Another Part Of Me

"Another Part of Me" is a song by American recording artist Michael Jackson. Produced by Quincy Jones (and co-produced by Jackson) for the singer's seventh solo album, Bad (1987), the song was originally featured in Jackson's 1986 3-D film Captain EO. It is the sixth song on the album. It was later released as the record's sixth single on July 11, 1988 and appeared as a dance attack and level song for the Michael Jackson's Moonwalker video game.
As with earlier songs in his career such as "Can You Feel It" and "We Are the World," the lyrics emphasize global unity, love, outreach and possible religious themes.
The song was also featured in the trailer for Jackson's 1988 film Moonwalker, and the music was featured in video game Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City, on the Radio Station. Vice City FM.
In July 2009, a short part of the song has been used by singer Madonna as a tribute during the second leg of her Sticky & Sweet Tour.[1] A Jackson impersonator performed his signature moves, while dancing to a medley of Jackson's songs.[2]
