Background and writing [edit]

"Someone to Call My Lover" was written and produced by Janet Jackson, James Harris III and Terry Lewis.[one] The song's looped guitar riff is sampled from America'southward 1972 hitting "Ventura Highway", with Dewey Bunnell receiving writing credits. The loop played throughout the chorus is an interpolation of "Gymnopédie No. 1" by French classical composer Erik Satie, played in 4/4 time instead of the original three/4. Jackson had searched for years for the catchy Satie track.

When I was a picayune girl and I used to come habitation from school, there was something chosen "The three:30 Flick", and they used to play the MGM Musicals. There was a commercial. I call up watching Singin' in the Rain and in that location was a commercial with the lady all in white, and I don't know if it was for Dove or something like that, only they would play this, 'Da, da, da.' Information technology was the Erik Satie. I never knew who the composer was, and this vocal never left me.[two]

Jackson said she came across the melody once more nigh seven years later on: "I was at Ralph Lauren and I said, 'Oh, my God! Is this the radio or is this a CD?' I said, 'Please tell me it'southward a CD.' They said, 'It'due south a CD—well, actually it'southward a Ralph Lauren CD and we don't have it anymore. I was like, 'Oh God...no,' and they gave me the CD."[ii] Jackson said, "I took it straight to Jimmy [Jam] and said, 'Jimmy, I've only got to share this with you,' and he saw my passion and my love for information technology. He didn't take the bodily song, but he kind of put his own flavour to it in 'Someone To Call My Lover,' which takes me dorsum to my childhood."[2] In an interview, Jimmy said, "And for 'Someone to Telephone call My Lover,' she hadn't heard the 'Ventura Highway' sample before. She hadn't heard those songs. So it'due south kind of fun to come with stuff like that and play information technology for her. And she hasn't heard of information technology, but she still really likes it. So you have something that's going to appeal to people that oasis't heard information technology before, it's going to grab them, merely it'southward besides going to catch the people who are nostalgic almost it."[3]

Composition and music [edit]

At the time of recording, Jackson had just divorced her husband, René Elizondo, Jr., after most ten years of marriage.

In the pre-chorus, she fantasizes where her dream guy might be, "Maybe we'll meet at a bar / He'll drive a funky car / Perhaps we'll meet at a social club / And fall so deeply in love," she sings. In the chorus, she's eager to find a guy to love, "Alright, mayhap gonna find him today / I gotta go someone to call my lover / Yeah, baby, come on," she chants.[4]
