When Shanice was recording her 1991 album Inner Child , she didn't actually want "I Love Your Smile" to be the first single.
: Shanice was a fan of harder-edged rap groups like Salt-N-Pepa and MC Lyte at the time. She worried that "I Love Your Smile" was "too happy" and might make her look corny to the public.
: The song features a saxophone solo by jazz legend Branford Marsalis .
: The laughter heard at the end of the track actually belongs to Janet Jackson and her then-partner René Elizondo Jr.
