Background and composition[edit]
'The Way You Make Me Feel' was recorded by Michael Jackson in 1987 for his seventh studio album Bad, which was released the same year it was recorded. Epic Records released the song as the third single from the album in November that year. 'The Way You Make Me Feel' was written and co-produced by Jackson, and produced by Quincy Jones.[2] Before the recording of Bad, Jackson had written over sixty songs for the album, with plans of releasing a three disc album, but after Jones convinced Jackson to make Bad a one disc LP, 'The Way You Make Me Feel', as well as ten other songs were selected for the album.[3] According to Bad 25, the song and subsequent video was intended to show another aspect to public's perception of Michael Jackson in addition to his reputation as a lover '(I Just Can't Stop Loving You)' and being streetwise ('Bad') they wanted to show him as a flirt or able to pick up girls.
'The Way You Make Me Feel' has been featured on multiple greatest hits and compilation albums by Jackson since the song's release,[4] including the first disc of Jackson's two disc compilation album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I in 1995, Jackson's greatest hits album, Number Ones in 2003 and the This Is It compilation album in 2009.[4]
Musically, 'The Way You Make Me Feel' is a pop[5] and rhythm and blues song[6] composed of blues harmonies.[7] The song's opening lyrics are 'Hey, pretty baby with the high heels on'.[8] 'The Way You Make Me Feel's lyrics pertain to being in love, as well as the feeling of loving someone. Throughout the song Jackson's vocal range spans from B3 to A5.[8] The song is played in the key of E major.[8] 'The Way You Make Me Feel' has a mid-tempo[9] of medium rock and has a metronome of 120 beats per minute.[8] The song follows in the chord progression of C—E♭/C—C—C/E♭ in the first line, when Jackson sings 'Hee-hee! Ooh Go on!' and continues on the same progression in the second line, when Jackson sings 'Girl! Aaow!'.[8]
Critical reception[edit]
'The Way You Make Me Feel' generally received positive reviews from contemporary music critics.

Shortly after the man walks out of an alley and stands in front of the woman while she's walking down the street, although she ignores him and keeps walking. He gets her attention by shouting, and then begins singing 'The Way You Make Me Feel' to her while also dancing. Uninterested, she walks away. He follows her, having been cheered on by his friends to pursue her. Another dance routine begins, involving the man's friends, which leads to the man pursuing the woman throughout the neighborhood.
