Executives at A&M wanted a record that was similar to Control, but Jackson was determined to do the exact opposite. She presented a mixed bag of socially-conscious tracks (inspired by the work of Marvin Gaye and Joni Mitchell), danceable New Jack Swing tunes, a rare rock number and several romantic ballads.
Producers Jimmy Jam, and Terry Lewis, originally wanted the album's more upbeat tracks to be housed on the first half on the album, with the socially-conscious material featured on the second half. Jackson disagreed. She thought the album had an important message and pushed it to be the record's main focus.

Control remains one of my favourite albums of all time, first time I heard it I thought it was a stunning album, remember seeing her singing Let's Wait Awhile on TOTP and it shot straight into the top 5 from the middle thirties due to her performance, superb.
