Someone to Call My Lover (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles "Someone to Call My Lover" is a song by American singer Janet Jackson from her seventh studio album, All for You (2001). Written and produced by Jackson and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the song was released as the album's second single in June 2001. The song's looped guitar riff is sampled from America's 1972 hit "Ventura Highway." The loop played throughout the chorus is an interpolation of "Gymnopedie No. 1" by French classical composer Erik Satie, played in 4/4 time instead of the original 3/4. Jackson had searched for years for the catchy Satie track. "When I was a little girl and I used to come home from school, there was something called "The 3:30 Movie," and they used to play the MGM Musicals. There was a commercial. I remember watching Singin' in the Rain and there was a commercial with the lady all in white, and I don't know if it was for Dove or something like that, but they would play this, 'Da, da, da.' It was the Erik Satie. I never knew who the composer was, and this song never left me."
