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.
