"Again" is a song by American singer Janet Jackson, appearing first as the closing song to the 1993 film "Poetic Justice", and later included on Jackson's fifth album "Janet" (1993). Written and produced by Jackson and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the ballad was released as the album's third single on October 12, 1993, by Virgin Records, and talks about the reconnection with an old friend. Originally an experimental sound Jam and Lewis was considering for the album, they did not give the song serious contemplation until the film producers from "Poetic Justice" requested a ballad for the soundtrack.
