Why it is here
- The song was written by Toto keyboardist Steve Porcaro after his young daughter was pushed off a slide, and Quincy Jones only rescued it for Thriller by chance after his cassette deck auto-reversed and kept playing the demo. source
- Michael Jackson recorded his vocal in a single take with no edits or punch-ins after waking from a nap at Westlake Studios. source
- It was sampled by Teddy Riley for SWV's 'Right Here' remix, which spent seven weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart, and by Nas on 'It Ain't Hard to Tell'. source
