"Just a Little While" is a song by American recording artist Janet Jackson, released as the lead single from her eighth studio album, "Damita Jo" (2004). Written by Jackson and Dallas Austin, the song is a reflection of Jackson's new-found happiness. The song leaked ahead of its scheduled release, causing Jackson's record company to rush with a music video and promotion. It was released the day following Jackson's controversial Super Bowl Halftime Show performance incident, on February 2, 2004, as the lead single from "Damita Jo".
