"Come Give Your Love to Me" is the second single from Janet Jackson's self-titled debut album Janet Jackson (1982). The song was written by Glen Barbee and Charmaine Sylvers.[1]

It peaked at number fifty-eight on the U.S. pop chart, seventeen on the R&B chart, and thirty on the dance chart. Following Janet's breakthrough in 1986 with the album Control, the song was included as a b-side on the 1986 single "When I Think of You".

Critical reception

Billboard called it "a lean rock number in the electronic new-music style, sparsely arranged."[2]

Live performances

Other than a few television appearances at the time of its release, to date, Jackson has never performed the song on any of her tours.
