Michael Jackson
Bad
Michael Jackson Bad was released by Epic Records in September 1987, as the second single from Jackson's seventh studio album of the same name. The song was written by Jackson and produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones. Michael Jackson stated that the song was influenced by a real life story he'd read about. Musically, the song is a pop song with a dance groove tempo with R&B and funk musical styles. Lyrically, the song is about proving to people that you are tough, with Michael Jackson asking "who's bad?" in a repeating lyric in the song. "Bad" was generally well received by contemporary music critics, with some critics noting that "Bad" helped Michael Jackson's image become more edgier during the Bad-era. The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and remained at the top position of the chart for two weeks, becoming Michael Jackson's Bad albums second number one single, and Jackson's seventh number one entry on the chart. Internationally, the song was also commercially successful, charting within the top ten in eleven countries as well as charting within the top five in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Norwegian, Switzerland and Swedish charts. The song peaked at number one on the Netherlands and European charts. A music video for "Bad" was directed by Martin Scorsese and released in late 1987. In the video, Michael Jackson and a group of background dancers are shown doing dance routines throughout a subway station. The Michael Jackson Bad choreographer stated that the plot and video of the background was strongly influenced by the "Cool scene in West Side Story. The music video received one nominated from for the Video Music Awards in 1988. The music video has also been influential on other artists material, such as Lady GaGa. Michael Jackson Bad has been covered and parodied by multiple artists since its release as well as becoming a frequent song used during tributes to Michael Jackson after his death in June 2009.
