history
Jackson initially wanted to record the piece, which was written by Jackson himself, with singers such as Barbra Streisand and Whitney Houston . Even Aretha Franklin and Agnetha Faltskog ( ABBA ) were considered. But everyone had different obligations. Siedah Garrett, sponsored by Jackson's producer Quincy Jones , came into play after co-writing Man in the Mirror .
In the original the song has a longer spoken intro. This was u. a. omitted from many compilations and other Bad releases. Some new editions of the album contain versions of the title in Spanish ( Todo mi amor eres tu ) and French ( Je ne veux pas la fin de nous ).
