THE STORY BEHIND THE SONGS: Michael Jackson | WHO IS IT
Genesis
“Michael’s songs, even if on some abstract base, to me were always somehow autobiographical, you know. It always felt that way, knowing him really well and the complexities in and out of his life…I always felt it was autobiographical; even if it was something he was resisting, it would come out in a song. And I think he’s very lucky to have that, that ability to be such a good songwriter and a singer too, to get it out. It’s cathartic,” Quincy Jones said on the reissue of the album Bad in 2001.
Originally destined for the “best of” project Decade, Who Is It is one of the gems on Dangerous, in which Michael Jackson sings of unhappiness in love. The song acted as an echo of Billie Jean and Dirty Diana, and the King of Pop revealed himself with unprecedented maturity and selflessness. The song’s theme is loaded with unusual mystery, with a darkness and resignation that cannot be expressed unless they have been experienced personally.
The song was written in 1990 in collaboration with the producer Bill Bottrell, who had witnessed Michael Jackson’s most intimate emotions. No song since Be Not Always had displayed so much palpable suffering. According to his former producer Quincy Jones, the singer, without a doubt, intended this song to be a release in which he would open his soul and his heart, turning to his audience as his confidant.
Production
An army of keyboard players features in Who Is It, accompanying the song’s resigned tone. A myriad of skillfully mixed sounds materialize and burst forth, sometimes disconcerting or troubling the listener.
In March 1993, when Give in to Me was destined to be a new single for the US market, its short film was given an exclusive screening during the TV show Michael Jackson shared with Oprah Winfrey. On that occasion, the singer performed Who Is It with some beatboxing which was so incredible that the record label canceled the release of Give in to Me and replaced it with Who Is It.
The exclusive version from this a cappella performance goes by the title The Oprah Winfrey Special Intro. The single did not take the world’s charts by storm, nor did it leave a mark in the collective unconscious, but it nevertheless retains a very special place in the hearts of the singer’s admirers.

Genesis
The seventh of the nine short films for the album Dangerous was entrusted to the skilled director David Fincher, after he had finished shooting the movie Alien 3 and before he made the fabulous Seven and Fight Club.
Together, they were to create the most photographically striking and mysterious short film in the career of the Michael Jackson. The director did not want to show Michael in his glittering outfits. In the video his clothing is sober, and only his pants, slightly short and allowing a glimpse of his socks, could be said to be faintly reminiscent of the artist’s usual dress code. Neither was there any question of his seducing the camera with his devastatingly effective dance steps or other gimmicks: he was to be manly, a dandy, and highly respectable.
