Janet Jackson’s “Doesn’t Really Matter” is basically about falling for someone beyond what people see on the outside. Looks, status, other people’s opinions — none of it matters when you’re genuinely in love with who that person is.
Released in 2000 for The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, the song was written and produced by Janet with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. It later appeared on her album All for You, blending pop, R&B, and dance with that very Y2K Janet sound. The music video went full futuristic too, with Japanese-inspired visuals, an AIBO robot, a prototype Acura, and a production reportedly costing more than $2.5 million.
And the song wasn’t just a soundtrack hit. “Doesn’t Really Matter” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, making it Janet’s ninth U.S. No. 1. It also reached the Top 10 in several other countries, including No. 5 in the UK.
And honestly, this lyric still sums it up perfectly:
“Doesn’t really matter what the eye is seeing / ’Cause I’m in love with the inner being.”
