This is my favorite MJ song. When I first heard it on the radio as a kid. I was shocked it was him! Such a different sound. Such dark lyrics. I loved it. Theres days that I think man in the mirror is my fave. But this song is just too damn good.

On "Dirty Diana," Michael Jackson wanted a very intense sound and called on guitarist Steve Stevens (known for his work with Billy Idol) to record the epic guitar solo. The track became the fifth consecutive single from Bad to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, an all-time record at the time. A lot of people thought it was about Diana Ross, but Michael always vehemently denied it.
