Music Video
Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch was raided by the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department, investigating child molestation allegations made against the singer, which resulted in the 2005 criminal trial and subsequent acquittal of Jackson on all charges. Jackson had been shooting the video late into the night of November 17, 2003, but following the raid, production was stopped. The single was instead promoted using a montage video of highlights from Jackson's career to date.
On October 13, 2010, the official website of Michael Jackson announced that the music video would be released in a deluxe DVD box set Michael Jackson's Vision on November 22, 2010. A rough 2 minute cut of the video leaked online on November 15, 2010. On November 19, 2010, the full length of the video premiered on Jackson's official website. As with the song being the last brand new single released during his lifetime, the music video is also Jackson's last music video, and the first with new footage to be released posthumously. The video features Jackson performing in the audiences' place as they stand on stage in a nightclub. Closeups of Jackson were never filmed due to the raid, so most of the shots are of Jackson's face turned towards the audience, adding to the effect of Jackson performing in the audience's seat.

“Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
