Track written and co-produced, with Quincy Jones, by Michael.

Originally titled 'Not My Lover' (to avoid any confusion with the tennis player, Billie Jean King), and inspired by obsessive young women who accused Michael and his brothers of fathering their children.

Producer Quincy Jones wasn't too impressed with the demo of the song - he didn't care much for the bass. The song is mixed by Bruce Swedien, who usually did just one mix of a song - but he did 91 of Billie Jean, before the second mix was eventually chosen!

"Quincy said, 'okay, this song has to have the most incredible drum sound that anybody has ever done, but it also has to have one element that's different, and that's sonic personality'," said Swedien. "What I ended up doing was building a drum platform and designing some special little things, like a bass drum cover and a flat piece of wood that goes between the snare and hi-hat... the bottom line is that there aren't many pieces of music where you can hear the first three or four notes of the drums and immediately tell what the piece of music is. But I think that is the case with Billie Jean and that I attribute to sonic personality".

Billie Jean - Lyrics

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

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

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

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

For forty days and for 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)

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no!)
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby

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

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, but the kid is not 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
Billie Jean is
Billie Jean is

Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover
Not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)
Billie Jean is not my lover (she is just a girl)

Oui que dire de Billie Jean…chanson méga culte, sublime et efficace. J’écouterai plus facilement les version Live maintenant car la version album je lŕ connais plus que par cœur (combien de milliers d’écoutes en tout ?). En live il improvise magistralement ŕ la fin autour de Ť Not My Lover ť

"Billie Jean" to singel Michaela Jacksona z 1983 z jego albumu Thriller. Oprócz zajęcia pierwszego miejsca na liście Billboardu, utwór był także numerem jeden na liście singli R&B przez dziewięć tygodni w Stanach Zjednoczonych i jest znany jako jedna z najlepiej przyjętych przez krytyków kompozycja Michaela Jacksona. Została uznana za najlepszy singel roku przez krytyków The Village Voice i otrzymała dwie nagrody Grammy w 1984, w kategoriach: Best Male R&B Vocal Performance oraz Best New Rhythm & Blues Song. Została nominowana do Grammy w kategorii Record of the Year i Song of the Year, razem z "Beat It" w 1984. W 2005, magazyn Blender uznał "Billie Jean" za najlepszy utwór od 1980[1]. 6 marca 2006, "Billie Jean" została wydana ponownie w postaci singla w Wielkiej Brytanii jako część Visionary: The Video Singles. Singel dotarł do 11 miejsca na UK Top 40. Głównie poprzez wpływ, jaki wywarł na przemysł muzyczny teledysk, a także wykonanie piosenki na żywo, podczas którego Jackson przywdziewa czarny kapelusz z pofałdowanym wierzchem, czarną, lśniącą marynarkę i pojedynczą cekinową rękawicę oraz wykonuje swój najsłynniejszy ruch taneczny, tzw. moonwalk, "Billie Jean" jest uznawana za jego znak rozpoznawczy. Michael Jackson potraktował komponowanie "Billie Jean" w bardzo osobisty sposób, opierając się na prawdziwych zdarzeniach. W okolicach 1981, podczas trasy zespołu rodzinnego, kobieta, która jak się okazało szpiegowała Jacksona, oskarżyła go o nieprzyznawanie się do ojcostwa jej bliźniąt. Posunęła się nawet do nazwania się "Billie Jean Jackson" i twierdziła, że jest żoną piosenkarza. Kobieta została później wysłana do szpitala psychiatrycznego. Później, w wywiadzie z 1996, Jackson powiedział, że w karierze poznał wiele takich "Billie Jean", które były groupies zespołu Jackson 5. "Każda dziewczyna twierdziła, że jej dziecko ma coś wspólnego z jednym z moich braci", powiedział artysta.[potrzebne źródło] Jackson zaczął pisać pierwszą wersję demo piosenki w swoim domu w Wilson w Północnej Karolinie, jesienią 1981. Kiedy przedstawił ją swojemu producentowi, Quincy'emu Jonesowi, Jones chciał zatytułować piosenkę "Not My Lover". Uważał, że gdy słuchacze zaznajomią się z tytułem, mogą uznać, że Jackson nawiązuje do gwiazdy tenisa, którą był wówczas Billie Jean King[2]. Powiedział również, iż intro do piosenki jest zbyt długie; Jackson odpowiedział, że długie intro sprawia, że chce się tańczyć. Jackson wygrał różnicę zdań: tytuł został, a piosenka miała długie intro[3]. Postać Billie Jean jest wprowadzona poprzez krótkie nawiązanie w pierwszym utworze albumu "Thriller", pt. "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'". Uważa się, że Jackson nagrał wokal za pierwszym podejściem. Jednak to jego aranżacja pomogła "Billie Jean" stać się wyjątkowym utworem. Jackson chciał napisać "idealną partię basu" i pracował nad nią przez kilka tygodni, zanim osiągnął efekt finalny. Linia basowa, nagrana przez Louisa Johnsona, jest jednym z najlepszych muzycznych dokonań Jacksona. Zaaranżował również partie perkusji i syntezatorów, a także z niewielką pomocą Jerry'ego Heya pracował nad smyczkami i sekcją dętą. Nagranie jego wokali w tle zakończyło produkcję "Billie Jean" na kilka tygodni przed ustanowieniem przez Epic premiery "Thrillera" na 1 grudnia 1982. "Billie Jean" stała się drugim singlem w styczniu 1983.

C'est incroyable : 27 ans plus tard cette chanson n' a pris aucune ride.
Cette chanson a révélé au monde le génie de MJ : le chanteur, le danseur, le compositeur et le showman d'exception.
Aucun artiste n' aura ainsi marqué notre temps.
Ta légende vivra éternellement, MJ : repose en paix.
