Billie Jean

The song's lyrics refer to a real-life experience, in which a mentally ill female fan claimed that Jackson fathered one of her twins. a young woman wrote a letter to Jackson, informing the singer that he was the father of one of her twins. Jackson, who regularly received letters of this kind, had never met the woman in question and ignored it. The woman sent more letters to Jackson, claiming that she loved him and wanted to be with him. She wrote of how happy they would be, bringing up the child together. She pondered how Jackson could ignore his own flesh and blood(his "child")The letters disturbed the singer to the extent that he suffered nightmares.

Following the letters, Jackson received a parcel containing a photograph of the fan, as well as a letter and a gun. Jackson was horrified–the letter asked that the pop star kill himself on a certain day and at a specific time. The fan would do the same once she had killed their baby. She wrote that if they could not be together in this life, then they would be in the next. To his mother's dismay, Jackson had the photograph framed and hung above the dining room table of their family home. Afterward, the Jacksons discovered that the female fan had been sent to a psychiatric hospital.this female came in mind when he wrote billie jean. he talks about the court case(for 40 days and for 40 nights,the law was on her side)

the lady shows alot of interest in michael,and beleives he is the father of her child (I said dont mind but what do u mean, I am the one)

This song is the best song ever yeah sure it is. Any takers??

Definitly MJ's best song :] Dunno why Thriller gets all the credit - It's just the video that deserves it!

does any1 actually tell us what the songs about, or do u gather here to diss the artist.. the site is SONG MEANINGS!!!!

It's simple the man slept with Billy Jean. He tells his current girl he was never with the other chick, that the child is someone else's. In the end the mother of the child shows up tells his girlfriend what really happened and he can't depute because the baby looks like him. He played around regardless of what his mother had told him and he got caught up like she said he would.

Michael Jackson is my hero, idol, and inspiration. He said once in an interview that this song was about him and his brothers' experiences with so-called "groupies" on the road on tour. He says Billie Jean is not one specific girl but just generally about all the girls who claimed their kid belonged to one of the Jackson boys.

okay, there are a LOT of disputes regarding whether MJ was gay or not, a good artist or not, etc. but what does the song mean, exactly?

A great song...there are many stories about this song. He gave two reasons. One, it was a commentary on his brothers' groupies in the early days. Two, it was about a girl named Billie Jean who was claiming he had fathered her children. He speaks of her alluring features and how she smells of sweet perfume. So, it could be talking about his brothers' groupies or his own ordeals with groupies trying to lure him in to sexual relationships. However, he goes on to speak of a relationship that he is already in and how Billie Jean is telling his mate that this kid has his eyes. That part is most likely about the brothers and is a commentary on their infedelity during tours.

anna - yes, they're very similar, but not exactly the same. It's like with the 'Under Pressure' vs 'Ice Ice Baby' argument - If you listen close enough you can see the vague disimilar beat :)

u lil queers.........like seth green said "There are two kinds of people in this world: Michael Jackson fans and losers"
