"Another Part of Me" is a song by American recording artist Michael Jackson. Produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones for the singer's seventh solo album, Bad (1987), the song was originally featured in Jackson's 1986 3-D film Captain EO. It was later released as the record's sixth single on July 11, 1988 and appeared as a dance attack and level song for the Michael Jackson's Moonwalker video game.
As with earlier songs in his career such as "Can You Feel It" and "We Are the World," the lyrics emphasize global unity, love, outreach and possible religious themes.
