Background[edit]

'You Rock My World' was recorded by Michael Jackson for his studio album, Invincible (2001). The song was co-written and composed by Michael Jackson, Rodney Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, LaShawn Daniels and Nora Payne and produced by Jackson and Jerkins.^[2] 'You Rock My World' was officially released as the lead single from the album in mid-August 2001, by Epic Records.^[1] Prior to the single’s official release it had been leaked to two New York radio stations on Friday, August 17.^[1] Immediately after the songs radio airplay the radio stations had received 'a herd of [radio] callers asking for more.'^[1] 'You Rock My World' was first played on the WJTM-FM station at 6 p.m., with WKTU-FM airing the song 45 minutes later.^[1] Both stations had played the single every two hours until around 6 p.m. Saturday, when Jackson's record label, Epic Records, called the program director for both stations, Frankie Blue, who was also a friend of Jackson, and asked him to stop. Blue later recalled, 'They informed me of the dangers of playing a song too early.' He refused to say how the song came into his possession.^[1]

Composition[edit]

'You Rock My World' is credited as being an uptempopost-disco and R&B song that has vibrating vocal harmonies.^[3][4][1] The song is played in the time signature of common time in the key E minor, with Jackson's vocal range spanning from the tonal nodes of E3 to Bb4.^[5] 'You Rock My World' has a moderate tempo of 95 beats per minute.^[5] The chord progression in the song is Em7–C9-Bm7–Am7–D–Em7.^[5] The song's composition has been compared to Jackson's previous material with Quincy Jones from the 1970s and 1980s,^[3] as well as the disco-theme from Jackson's 1979 single, 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough'.^[6]Chris Tucker voices the vocal introduction of the song while all the instruments heard on the track were played by Jackson and Rodney Jerkins.^[1] Lyrically, the song's lyrics are about being in love, as well as the effect that it can have, as evident in the opening line, 'My life will never be the same, 'cause, girl, you came and changed the way I walk, the way I talk, I cannot explain'.^[5]

Critical reception[edit]

Praise was mainly directed at the song's composition, while dissatisfaction towards the song was expressed by critics because they felt that the track was not Jackson's best material. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic listed 'You Rock My World' as being a highlight for the Invincible album.^[7] Reviewer Andrew Hamilton, also of AllMusic, stated that, 'If anybody other than Michael Jackson had released 'You Rock My World' with the tons of publicity and promotion it was accorded, it would have slam dunked the charts and been a multiple award winner. It sold well and got play everywhere, but too many critics panned the song and the album it came from as not being good enough for an artist on Jackson's level.'^[8] Hamilton commented that people should 'give Michael credit' because he was able to maintain a respectable career as a recording artist over the years of his later career.^[8]

James Hunter of Rolling Stone praised the song's vocal rhythms as being 'finely sculpted' and 'exquisite'.^[3] He noted that the song shows similarities to Jackson's previous material with Quincy Jones.^[3] Mark Beaumont, a writer for NME, described the song as being a 'disco classic' and commented that he felt that the song's brief intro was 'funnier than Chris Evans on fire'.^[9] Catherine Halaby of Yale Daily News stated that the song 'showcases the best of 'classic Michael', and described the song as being 'funky, catchy, upbeat, not too creepy'.^[10] 'You Rock My World' was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance - Male at the 44th Grammy Awards, but it lost the award to James Taylor's 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight'.^[11] It was Jackson's first Grammy nomination since 1997, for his single 'Earth Song', and his first nomination in that category since 1995.

Promotion[edit]

In late August 2001, Jackson and Sony Music began a promotional campaign for 'You Rock My World'.^[24] As part of promotion for the single, as well as the album, Jackson made a public appearance by celebrating his 43rd birthday—one day late—by presiding over the NASDAQ market opening ceremony in Times Square on Thursday morning, on August 30, 2001.^[24] Jackson only performed 'You Rock My World' twice. The only performances of 'You Rock My World' was during two concerts in early September 2001, which was to celebrate Jackson's 30th year as solo artist, at Madison Square Garden. Tucker, who is part of the song's dialogue and video, was part of the live performance.^[25] Footage of the second concert on September 10 was shown in a two-hour television special, titled Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration, which was aired on CBS in November of the same year.

Music video[edit]

The music video for 'You Rock My World' was directed by Paul Hunter, and was released in 2001.^[26] The video, which is over thirteen minutes long, was described as being a short film.^[27] The dance performed during the video consists of fragments from the canceled 'Dangerous' music video.

The video consists of Jackson's and Tucker's characters trying to gain a woman's (Kishaya Dudley) affection by subsequently following her around the neighborhood. But in the end, a fight brokes out between the gang members that are ordered by their leader (Michael Madsen) to get rid of Jackson and where Jackson walks up the stage where his backup dancers arrived. After being taunted, a dance break begins after a man lights his lighter and where one of the gang members used a knife on Jackson but Jackson tosses him down. Then, he punches the leader in the face forcing a lamp to tumble over and started a fire while Jackson screams for Tucker, who was dancing to the song and knocking out some of the guys. During the escape, the woman who met Jackson stops Jackson to get a kiss until Tucker rolls in with a low rider signalling for Jackson and his new lover to escape leaving the burning bar in flames.

The video has been compared to Jackson's previous 1980s music videos for his singles, 'Smooth Criminal' (1987), 'Bad' (1987), and 'The Way You Make Me Feel' (1987), all from his 1987 studio album, Bad. In the video, Jackson can be seen wearing a blazer and his traditional hat. The video features appearances from Marlon Brando,^[29]Michael Madsen and Billy Drago.^[10]

The video won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Music Video at the award show’s 2002 ceremony.^[30] In several instances in the video, Tucker's character makes several references to previous songs by Michael Jackson, such as 'Beat It', 'P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)', 'The Girl Is Mine', 'Bad' ,'Dangerous', and 'Billie Jean'.
