The song was originally intended as a duet with longtime rival Prince. Prince was approached and briefly considered taking part in the project, but eventually decided against it because of the first line ("Your butt is mine"). He later remarked that the album was called "Bad" because "they didn't have enough room to spell 'Pathetic'". Years later, Quincy Jones told a different story when he said that Prince told him and Jackson that he hadn't wanted to participate because "it would be a hit without (him)".
