Much was riding on the song, as it would either prove or disprove detractors of Jackson, who thought she was a fluke and a one-hit-album wonder. As it happened, it became one of Jackson's biggest-selling singles to date, hitting #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B/Hip Hop Singles & Tracks charts, and becoming her second number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, where it remained for four weeks.

Janet was honored with two American Music Awards for Favorite Soul/R&B Single and Favorite Dance Single for "Miss You Much", and was nominated for Favorite Dance Artist and a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. The single also won a Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single, Female. The single contains a b-side called "You Need Me". The b-side was an outtake from Rhythm Nation 1814. The song is about Janet's personal feelings about her father, and how the tables are turned, that now he needs her. At the time of its release there were reports that the b-side weas the product of Janet's record labels pressure on her in an attempt to produce specifically "Control Part 2" which reportedly was to address the rumors that remained in the press regarding her personal life and family. Janet never caved in and followed the alleged orders to produce the project beyond this single track and therefore it is considered autobiographical and a collectors' item.
