Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney - The Girl Is Mine

'The Girl Is Mine' is a song by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. The track was written by Jackson, and was produced by Quincy Jones for the singer's sixth solo album, Thriller (1982). The song was recorded at Westlake Studios, Los Angeles, from April 14 to 16, 1982. The year before, Jackson and McCartney had recorded 'Say Say Say' and 'The Man' for the Latter's fifth solo album, Pipes od Peace (1983). Listeners were not impressed by 'The Girl Is Mine'; they felt that Jackson and Quincy Jones had created a song for the white pop audience.

Despite the public feeling, 'The Girl Is Mine' achieved success in the music charts. The single reached number 8 in the UK Singles Chart and topped the R&B Singles Chart, while peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
'The Girl Is Mine' has been the subject of two plagiarism lawsuits. Both instances required Jackson to testify in court, and each lawsuit found in the favour of the singer and his record label. In 2008, for the 25th anniversary edition of Thriller, Black Eyed Peas single will,i,am remixed 'The Girl Is Mine'. The remix received generally unfavourable reviews from music critics.
