestive dance routine, three women in high fashion outfits are shown walking through the club and observing the men in attendance through a monitor. As Jackson continues entertaining the crowd, the woman who was originally shown entering the bordello is again seen walking through the event, quickly paying one of the guards to allow her into the club's private sector. Jackson continues the routine as additional scenes on a monitor are briefly seen. This leads into the video's choreographed breakdown, with Jackson performing the routine as angles switch multiple times. Jackson continues the intricate dance while a woman is shown touching the image of a man's faces on another screen. Another woman is then shown on a webcam, becoming aroused while observing a couple engaging in sexual activity. The video's final dance sequence begins, with Janet grabbing a male dancer's crotch region and simulating oral sex, before placing him on the floor and bending him over. Janet continues to seductively watch the man in the audience as she performs, kneeling before the male dancer and then lowering him to floor. The video ends with the man in the audience passionately touching an image of Janet on the monitor, as the woman who was shown entering the club is then seen exiting and walking towards the village.
Reception
Described by Jackson as "a female fantasy," David Ritz of Rolling Stone analyzed the video to include "tantalizing bodies" and "mock-cunnilingus," along with the "scrambled" reality and rampant voyeurism of Jackson watching herself as she's observed by others through various monitors.[19] Us Weekly described the set as an "elaborate, multilevel Chinese restaurant," complete with balconies, stairways and wide-screen monitors. The video's attire is all black, with the concept of "an overheated sexual fantasy," in specific a male dancer being "grabbed, pawed and shoved around" by Jackson as she "drops down, reaches through his legs and grabs his crotch," before she changes positions, "seizes his head and pulls it down to her own crotch." The excerpt concluded, "ignore the demure young woman whose musical message to a would-be lover used to be "Let's Wait Awhile." Ladies and gentlemen, cover your crotches: Janet Jackson has grown up."[42] Arena Magazine described it as a "dramatic" change, remarking "the black uniform ripped off to reveal a slimmed-down, body-conscious Janet. The transformation was dramatic." Jet Magazine thought the video displayed "a liberated Janet, who flirted with eroticism but steered clear of moves that would be considered pornographic," also used to "showcase her pelvic thrusts and flashy dance moves."[43] Billboard exclaimed "If" to be a "climax" which is "inseparable from its iconic music video," based on its "head-slapping choreography."[7] The video's "seductive style of movement" was heralded as an evolution, replacing bulky militant uniforms with "midriff baring tops and chokers," embracing her "womanhood and sexuality."[44][45] Slant Magazine thought the video fulfilled the purpose of "providing the impetus behind one of the greatest dance-break routines in music video history."[22] The video was also praised as featuring "some of the most iconic choreography in history," adding "it’s (sic) stunning imagery, ground-breaking choreography and Janet’s fierce attitude is what made this a masterpiece."[46]
Legacy and influence
"If" is one of several of Jackson's videos considered to influence a higher degree of sexual freedom among young women. Jean M. Twenge, author of Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled—and More Miserable Than Ever Before (2007), wrote "in the 1950s, only 3% of the young women had received oral sex from a man. By the mid-1990s, however, 75% of women aged 18-24 had experienced cunnilingus. Music videos by female artists have contributed to the trend," with Jackson "heavily implying male-on-female oral sex in music videos by pushing down on a man's head until he's in exactly the right position."[47] Similarly, Paula Kamen in Her Way: Young Women Remake the Sexual Revolution (2000) states that "[i]n the early to mid-1990s, oral sex even reached mainstream music as politically charged demand of truly liberated women," citing Jackson as a prime example of a female artist simulating cunnilingus in her videos, specifically in "If."[48]
The video was innovative for its depiction of touch-screen technology and web cams, which were not yet invented at the time of its release. Jackson later said, "I don’t think people really realize what we were showing in that video that wasn’t available with technology then. The video featured futuristic technology, specifically high definition touch screens. I wanted the actors in the video to use these screens to communicate, and relate with each other in the clubs. Similar to what we all do with our smart phones and tablets today. As I look at our lives now, it seems that life is imitating art."[36] Jackson's balance of masculine ensemble with feminine outfits was also regarded as an immense part of her appeal, saying "Janet was the queen of tomboy looks and a full fledged sex symbol at the same time. She merged the two opposites seamlessly, from baggy jeans and floppy hats to skintight Navajo bra tops in the "If" video."[49][50]
Britney Spears was influenced by "If" for videos such as "I'm a Slave 4 U", saying "Janet's video for 'If'. I saw that, and I admired it and wanted to be like her," calling Jackson a "powerful role model" with "her own identity".[51] Elements of the "If" choreography has been referenced frequently, including "multiple videos" by Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Pink, Ciara, Mýa, Missy Elliott, and N' Sync, with specific examples including Christina Milian's "Dip It Low", Lil' Kim's "No Matter What They Say", and Paula Abdul's "My Love Is for Real".[46] 'N Sync also performed the video's dance breakdown during the opening performance on their debut tour and in their "I Want You Back" video.[52] A critique of the video added, "Women want to be her. The gays want to be like her. Men want to do morally questionable things to her... The current crop of artists, "including Gaga, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Britney etc ALL follow her trail-blazing footsteps."[46]
Jackson's videography, the "If" video in particular, helped establish Tina Landon's career as a legendary choreographer, with many subsequent female pop artist, including Britney Spears, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Pink, Shakira, and Christina Aguilera, requesting to work with her for their own music videos and projects.[44]
Espectáculos en vivo
Jackson performed the song as a medley with "That's the Way Love Goes" at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 2, 1993.[53] She wore a leather crop top and jeans for this performance.[54] The performance was introduced by actor Christian Slater, who declared Jackson to have "the sexiest bellybutton I've ever seen" during the announcement.[55] The MTV Video Music Awards performance is often considered one of the most infamous and intricate performances of Jackson's career. Complex considered the performance among "The 25 Sexiest Moments in VMA History," commenting "when Britney and Christina were busy dealing with midterms and acne, Janet Jackson was the queen of bringing sexy to the VMA stage. Though it'd no doubt be considered tame by today's standards, Janet's exposed stomach and bra made for the hottest performance of the year."[56]
On the 1993-95 janet. World Tour, Jackson performed "If" as the opening song.[57] Lenny Stoute of the Toronto Star stated "This pelvic-thrusting, butt-wiggling, lip-licking high-energy temptress is a long way from the cute 'n' chubby girl next door of her previous Rhythm Nation tour. And she came equipped with the tough dance moves, firm muscles and seven costume changes to emphasize the difference."[58] Jet Magazine wrote, "Janet mesmerzied the crowd by opening with the hit song, 'If'."[59] It has also been performed on all of her following tours, the janet. World Tour, The Velvet Rope Tour, All for You Tour, Rock Witchu Tour, Number Ones, Up Close and Personal, Unbreakable World Tour, and the State of the World Tour. It is also included in her 2019 Las Vegas Residency Janet Jackson: Metamorphosis.
