Updated February 13, 2020 at 7:56 AM·1 min read

Janet Jackson gave a textbook performance in a classroom-like setting on “The Tonight Show.”

In a number with host Jimmy Fallon and his show’s musicians on kid instruments posted Wednesday, the pop icon sang it sweet and soulful on her 1995 hit “Runaway.”

She looked like she was having fun, too.

Class dismissed!
