I was in the supermarket the other day and fell victim to a pop song playing over the PA.

It was a medium tempo song, and the vocalist sounded like Janet Jackson. The lyrics I remember are like “only thing that’s missing is YOU” and when she sings “YOU” then a chorus of like-sounding singers starts in with “Yeah, yeah, yeah” and then the lead vocal starts singing on top of that. It had a Jackson-like lush vocal production quality to it. Any ideas?

That sounds like Janet Jackson’s “Runaway” to me. Or is it “Run Away”? Either way, find that, you’ll find your supermarket song. 🆒
