About This Track
Heal the World is a song from Michael Jackson’s hit album, Dangerous, released in 1991. The music video features children living in countries suffering from unrest. It is also one of only a handful of Michael Jackson’s videos not to feature Jackson himself, the others being “Cry”, “HIStory” and “Man in the Mirror”. (The clips for “HIStory” and “Man in the Mirror” only feature Michael Jackson in archival footage). Jackson performed the song in the Super Bowl XXVII halftime show with a 35000 person flash card performance.
In a 2001 Internet chat with fans, Jackson said “Heal the World” is the song he is most proud to have created. He also created the Heal the World Foundation, a charitable organization which was designed to improve the lives of children. The organization was also meant to teach children how to help others. This concept of ‘betterment for all’ would become a centerpiece for the Dangerous World Tour. In the documentary Living with Michael Jackson, Jackson said he created the song in his “Giving Tree” at the Neverland Ranch.
The song reached #2 in the UK Singles Chart in December 1992, kept off the #1 position by Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You”. It fared less well in the US, reaching a peak of #27 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his second consecutive single not to reach the Top 20.

We need to make this world a better place. <3 [13] I think Michael would be so happy to see that his song made us want to do more for the world and ourselves. That's when a song's message really reaches hearts...

It is impossible for me to sing this song without singing the vocal embellishments he used in the Dangerous and HIStory tour concerts. Michael is such a vocal treasure.

This song really makes me want to do SOMETHING. I don't know what that something is, but still. SOMETHING. Also, for the first time, I really paid attention to the strings in this song. They are gorgeous, especially in the chorus. This song is a masterpiece on so many levels.

The first 46 seconds of this...amazing. Desperately sad too, reminds me of that ethereal and beautiful moment in 'This Is It' during 'Thriller' - always makes me feel so sad. =(
