High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! "Who Is It" is a song by American songwriter and recording artist Michael Jackson. "Who Is It" was released by Epic Records on August 31, as the fifth single from Jackson`s eighth studio album, Dangerous in 1991. The song was written and composed by Jackson, and produced by Jackson and Bill Bottrell. The song`s lyrics pertain to despair over being left by someone you love; some critics noted a comparison to the lyrics of the song to Jackson`s single, "Billie Jean" from the album Thriller. The song was not performed by Jackson on any of his world concert tours. He did, however, perform a small segment of the song in his interview with Oprah Winfrey in early 1993. The instrumental version of the song was supposed to be used during the "This Is It Tour" which was canceled due to Jackson`s death. As part of the promotion for the song, two music videos were released in the same year. The single was released only two days after Jackson`s 34th birthday.
