HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I (usually shortened to HIStory) is the ninth studio album by American songwriter and recording artist Michael Jackson, released on June 16, 1995 by Epic Records. The majority of the album`s tracks were written and produced by Jackson. HIStory was the first album to be released by Jackson since he was accused of child sexual abuse in August 1993. Recorded during late 1994 and early 1995, several of the double album`s fifteen songs pertain to the accusations and Jackson`s mistreatment in the media, specifically the tabloids. The songs` themes included environmental awareness, isolation, greed, and injustice.
