1. Feedback

   Feedback is a song by American recording artist Janet Jackson, released as the lead single from her tenth studio album, Discipline. It was written and produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and D'Mile, with additional writing from Tasleema Yasin and LaShawn Daniels. "Feedback" fuses electropop and dance, while also incorporating elements of Eurodance and hip hop. Its lyrical composition is based on Jackson's sexual bravado; questioning the listener while responding with a chant of "sexy, sexy". Its chorus compares her body to instruments such as a guitar and amplifier, using metaphors to demonstrate sexual climax. Several music critics praised its dance sound and contrast from her prior release. It reached number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and peaked atop the Hot Dance Club Play chart, becoming her highest-peaking single since "Someone to Call My Lover." Internationally, it topped the charts in South Korea and reached the top ten in Canada, Greece, Slovakia and South Africa. Its music video, directed by Saam Farahmand, portrays Jackson jumping from various planets before dancing among an unidentified white liquid. The video received positive reception from critics, who praised its galactic visuals and choreography. Jackson performed "Feedback" on Good Morning America, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and TRL - the latter being Jackson's first appearance on MTV since her 2004 Super Bowl performance incident. "Feedback" received three nominations at the International Dance Music Awards.

1. Feedback

   Feedback is a process in which information about the past or the present influences the same phenomenon in the present or future. As part of a chain of cause-and-effect that forms a circuit or loop, the event is said to "feed back" into itself. Feedback is also a synonym for: ⁕Feedback signal - the measurement of the actual level of the parameter of interest. ⁕Feedback mechanism - the action or means used to subsequently modify the gap. ⁕Feedback loop - the complete causal path that leads from the initial detection of the gap to the subsequent modification of the gap.
