The music video shows a smiling Michael Jackson in a black and white tuxedo with a black bow tie dancing and singing the song while appearing chroma keyed over a background of abstract geometric figures. It's his first music video as a solo artist. At one stage, Jackson is seen dancing in triplicate, which was considered innovative at the time. The song accompanying the video was Michael Jackson's second U.S. Hot 100 number 1 hit as a solo artist, seven years after his first U.S. Hot 100 number 1 hit, "Ben", from 1972.
