WHAT DOES BEAT IT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Beat It

"Beat It" is a song written and performed by American recording artist Michael Jackson and produced by Quincy Jones. It is the third single from the singer's sixth solo album, Thriller. Eddie Van Halen played the song's distinctive overdriven guitar solo, but was prevented by his record label from appearing in the music video. He did appear on stage with Jackson in Dallas during the Jackson brothers "Victory Tour." Following the successful chart performances of the Thriller singles "The Girl Is Mine" and "Billie Jean", "Beat It" was released on February 3, 1983 as the album's third single. The song was promoted with a short film that featured Jackson bringing two gangs together through the power of music and dance. It is one of the artist's most recognizable signature songs, and a favorite of many Jackson fans worldwide. "Beat It" received the Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, as well as two American Music Awards. It was inducted into the Music Video Producers Hall of Fame. "Beat It" propelled Thriller into becoming the best-selling album of all time.
