Behind The Music | 'Dirty Diana' by Michael Jackson | the detail.

Michael Jackson's 'Dirty Diana' recounts the story of a seductive groupie and her pursuit for Jackson. Edgy as well as sleazy in nature, the track was an attempt for Jackson to convey a more dangerous adult image.

This is the story behind the inspiration, production and commercial reaction to one of pop history’s most iconic music releases. Michael Jackson’s 1988 hit, ‘Dirty Diana’.

It was the summer of 88. Dirty Diana was on the air waves everywhere and the Bad World Tour hit my town. A magic time which I will never forget. Dirty Diana was a song that even non MJ fans liked. And rightfully so, it is a perfect timeless pop song.

There will never be another Michael Jackson

When I first discovered Dirty Diana, I played it 5-6 times on repeat :)

The beat in Dirty Diana is just so hypnotizing & his powerful vocals was incredible 🙌🏾🔥❗️ My favorite MJ Song & Music video, the energy in the music video still gives me chills! MJ Was a Mythical talent. Rest his kind soul 🕊️

[HolyCross]

You know in a sheer bit of irony, Michael Jackson's dear friend, the late Princess Diana, really loved the song Dirty Diana.

I never would've guessed that MJ would get inspired by Darling Nikki!

[Olly__]

This song truly showed he is the king of ROCK, pop and soul 🎶 👑

[SubatomicParticleX]

Dirty diana was one of the songs that MJ couldn't rehearse during THIS IS IT... THEY had a great idea of creating a big bed with flames where MJ and a pole dancer would give a great show... So sad

I wish Michael Jackson would have performed Dirty Diana more live Dangerous and The History Tours and specially his 30th Anniversary 2 night Concert Tour in 2001 The Invisible Era...Dirty Diana is a electrifying performance till this day in 2021

[DJDoubleCee]

I always saw Dirty Diana as kind of a sequel to Beat It since they’re both rock songs.

[AloneAt]

I wish he made a short film for dirty diana like he did for bad, smooth criminal, and speed demon.

Some rumors say Dirty Diana was aimed at Diana Ross who he was in love with and wanted to marry but she strung him along, although she was interested, never gave him a chance.

I love this song. Michael and Steve Stevens rocked it out. It was a great song.

[dotunfadairo]

Michael jackson was the best singer, dancer and a good human being and was a legend I'm so proud to be his fan

[jayowulf]

I was 6 yrs old when this came out. I could already sing Thriller and Off the wall albums by heart. I had the Bad album on vinyl and listened to Dirty Diana more times than I can remember. His music is the soundtrack to my memories. 👌🏾

[ProofCare]

What emanates from the the remarkable success of Dirty Dianna is perhaps his greatest achievement, namely to bridge the influences, idioms, identities, and styles that affirm the diversity of African-American culture as much as white mainstream pop and rock.
