"In the Closet" is a song by American pop and R&B singer Michael Jackson from his 1991 album Dangerous. The song became that album's second number one R&B single and its third top ten pop single, hitting number six on the Billboard Hot 100.Song Information
The song, written by Jackson and Teddy Riley, is about keeping a relationship between secret lovers. The video, directed by Herb Ritts, features Jackson dancing suggestively with model Naomi Campbell. The song's female vocal was originally labeled "Mystery Girl" but was later revealed to be Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, though the vocal was originally meant for Madonna.
The song, with its heavy industrial sounding percussion and uptempo arrangement, is typical of producer Teddy Riley's new jack swing style. The unique, Eastern-influenced backing vocals, sexually-charged lyrics, and crescendoing middle eight imbue the song with an erotic edge usually missing from Jackson's music. His vocals are whispered and subdued for most of the song, embellished with gasps and shudders. Only in the chorus is his typically soulful falsetto given free reign.
In keeping with the trend in the early 1990s, several remixes were commissioned by Jackson and released on a maxi CD. The most prolific of these remixes was "The Promise" remix by UK DJ Frankie Knuckles, which made its way into the club circuit.
