The Way You Make Me Feel was written and composed by Michael Jackson and produced by Quincy Jones. It is the third track on the album Bad (1987). The song was released as the albums third single in November 1987. It is an expression of love, with Jackson singing about the effect a girl has on him. The music video for the song, directed by Joe Pytka, became iconic, featuring a long dance sequence of Jackson being pursued by a woman.
