Smooth Criminal
Jackson releases Smooth Criminal the seventh single from the Bad album. The song is written, produced and sung by Jackson and originally inspired by a classic western. The song is about a gangster who breaks into a woman named Annie’s apartment and kills her right before she is smitten by his suave personality. Jackson wanted the dance moves for the music video to express the sadness and anger from the criminal activity.
I want the music to dictate the way we feel…it’s gotta dictate our emotions. We expressing the way everybody feels. We’re looking at what you always wanted to say to the world. Passion anger and fire.

Leave Me Alone
Jackson releases Leave Me Alone from The Essential Michael Jackson. The song is composed, written and produced by Jackson. It highlights all of the negative stories and slander that was written about Jackson by the tabloid and broadcast media, including stories about sleeping in a gas chamber and purchasing the ‘Elephant Man’s’ bones.
It’s not true. It’s like looking at a fictitious movie because it’s fiction. It’s science fiction. It’s not true. I know myself and it’s sad when other people have to read those things and they believe it. I know eventually the truth will prevail and I’m about truth.