"If" was also performed at the 2009 American Music Awards as promotion for Number Ones, during a medley with "Miss You Much", "What Have You Done for Me Lately", "Make Me", and "Together Again". On the 2011 Number Ones, Up Close and Personal tour, The Boston Herald called the performance "an all-out dance onslaught," praising her ability to still perform "the same stylized dance moves from the classic 1993 video."[60][61] The Seattle Times exclaimed "As a woman who has never been afraid to strut her sexuality, her oh-no-you-didn't dance moves are always a delight. "If's" crotch grabbing and finger licking were classic Ms. Jackson (if you're nasty)", also saying this "served as reminders that dancing is sometimes as important as the songs themselves."[62][63] An additional critique declared routine "defined her career and set her apart from contemporaries, including the newer crop of performers," adding "the in-you-face-sexy "If" made it "apparent that Ms. Jackson hasn't lost a step — even at 45."[64]
Legado
In 2013, Esquire Magazine placed the song's "hypothetical" situation among their list of "Sexiest Janet Jackson songs," saying "Janet wants you but you're in another relationship and she respects boundaries (but her mind is still dirty)."[65] Rakesh Satwell of New York Magazine praised "If" as "a punch to the eardrum," declaring that it remains "as fresh as it did then" and a departure from radio trends twenty years after its release. Satwell considered the song "overwhelming" in the current mainstream landscape, in comparison to "our David Guetta glut." The song was commended as a "more impressive feat" for sounding "as it if it's from the future," in contrast to hits such as Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and Outkast's "Hey Ya!" which glorified "musical silk of the past."[66] In a similar comparison, its overall tone was considered "ten times more effective" than Rihanna's "S&M." Additionally, Satwell considered "If" one of Jackson's defining artistic moments, with the song's "sinister" and erotic tone evoked in future releases by artists such as Rihanna and Ke$ha. Satwell expressed consistently hearing "strains of its DNA" in various songs; its fusion of varied genres was considered to inspire subsequent stylistic songs such as LCD Soundsystem's "One Touch," Rihanna's "Rockstar 101," and Aaliyah's "What If?." The orchestral sample used twice was regarded as "genius" as an "innocuous but extremely effective garnish," allowing Jackson to "seethe with intensity" over the sound of "multiple drones." Satwell considered Jackson to make a "definitive sexual statement" in a way which was "groundbreaking, indelible, and mesmerizing way," concluding "few people have ever had more rhythm and control than Janet Jackson did in the summer of 1993."[66]
The song was applauded as a "sweaty, sexy dance workout" which "still holds up" twenty years after its premiere.[18] Slant Magazine ranked it the twenty-second best song of the nineties, saying the "dance rock" song "found Miss Jackson asserting her right to have an orgasm the likes of which would dwarf your puny muscular spasms." Over filtered production suggesting "a cybernetic logjam," the song effectively "prowls, marking its prey, staking its claim," likened to Jackson "playing with your mind". The song's peak of "sweet harmonies of the bridge" plunges into "the crunching paradox of the chorus," ultimately decided to be "more metallic than carnal".[22] The track was also heralded as "a BIG-ASS song that made a mark and blazed a trail." The song's theme of "hypothetical sexual fantasies" with undertones of sadness were considered "erotic and defiant", and its production of "wailing guitar chords, insanely catchy hip-hop beats, and some of Janet’s best vocals" determined it as potentially "the most eclectic song of her entire discography."[46] Alicia Jackson of The Redefined said the song's "soft, sing-song nature" melded with "pure raunchiness" were "the gateways to who I am today," in relating the lyrics contrasted with Jackson's shy persona.[67]

Electronic artist EPROM released a remix of "If" in 2011. Okayfuture described it as a "bubbly, reverb infused, deep bass remix", and Hypetrak said "Janet was one of the most influential pop albums during the early nineties. Thus, it is more than right that its standout single, "If," is still a demanded subject to reinterpretation."[72][73] Kaytranada released a remix of "If" in 2012. Okayplayer gave the remix a positive review, stating "That bumpin’ bassline, the infectious claps and overall bouncin’ nu-disco vibe... had us at hello. Rarely have we ever seen a sample done oh so right."[72]
