"You Want This" was written and produced by Janet Jackson, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and contains samples from Diana Ross & the Supremes' 1968 song "Love Child" and Kool & the Gang's 1973 song "Jungle Boogie". Several remixes feature rapper MC Lyte, The song is about Jackson being told by her girls that a guy is watching and wanting her. Jackson proclaims if the guy wants to be with her, he has to work for it. The single contains two B-sides, the janet. track "New Agenda" and the then-unreleased "70's Love Groove".
