Jackson's musical career began in 1967 as lead singer of The Jackson 5, when the group made their first recording with a local label before signing up with Motown Records in 1968. He made his first solo recordings in 1971 while still a member of the group. But it was Off the Wall (1979) which marked the start of his full-fledged solo career, and he formally parted with his siblings in 1984. In his solo career, Jackson recorded and co-produced the best-selling album of all time, Thriller (with worldwide sales over 100 million), received thirteen Grammy awards and charted thirteen #1 singles in the U.S. Throughout his four-decade career, Michael Jackson has been awarded numerous honors, including the World Music Awards Best-selling Pop Male Artist of the Millennium. He is also a double-inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of The Jackson 5 in 1997, and in 2002 as a solo artist. He is also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In the mid-1980s, TIME magazine described Jackson as "the hottest single phenomenon since Elvis Presley". He has had a notable impact on music and culture throughout the world while also tearing down racial barriers and paving the way for modern pop music.
From 1988 to 2005, Jackson lived on his Neverland Ranch property, on which he built an amusement park and private zoo for the enjoyment of economically disadvantaged and terminally ill children. In 1993 and 2003, separate accusations of child molestation that allegedly occurred in Neverland were made against Jackson, which drew intensely negative media coverage. While he was never charged for the first case, Jackson was tried and vindicated in 2005 of the latter allegation, but moved out of the US shortly thereafter. He later returned to Las Vegas in early 2007.
In the years following his acquittal, (2005-2009) Jackson made numerous public appearances including MTV Japan's VMA awards where he accepted the legends award; the World Music Awards where he accepted the Diamond Award for selling over 100 million records; James Brown's funeral where he paid tribute and delivered a sermon; and a fan appreciation event in Tokyo, Japan, where he greeted troops at US Army base Camp Zama. In early 2008, Jackson issued Thriller 25th Anniversary, a critical and commercial success that was the second-biggest selling album of 2008 with over 2.1 million copies sold worldwide.
On June 25, 2009, Jackson collapsed at a rented home in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles, California. The cause of death is currently believed to be cardiac arrest. At the time of his death, Jackson was scheduled to perform 50 sold-out concerts to over one million people, at London's O2 arena, from July 13, 2009, to March 6, 2010. During a press conference, Jackson made suggestions of possible retirement.
In the hours following Jackson's death, his record sales increased dramatically. His seminal album Thriller climbed to number one on the American iTunes music chart, while another eight made it into the top 40. In the UK, where Jackson would have performed less than three weeks after his death, fifteen of his albums occupied the top 15 spots on the Amazon music chart. Social music network website Last.fm also saw a dramatic increase in Michael Jackson plays per hour after the announcement of his death.
On December 10, 2010, a compilation album of previously unreleased material, simply entitled Michael, was released posthumously. Featuring guest performances by Akon, 50 Cent and Lenny Kravitz, the album was certified Platinum in 18 countries but received mixed reviews from most critics. This was followed in November 2011 by Immortal, a remix album; in September 2012 by Bad 25, a 25th anniversary reissue of Jackson's 1987 hit album Bad; and by Xscape, a second compilation album released in May 2014.

Blood On The Floor
Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She know your game
She put you under
It's so insane
Since you seduced her
How does it feel
To know that woman
Every night stance is like takin' a chance
It's not about love and romance
And now you're gonna get it
Every hot man is out takin' a chance
It's not about love and romance
And now you do regret it
To escape the world I've got to enjoy that simple dance
And it seemed that everything was on my side
(Blood on my side)
She seemed sincere like it was love and true romance
And now she's out to get me
And I just can't take it
Just can't break it
Susie got your number
And Susie ain't your friend
Look who took you under
With seven inches in
Blood is on the dance floor
Blood is on the knife
Susie's got your number
And Susie says its right
She got your number
How does it feel
To know this stranger
Is out to kill
She got your baby
It happened fast
If you could only
Erase the past
Every night stance is like takin a chances
It's not about love and romance
And now you're gonna get it
Every hot man is out takin' a chance
It's not about love and romance
And now you do regret it
To escape the world I got to enjoy this simple dance
And it seemed that everything was on my side
(Blood on my side)
It seemed sincere like it was love and true romance
And now she's out to get me
And I just can't take it
Just can't break it
Susie got your number
And Susie ain't your friend
Look who took you under
With seven inches in
Blood is on the dance floor
Blood is on the knife
Susie got your number
You know Susie says its right
Susie's got your number
Susie ain't your friend
Look who took you under
She put seven inches in
Blood is on the dance floor
Blood is on the knife
Susie's got your number
Susie says its right
It was blood on the dance floor
(blood on the dance floor)
It was blood on the dance floor
(blood on the dance floor)
It was blood on the dance floor
(blood on the dance floor)
It was blood on the dance floor
(blood on the dance floor)
And I just can't take it
The girl won't break it
Ooo...
The lyrics to Michael Jackson's song Blood On The Dance Floor paint a picture of a man who is being stalked and threatened by a woman named Susie. It seems that the two had a brief encounter, in which the man seduced her, and now she is out for revenge. The lyrics suggest that the man had no intention of building any sort of lasting relationship with Susie, but rather saw their encounter as just another meaningless fling. However, Susie has taken their brief relationship much more seriously, and is now taking drastic measures to get what she believes is rightfully hers.
The song's chorus suggests that the man is getting what he deserves for his promiscuous behavior. It also implies that other men out there are just like him, taking chances on fleeting connections with women, and that all of them are putting themselves at risk. The line, "Every night stance is like takin' a chance," reinforces the idea that the man's behavior is reckless and dangerous.
Overall, the song's lyrics are a cautionary tale about the dangers of casual sex and the importance of treating others with respect and integrity. It's a powerful message about the consequences of our actions and the importance of being mindful of the impact that they can have on others.
Line by Line Meaning
She got your number
This woman has obtained your contact information
She know your game
She has figured out your strategy
She put you under
She has you under her control
It's so insane
The situation is crazy
Since you seduced her
You initiated the relationship
How does it feel
What is your emotional response
To know that woman
To have the realization that this individual
Is out to kill
Has intentions of causing harm or death
Every night stance is like takin' a chance
Each encounter is a risky gamble
It's not about love and romance
The connection is not built on those foundations
And now you're gonna get it
You are going to face the consequences
Every hot man is out takin' a chance
Every attractive male is also taking risks
And now you do regret it
You are now filled with remorse
To escape the world I've got to enjoy that simple dance
I need to engage in this simple dancing to escape reality
And it seemed that everything was on my side (Blood on my side)
The situation appeared to be in my favor
She seemed sincere like it was love and true romance
It appeared as if the relationship was genuine
And now she's out to get me
She has plans to harm me
And I just can't take it
This situation is unbearable
Just can't break it
I cannot distance myself from her
Susie got your number
This woman named Susie has obtained your contact information
And Susie ain't your friend
Susie is not someone you have a friendly relationship with
Look who took you under
Consider who is responsible for controlling you
With seven inches in
With her physical presence dominant in your life
Blood is on the dance floor
There is a bloodstain on the dancer's stage
Blood is on the knife
There is visible blood on the weapon
Susie's got your number
Susie has your details
And Susie says its right
She believes she is justified
She got your baby
This woman has taken custody of your child
It happened fast
The situation progressed quickly
If you could only
If it were possible
Erase the past
Eliminate what has happened previously
And I just can't take it
This situation is unbearable
The girl won't break it
This individual is unwilling to end the relationship
Ooo...
An exclamation
