"Beat It" is a song written and performed by American artist Michael Jackson. The inspiration for this piece arose from a visit he made to a nursery school in Trenton, New Jersey. The track features an original guitar solo that was modified by Eddie Van Halen. Production was handled by Quincy Jones, with co-production by Jackson himself, and it is part of his sixth solo album, Thriller, released in 1982. It was the third single from the album, following "The Girl Is Mine" (a duet with Paul McCartney) and "Billie Jean". The song won two Grammy Awards in the categories of Record of the Year and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. Guitarists Steve Lukather and Eddie Van Halen both participated in the recording, with the latter adjusting Jackson's original composition before the final recording. It was also nominated for Song of the Year alongside "Billie Jean". Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at number 337 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and at number 185 in the 2021 update. On March 13, 2006, "Beat It" was re-released as a single in the United Kingdom as part of the Visionary - The Video Singles collection. In 2008, the band Fall Out Boy recorded a cover of the song in collaboration with John Mayer. That same year, a duet remix with Fergie titled "Beat It 2008 with Fergie" was released, included in the 25th anniversary commemorative edition of the album Thriller. Prior to this song, Jackson had already composed several pieces. His album Off the Wall, released in 1979 and also produced by Quincy Jones, included two of his compositions: "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" and "Working Day and Night", as well as "Get on the Floor", co-written with Louis Johnson. This album was an indication of what was to come, as Jackson had captured the attention of both R&B audiences and a broader public, thanks to his rock style, his dance moves, and his live performances. With Thriller, Jackson and Jones sought to surpass their previous success by including a rock song on the new album. The song begins with a distinctive gong sound (produced by a Synclavier), which quickly transforms into a recognizable drum beat, culminating in a guitar riff. The lyrics of "Beat It" are a warning against violence and fighting, especially when honor is at stake. Jackson delivers the song with great intensity, almost at the limit of his vocal range. Eddie Van Halen, known for his work with the hard rock band Van Halen, performed an electric guitar solo in the middle section of the song. According to Quincy Jones, when he contacted Van Halen to participate in the song, the guitarist initially did not believe the offer was real. Nevertheless, Van Halen contributed a distinctive element that set this song apart from Jackson's other work up to that point. Van Halen was not paid for his contribution and recorded his part while Jackson was working on other sections of "Billie Jean". According to one anecdote, a technician who was unaware that Van Halen was recording knocked on a door in the studio. After listening to the recording, they decided to leave that mistake in the song; the knocking on the door can be heard just before Van Halen's guitar solo. Another version of the story states that the session was brief, with Van Halen performing only two takes for the solo.
