“Give in to me,” demands the controller. He’s addressing a woman and there are sexual undertones to his persistence. “I’m on fire,” he exclaims, “Quench my desire.”

This ballad, driven by an echoed snare and raunchy guitars, follows in the footsteps of Dirty Diana, which comes after Beat It, as the sole rocker on a Michael Jackson album.
