“Got The Hots” is about a girl Michael has a crush on and how he wants to convince her to (make) love (with) him. The song was written and produced by Michael Jackson & Quincy Jones and is a typical “MJ love song”, heavily influenced by the 80’s Pop & R&B scene.

It was originally recorded for Thriller, the best-selling album of all time, but, like many other tracks, didn’t make the final cut. It was first included on the expanded, special edition reissue of Thriller in 2001 but was later withdrawn.
