The album was principally recorded at Westlake Audio in Los Angeles, California.

This record is a shining example of perfect disco pop and a work that should be prescribed to both musical snobs and those struggling with manic depression. It serves as a true ambassador of what pop music can aspire to be. Jackson's vocals soar and dance through a suite of unforgettable melodies that should be enjoyed with a smile on one's face. Each track offers at least one irresistible musical hook, whether it's the captivating beauty of "Human Nature" (with its infectious "dada dada da da da" refrain) or the thrilling "whoo whoo" of "Billie Jean." The sheer quality of this album is simply too good to ignore.
