"Black or White" was the first single taken from Michael Jackson's Dangerous album, released in October 1991. The single is considered the biggest selling rock song of the 1990's. "Black or White" is a mix of hard rock, dance and rap, but basically it is a hard rock song like "Beat It".

Written, composed, and arranged by Jackson with the rap lyrics by Bill Bottrell, it is a song that promotes racial unity. The song's introduction and main riff, reminiscent of that of "Hurts So Good" by John Mellencamp is performed by guitarist Slash.

The song peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, as well as in 18 other countries. ( Edited by Schligge)
