Nelly Furtado talks about how Janet inspired her:
MTV: You had to know that people were going to read things into that title, considering the sexual aggressiveness of some of the songs.
Furtado: Well, I wanted it to be assertive and cool, like TLC, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah — they're sexy but fun. When I was 14, Janet Jackson came out with "That's the Way Love Goes," and she was comfortable in her sexuality and womanhood, and that was inspiring to me.
