An instrumental interlude of the song was included on the Velvet Rope Tour in 1998 right before the performance of “Rope Burn”, where Jackson picks an unsuspecting member of the audience onto stage and teases them with her performance which included a lap dance.

It was later included on the 2008 Rock Witchu Tour, as an interlude for the performance of “Discipline”, on which she and her dancers pull up a male audience member and strap him into a harness; he was then suspended midair as Jackson teased him with a highly suggestive set of moves and the breathy soft-core porn of the track.

She repeated the performance during the 2010 Essence Music Festival. Additionally, an interlude of the song was included on the 2011 Number Ones, Up Close and Personal. It was also included on her 2015–16 Unbreakable World Tour, sampling Kendrick Lamar’s “Poetic Justice”. It was later added to her performances at the 2018 and 2022 Essence Music Festival, held in New Orleans, Louisiana, which she headlined.
