In September 2009 , Janet Jackson performed " Scream " on the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards as part of a medley tribute to Michael Jackson , who died three months earlier . Following this , " Make Me " was released on Jackson 's official website as an audio stream for those who joined the site 's e-mail newsletter . On September 22 , 2009 it was released as a digital download for purchase . Although claims were made that " Make Me " is a tribute song to her late brother , Michael Jackson 's 1979 single " Do n't Stop 'Til You Get Enough " , Jackson later stated in an interview with Ryan Seacrest it is not , despite the similarity of the lyrics in the song 's outro . In October 2009 , UMe issued a press release stating " Make Me " would be included in Jackson 's second greatest hits album , comprising 33 of her global number one singles . The two-disc set spans chart-topping singles from '' Control '' ( 1986 ) to '' Discipline '' ( 2008 ) across the '' Billboard '' Hot 100 , Hot R&B / Hip-Hop Songs , Hot Dance Club Songs , Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks , and international charts such as Oricon and the South African Singles Chart
