'P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)' was written by Michael Jackson and Greg Phillinganes for Jackson's Thriller album (1982). This original demo version of the song was totally re-done to a more up-tempo beat by James Ingram and producer Quincy Jones. The pair were thus credited with the writing of the song. Two of Jackson's sisters, Janet Jackson and a Toya Jackson, provided backing vocals in the guise of the P.Y.T.s.'P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)' was released on September 19, 1983, as the penultimate single from Thriller. The single reached number 11 in the UK Singles Chart and charted at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 46 on the R&B Singles Chart, becoming the sixth Top 10 hit from the album. The single was most successful in Belgium, charting within the Top 10 at number 6.
'P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)' has been covered and sampled by numerous artists, including Monica, Justin Guarini and Kanye West. The original demo was also remixed by Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am for Thriller 25.
