Billie Jean - Michael Jackson - MP3 instrumental karaoke

“Billie Jean” is a song from Michael Jackson’s 1982 Thriller album. The song is about a woman named Billie Jean who claims the singer is the father of her newborn son. Jackson said there wasn’t an actual Billie Jean but that he created the character in the song from a composite of women who made the same claims about his older brothers when they toured as The Jackson 5. The artist said he knew it would be a big hit as soon as he started writing it. Producer Quincy Jones thought the 29-second introduction was too long but the singer insisted on keeping it because it made him feel like dancing. Jones also suggested changing the song’s title to “Not My Lover” because he worried people might think it was about Billie Jean King, the tennis player. But, the title stayed. “Billie Jean” has sold over 10 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling singles of all time. The backing track for “Billie Jean” is available with background vocals or as an instrumental. Be sure to check out the other arrangements of this song on Karaoke Version.
