“Boy, is that girl with you?”
Yes, we’re one and the sameNow I believe in miracles
And a miracle has happened tonightBut if you’re thinkin’ about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white
They print my message in the Saturday Sun
I had to tell them I ain’t second to none
And I told about equality
And it’s true
Either you’re wrong or you’re right
But if you’re thinkin’ about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
So when the going gets rough
I ain’t scared of your brother
I ain’t scared of no sheets
I ain’t scare of nobody
Girl, when the goin’ gets mean
[L. T. B. rap performance]
Protection for gangs, clubs and nations
Causing grief in human relations
It’s a turf war on a global scale
I’d rather hear both sides of the tale
See, it’s not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood comes from
Is where your space is
I’ve seen the bright get duller
I’m not going to spend my life being a color
[Michael]
Don’t tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
But if you’re thinkin’ about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white
I said if you’re thinkin’ of being my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white
I said if you’re thinkin’ of being my brother
It don’t matter if you’re black or white
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now
Ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now
[2x]
It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you to get by
It’s black, it’s white, woo

Jackson, şarkıyı 1983’te Paul Anka ile birlikte besteledi ve kaydetti. İlk demoda yalnızca Jackson’ın vokalleri ve parmak şıklatmaları ile Anka’nın çaldığı piyano yer almaktaydı. Anka, şarkıyı 1984’te Johnny Mathis’e yolladı. Bu arada şarkının sözleri Anka ve Kathleen Wakefield tarafından düzenlendi.

Jackson’ın demosu 2006’da internete sızdırıldı. “Love Never Felt So Good”, Xscape albümünün 2013-2014’te gerçekleşen çalışmaları dahilinde, disko tarzı bir şarkı olarak yeniden düzenlendi. John McClain ve Giorgio Tuinfort tarafından düzenlenen ve yalnızca Jackson tarafından seslendirilen ilk versiyon albümün açılış parçası oldu. Timbaland ve Jerome “J-Roc” Harmon tarafından düzenlenen ve Justin Timberlake vokallerinin de eklendiği ikinci versiyon, albümün delüks basımına dahil edildi.

Thriller – 1984
Thriller, Jackson’ın 1982 çıkışlı Thriller adlı dünyanın en çok satan albümünden çıkan yedinci ve son şarkıdır. Şarkı, Epic Records tarafından yayınlanmıştır. ABD’de 4 numaraya kadar yükselmiştir.
It’s close to midnight and something evil’s lurking
In the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops
Your heart
You try to scream, but terror takes the sound before
You make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between
The eyes
You’re paralyzed
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one’s gonna save you from the beast about to
Strike
You know it’s thriller, thriller night
You’re fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight
You hear the door slam and realize there’s nowhere
Left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you’ll ever see
The sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just
Imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin’ up
Behind
You’re out of time
‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain’t no second chance against the thing with
Forty eyes
You know it’s thriller, thriller night
You’re fighting for your life inside a killer
Thriller tonight
Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There’s no escapin’ the jaws of the alien this time
(They’re open wide)
This is the end of your life
They’re out to get you; there’s demons closing in on
Every side
They will possess you unless you change the number on
Your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close
Together
All through the night I’ll save you from the terrors on
The screen
I’ll make you see
That it’s a thriller, thriller night
‘Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost
Would ever dare try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller
Chiller
Thriller here tonight
That it’s a thriller, thriller night
‘Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost
Would ever dare try
Girl, this is thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y’awl’s neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse’s shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

Şarkı, sayısız ödül kazanmıştır. Michael Jackson, 1983 Grammy Ödülleri’nde “En İyi Erkek Rock Performansı” dalında Grammy Ödülü kazanmıştır. Şarkı ayrıca sene sonunda “Yılın Şarkısı” ödülüne yine kendi şarkısı Billie Jean ile beraber aday gösterilmiştir. Rolling Stone, şarkıyı Rolling Stone’un Tüm Zamanların En İyi 500 Şarkısı listesinde 337. numaraya seçmiştir.
Şarkı, bir hard rock ve pop-rock sentezidir. Bununla beraber şarkıdaki gitar soloları şarkının ana zeminidir. Şarkıda ayrıca Eddie Van Hallen ile ortak çalışma bulunmaktadır. Şarkı, okuyucu oylamaları sonucunda, “Guitar World” adlı dergide, 100 şarkı arasında 67. en iyi gitar solosu seçilmiştir. Şarkı, sokakların gangster hayatıyla ilgilidir. Bu hayat, Michael Jackson’ın gerçek tarzından fazlasıyla sapmıştır.
They told him, “Don’t you ever come around here.
Don’t wanna see your face. You better disappear.”
The fire’s in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
Don’t wanna see no blood, don’t be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
[Chorus]
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it [4x]
They’re out to get you, better leave while you can
Don’t wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you’re really not scared
You’re playin’ with your life, this ain’t no truth or dare
They’ll kick you, then they beat you, then they’ll tell you it’s fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
[Chorus 2x]
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
[Chorus 3x]
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it

Michael Jackson’ın ünlü Thriller albümünde yer alan parça, çocuğunun babasının şarkıcı olduğunu iddia eden bir kadın hakkındadır. Michael, parçayı kendisine mektup yazarak, oğlunun onun çocuğu olduğunu iddia eden ve Michael’a sıkıntılı zamanlar yaşatan bir kadından esinlenerek yazmıştır. Moonwalk adlı otobiyografisinde Michael, yapımcısı Quincy Jones’un parçanın adını, tenis yıldızı Billie Jean King ile karıştırılabilir diye, ‘Not My Lover’ olarak değiştirmek istediğini yazmıştır.Grand Theft Auto: Vice City oyununda Flash radyosuna eklenmiştir.
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don’t mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
[2nd verse]
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
[Bridge]
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do ’cause the lie becomes the truth
[Chorus]
Billie Jean is not my lover
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
[3rd verse]
For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when she’s in demand
Her schemes and plans
’cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(do think twice.)
[4th verse]
She told my baby we’d danced ’til three
Then she looked at me
She showed a photo of a baby crying
His eyes looked like mine
Go on dance on the floor in the round, baby
[Bridge]
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don’t go around breaking young girls’ hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
[Chorus]
Billie Jean is not my lover
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie Jean is not my lover
She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, she says he is my son
She says I am the one
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
Billie Jean is not my lover
