“Another Part Of Me”, the sixth single released from the 1987 album ‘Bad’, was written and composed by Michael Jackson and co-produced by Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. The song reached #1 on the R&B charts in the United States upon its release as a single in July of 1988.

“Another Part Of Me” made its original debut in the 1986 4-D film ‘Captain EO’ at Disneyland. The song was also featured in Michael’s 1988 film ‘Moonwalker’.

This is one of the first pieces which Michael wrote for the ‘Bad’ album and one of the last to be chosen of the 33 songs (which Michael prepared for inclusion on the record, as he preferred the song “Streetwalker”.

Quincy Jones: “Michael liked ‘Streetwalker’, and I wanted to do ‘Another Part of Me’…he wrote both of them, so it didn’t make any difference to him….we were going to listen to them, the three of us, objectively and decide which one was gonna get picked. And so [Manager Frank] DiLeo was sitting down when ‘Streetwalker’ was on, and when “Another Part Of Me” came on, he got up with his fat ass, you know, and started [dancing]. I said, ‘You’re not helping Michael at all!’ It was so funny – Michael had a funny name for him, like, ‘Rubber…what are you doin’ man, you just blew my whole case here!’ So DiLeo helped me get ‘Another Part’ cause he started shaking his butt on it.”

Michael Jackson: “‘Another Part Of Me’ was one of the earliest songs written for ‘Bad’ and made its public debut at the end of ‘Captain EO’ when the captain says good-bye.”

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson

We’re takin’ over

We have the truth

This is the mission

To see it through

Don’t point your finger

Not dangerous

This is our planet

You’re one of us

We’re sendin’ out

A major love

And this is our

Message to you

(Message to you)

The planets are linin’ up

We’re bringin’ brighter days

They’re all in line

Waitin’ for you

Can’t you see…?

You’re just another part of me…
