Join The Mix

- "You Rock My World" is a song co-written and performed by Michael Jackson.
- It is the first single from the album Invincible released in 2001.
- The first version of the song was written by Michael Jackson, with Rodney Jerkins (who produced the song), Fred Jerkins III, LeShawn Daniels and Nora Payne as co-writers.
- The song begins with a comedic spoken-word introduction by Chris Tucker and Michael Jackson, where they both talk about their attraction to a woman and debate Jackson's ability to seduce her.
- Michael Jackson and Rodney Jerkins played all the instruments themselves on the track, which was recorded at Record One Studios in Los Angeles in 2001.
- Michael did not want to release "You Rock My World" as the first single and video from the album, preferring the song "Unbreakable" instead.
- Sony Music insisted on releasing this song as the first single, the first act of a conflict between the singer and his record company.
- "Unbreakable" was never released as a single/video clip, following Sony Music's decision to stop promoting Invincible only three months after its release.
- The video tells the story of Michael Jackson and Chris Tucker who spot an attractive woman (played by Kishaya Dudley) and follow her into a nightclub. It soon becomes apparent that they are not welcome, as the woman already has a boyfriend (played by Michael Madsen).
