While her divorce was reflected in some of the songs with themes of deceit and betrayal, she was also inspired by her new experiences with dating and fresh love, and wrote plenty of songs about romance and sex. The tone for much of the album was LighterAndSofter than ''Music/TheVelvetRope'' was. The RAndB was joined by Dance Pop, {{Funk}}, straight RockAndRoll, and even a little {{Disco}}. And unlike her past releases, the songs on the album were explicit enough to both earn Janet her first [[ContentWarnings Parental Advisory sticker]], and, like ''The Velvet Rope'', get the album banned in UsefulNotes/{{Singapore}}.

Critics commended the generally upbeat sound of this album; the most common criticism had to do with overproduction in some of the songs. It was Janet's fifth-consecutive album to hit #1 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart in the United States, and went triple-Platinum, ultimately selling over 5 million copies worldwide.

In 2000, Janet had separated from her second husband, René Elizondo Jr. Their marriage was secret, but the divorce was public...and ''very'' messy. While dealing with that, and working on this album, she also starred with Creator/EddieMurphy in the film ''Film/NuttyProfessorIITheKlumps''.

The soundtrack for that film featured a #1 song, "Doesn't Really Matter". With that song added to this album as well, it would serve to set the tone for the songs that it would accompany.

* StudioChatter: Most of it is just used for interludes throughout the album, but "2wayforyou" actually blends in with the ending of the preceding title track, segueing in by Janet's pager (which uses the melody of the song's refrain as its notifier) going off during recording.

Not including "Doesn't Really Matter", three singles were released from the album: the TitleTrack, "Someone to Call My Lover", and "Son of a Gun (I Bet You Think This Song is About You)". The last of those was a duet with Music/CarlySimon, and one of the deepest dives into her divorce. All three were Top 40 hits; "All For You" would ultimately go #1 in the US, and hit #3 in the UK.

'''''All For You''''' is the seventh studio album by American singer Music/JanetJackson. It was released through Creator/VirginRecords on April 16, 2001.

In 2000, Janet had separated from her second husband, René Elizondo Jr. Their marriage was secret, but the divorce was public...and ''very'' messy. While dealing with that, and working on this album, she also starred with Creator/EddieMurphy in the film ''Film/NuttyProfessorIITheKlumps''.

The soundtrack for that album featured a #1 song, "Doesn't Really Matter". With that song added to this album as well, it would serve to set the tone for the songs on this album.

While her divorce was reflected in some of the songs with themes of deceit and betrayal, she was also inspired by her new experiences with dating and fresh love, and wrote plenty of songs about romance and sex. The tone for much of the album was LighterAndSofter than ''Music/TheVelvetRope'' was. The RAndB was joined by DancePop, {{Funk}}, straight RockAndRoll, and even a little {{Disco}}.

Critics commended the generally upbeat sound of this album. It was Janet's fifth-consecutive album to hit #1 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart in the United States, and went triple-Platinum, ultimately selling over 5 million copies worldwide.

Not including "Doesn't Really Matter", three singles were released from the album: the TitleTrack, "Someone to Call My Lover", and "Son of a Gun (I Bet You Think This Song is About You)". The last of those was a duet with Music/CarlySimon, and one of the deepest dives into her divorce. All three were Top 40 hits; "All For You" would ultimately go #1 in the US, and hit #3 in the UK.

"All For You" would win the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording in 2002.

Janet did a world tour to promote the album from July 2001 through February 2002. She was originally set to star in the halftime show for Super Bowl XXXVI, but stepped aside in favor of Music/{{U2}} in the wake of [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror 9/11]]. The terrorist attacks resulted in the cancellation of several tour dates in the European leg of the tour, including a planned live appearance at the 2001 MTV Europe Music Awards in Frankfurt.

A Limited Version CD-DVD combo was released on November 20, 2001. It added two remixes of "Son of a Gun", and included a DVD with various behind-the-scenes features from her recordings with Virgin, as well as all the music videos to that point from her Virgin albums.

* IntercourseWithYou: "All For You" has among her most explicit lyrics about having sex:
-->''All my girls at the party, look at that body''\\
''Shaking that thing like you never did see''\\
''Got a nice package alright''\\
''Guess I'm gonna have to ride it tonight''
* LetsDuet: Janet wanted to sample "You're So Vain" for "Son of a Gun". But Carly wanted to re-record her lines. Both singers liked the combination so much, it turned into an actual duet.
* LighterAndSofter: Despite some of the tribulations in Janet's life at the time, the album strikes a lighter tone than ''The Velvet Rope''.
* WomanScorned: "Son of a Gun"
