All Nite (Don't Stop)" is a song by American recording artist Janet Jackson released as the third single from her eighth studio album, Damita Jo, on May 24, 2004.
The song contains a sample of Herbie Hancock's 1975 song "Hang up Your Hang Ups". It was the lead double A-side with "I Want You", released internationally in countries like the United Kingdom and Australia, and contains the B-side "Put Your Hands On", which appears as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of Damita Jo. The song "R&B Junkie" can be found on the promo vinyl single of "All Nite (Don't Stop)".
Jackson performed a medley of "All Nite (Don't Stop)" and "R&B Junkie" at the 2004 BET Awards, together with Elephant Man, who also remixed "All Nite (Don't Stop)". The pairing attracted some criticism in the LGBT community, as Elephant Man had been previously known for homophobic lyrics. Jackson had previously apologised to the gay community for her previous collaboration with Beenie Man, also known for his homophobic lyrics, on his 2002 single "Feel It Boy". The song peaked at number nineteen on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. Although not her first single to miss the Hot 100, it was still a major disappointment. The song also failed to chart in Canada and missed the top thirty in most of European countries. It did, however, reach number twenty-four in Australia and number nineteen in the UK. Despite the single's rather poor sales, "All Nite (Don't Stop)" managed to top the Hot Dance Club Play chart, securing yet another chart-topping dance hit for Jackson.
The song, however received some radio airplay on Top 40 mainstream stations where it charted at #33 on the Billboard Pop Songs, where it became the only single to do so from the album.
In mid-March 2008, following the success of "Feedback", the single re-entered the Hot 100 Singles Sales at number forty, giving it a new peak.
The video was directed by Francis Lawrence from June 27-30, 2004 (who also directed 2001's "Someone to Call My Lover"). It was filmed at the El Dorado Hotel, an abandoned hotel in the Skid Row neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, during a blackout. Gil Duldulao choreographed the video.
