"Another Part of Me" was a popular hit song and single for Michael Jackson, and is part of his 1987 album Bad, with the single being released in 1988. The song was in fact originally from Jackson's 1986 3-D film Captain EO. The song was performed live during Jackson's second leg of his Bad Tour.

[edit] Chart success
The "Another Part of Me" single peaked at the following:
- #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles charts.
- #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
[edit] Music video
An official video was released in 1988, directed by Patrick Kelly, featuring Jackson performing the song live during the second leg of his hugely successful Bad World Tour, with footage from the Paris, Wembley and other European concerts.
[edit] Trivia
- The song would not have been included on the album, as Jackson preferred "Streetwalker" (which would be released later on the 2001 Special Edition of Bad) and Quincy Jones preferring Another Part of Me. However, when Frank Dileo, Michael's manager at the time, began dancing to Another Part of Me in the studio where the three had to make the final decision, the song was included.
