[edit] Song information and music video
The song is a dance track which samples Herbie Hancock's "Rockit".[2] The song premiered on August 19, 2006 on Jermaine Dupri's So So Def Radio on Atlanta radio station WVEE-FM.[3] The song was made available for digital download as a free with 20 Y.O. pre-orders on iTunes on August 29, 2006. It debuted on BET's 106 & Park on the album's release date, September 26, 2006.
The music video for "So Excited" was filmed in Los Angeles on August 23 and 24.[4] Joseph Kahn directed the video,[5] which premiered on September 13, 2006, on BET's Access Granted.
In the video, Janet and her crew dance in an abandoned train station. The costumes the dancers sport, could be described as gothic. Throughout the dance routine, Janet and her female dancers morph, dancing clothed and naked, covering their breasts. The camera often acts as an x-ray, seeing through doorways and bodies, also revealing that the room Janet is in is actually beside the one Jermaine Dupri is in. Janet is seen in a hotel room blindfolding a guy, making out in a public restroom, and being fed strawberries in a car. Khia is seen rapping on a hotel television. Dupri is featured shaving in a bathroom while rapping, with a mysterious woman showering in the background.
On October 31, 2006, "So Excited" hit number one on BET's 106 & Park, it has also reached number one on MuchMoreMusic's daily top ten and number 8 on that channel's weekly Countdown.[6]

[edit] Trivia
- In the music video, Khia's guest appearance was limited to just a spoken part in the chorus. Whereas in the album version, she has more of an appearance on the song. However, during the Access Granted show, her rap verse was shown being filmed.
- Video director Joseph Kahn stated during Access Granted that this is the first video he has ever filmed using digital video cameras only.
- Some radio stations edit out the lines "have you inside of me," and "keep your body thumpin'".
- Until October 10, 2006 MTV refused to play "So Excited". The video finally aired during MTV Video Wake-up. The video is still not elgible for vote on TRL.
- There are multiple versions of the video. The original version (containing Khia's rap, and is brighter), a revised version (a brighter version with different scenes, also known as the "VH1 Version" among fans), and the premiere version (a darker version, previewed on Access Granted, also known as the "BET Version" among fans).
