“Billie Jean" is a song by American recording artist Michael Jackson, released by Epic Records on January 2, 1983 as the second single from his sixth studio album, Thriller (1982). It was written and composed by Jackson, and produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones. The song's spare, bass-driven arrangement helped pioneer what one critic called "sleek, post-soul pop music". It also introduced a more paranoid lyrical style for Jackson, a trademark of his later music. Read more on Last.fm.

Length: 4:53

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me, behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Way above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue, oh
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
