This was the sixth single released from Jackson's 1991 album Dangerous. Jackson wrote and produced this song himself; it's a call for understanding and compassion, decrying man's inhumanity to his fellow man.
In the 2003 documentary Living with Michael Jackson, Jackson said he created the song while in his "giving tree" at his Neverland ranch. He proceeded to climb the tree at the interviewer's request.
The ballad was criticized at the time for its resemblance to the USA For Africa charity single, "We Are The World," which Jackson also co- wrote.
