Finnish-born, New York-based artist Janita is back with her latest single, “I Want You I Warn You”. The track is the second single from her highly anticipated tenth studio album, Mad Equation, due out in May. Following the record-breaking success of “Real Deal,” which became the most-streamed single in ECR Music Group history with nearly 250,000 streams and placements on Spotify’s New Music Friday and Apple Music’s New In Alternative, Janita continues to push boundaries with this bold, unapologetic anthem.
“I Want You I Warn You” is a love song with a bite—a declaration of desire and agency that feels both personal and political. As Janita explains, the song is about a woman unapologetically stating what she wants, a simple act that, in today’s world, can still be perceived as threatening. The track is a masterclass in tension and release, blending raw, gritty guitars with Janita’s commanding vocals to create a sound that’s as fierce as it is vulnerable. The production, co-helmed by Blake Morgan (known for his work with Lenny Kravitz and Lesley Gore), is sharp and dynamic, perfectly capturing the song’s dual nature of passion and power.
Lyrically, the song is a statement of intent. Lines like “I want you, I warn you” are delivered with a mix of seduction and defiance, embodying the strength of a woman who knows her worth and isn’t afraid to claim her space. Janita’s ability to weave personal narrative with broader cultural commentary is on full display here, making *“I Want You I Warn You”* not just a song, but a manifesto.
Musically, the track is a testament to Janita’s versatility and refusal to be boxed into any one genre. Drawing from her roots in blue-eyed soul, alternative rock, and pop, she creates a sound that’s uniquely her own. The arrangement is bold and unrelenting, with a driving rhythm section and searing guitar work that underscores the song’s intensity. It’s a sound that feels both timeless and urgently modern, a hallmark of Janita’s artistry.
This single is a glimpse into Mad Equation, an album that promises to be as enigmatic and multifaceted as its creator. Janita describes the album’s title as a metaphor for the unpredictability of human connection—and perhaps a nod to her own career, which has consistently defied categorization. From her early days as Finland’s biggest pop star to her evolution into an independent, genre-defying artist, Janita has always been a force to be reckoned with.
“I Want You I Warn You” is more than just a song; it’s a statement of empowerment, a reminder that claiming one’s desires and space in the world is an act of courage. With its raw energy, unapologetic lyrics, and Janita’s magnetic presence, this track is poised to resonate deeply with listeners and further cement her status as one of music’s most compelling voices.
Janita continues to prove why she’s a trailblazer in the music industry. “I Want You I Warn You” is a powerful, unforgettable track that demands attention and refuses to be ignored.
