"Throb" is a song by American R&B/pop singer Janet Jackson.

ong information

Released in 1994, it was the sixth single from Jackson's fifth studio album, "janet." (1993). The song is the second B-side on the single to "Any Time, Any Place", the album's fifth single.

Throughout the song, Jackson describes the constant "pounding" from a sexual partner while moaning sexually, which emphasizes she is having an orgasm while having sex through the song; this can be proven in her performance of "Throb" on "Saturday Night Live" in 1994, where Jackson puts her hands towards her genitals pretending to stimulate herself while moaning. It was also performed on Jackson's "janet. Tour" and "The Velvet Rope Tour". Choreographers Jossie Harris and Tina Landon provided additional talking vocals for the track.

"Throb" was released as a single in the Netherlands, for which there was no promotion or music video. It received radio airplay, and charted on the "Billboard" Hot 100 Airplay. The other B-side, "And on and On", went on to chart as well. However, due to restrictions, both were ineligible to chart on the "Billboard" Hot 100. An exclusive remix of the song "Throb" (Morales Badyard Mix) appears on Jackson's second remix compilation "janet. Remixed".
