Dirty Diana sounds very much like something Prince would compose, but he I don't think he wrote it. I thought MJ wrote that song himself and Diana Ross was his muse. I could be wrong. Bad boy (Ithink that is his name) will hopefully show up to clear this one up. "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

I read that MJ wrote it,and that it was about an aggressive groupie. Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach | |

Yeah, Quincy Jones confirmed that it is a "groupie song" during an interview on the Special Edition of "Bad" CD. "I never self-proclaimed myself to be anything." - Michael Jackson

Of course not. MJ is a song writer too you know. Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

[Edited 6/14/09 21:48pm] Prince's name is in the tittle. It's about Prince mainly. So why not put in the Prince forum. Some people think I'm kinda cute

I don't believe MJ has ever written a song in his life, like Elvis was always a co-writer but never wrote a song | |

No, he's written many songs by himself songs where he has co-written like That's What You Get For Being Polite, Lovely One, and Be Not Always, he'd have the lyrics down and then he'd collaborate with the co-writer (in these cases, his brothers) to compose the melody you should check out the book "For The Record" Project L.O.V.E | |

According to Quincy Jones who produced it...it was about "groupies"! Yep, he originally wrote it in 1983 along with Liberian Girl but then rewrote it the following year. He then slightly reworked the 1983 version in '85 for Bad. The final version was recorded in late 1986 Project L.O.V.E | |

No,Prince did not write this song but he did submit a song ("Wouldn't U Love 2 Love Me") for MJ to record for 'Bad'.MJ rejected it and it was given to Taja Sevelle instead. | |

Good idea for Michael to pass on it, considering the line 'Wouldn't u love 2 love me, BABY..'  | |

I'm convinced of that!, despite the credits.  Bill Bottrell and David Williams -- not exactly slouches. | |
