Here we have a beat unlike anything else on this chart, combined with Michael’s unmistakable vocal stylings (”jamon!”) and maybe the greatest first line of any song ever (”Your butt is mine…”).

I feel so bad for giving like every MJ single 100 but they're literally just that good. I'm not even biased, his singles are just that good.

Fun Fact: Prince was meant to be on this song. But after he heard the first line “Your butt is mine”, he opted out. He said “You’re not singing that about me, and I’m damn sure not singing that about you”

That's probably his best song, alongside Thriller and Billie Jean!
