Songfacts®:

  • This was the fourth single taken from Jackson's 1991 album Dangerous.
  • The song was written, arranged and composed by Michael Jackson and produced by Jackson and Bill Bottrell.
  • R&B and hip-hop producer Teddy Riley worked on many of the Dangerous tracks. He recalled to Musicradar.com: "This reminds me so much of Dirty Diana. I think he recaptured that sound on this song. You know, I think he went back to his roots of recording with this song to record an incredible track. I thought it would take someone like Quincy Jones [who produced Dirty Diana] to really put an incredible track like that together. I thought it would take someone like Quincy to get that sound, but Michael came up with it."
  • Filmmaker David Fincher, now known for acclaimed movies like Fight Club and The Social Network, directed the music video. In the clip, Jackson discovers his girlfriend is a high-class call girl.
