"Don't Worry" is a song by American rapper Chingy with guest vocals from singer Janet Jackson, released as the second promotional single from his second album Powerballin', which sold over two million copies worldwide and served as the follow-up to his debut album Jackpot. A music video was not filmed.
The song was produced by Grammy Award-winning producers The Trak Starz, who also worked with Britney Spears, Usher, and Ludacris, and also produced Chingy's prior chart-topping hits "Right Thurr", "Holidae In", and "One Call Away".
Jackson rarely collaborates with other artists and initially refused to provide guest vocals on "Don't Worry", as well as denying a request to appear on Chingy's then-rival Nelly's "Tilt Ya Head Back" (although she would later collaborate with him on her single "Call on Me"). After Chingy, the song's producers The Trak Starz, and their manager Larry Rudolph persisted her over a period of several months, she eventually agreed to lend her vocals to the song.
"Don't Worry" was released as the second promotional single from Chingy's second album "Powerballin'", which sold over two million copies worldwide and served as the follow-up to his debut Jackpot.
Chingy's official biography mentions the song, reading "Then, on the romantic, Janet Jackson duet "Don't Worry," Chingy expresses his love for and dedication to the lady in his life over a smooth sound bed from The Trak Starz, who also delivered Jackpot's third smash single, "One Call Away." "I like your style, your grace/Your beautiful face, your essence," Chingy raps with a gentle touch." "Don't Worry" contains an interpolation of Tony! Toni! Toné!'s "Just Me and You", which appeared on the Boyz n the Hood soundtrack.
