"You Rock My World" was a single off Michael Jackson's 2001 album "Invincible", reaching #10 on the Billboard charts and becoming Jackson's last single to reach the top 10 list in the US. The debut of this single fell on the anniversary of his first solo single, "Got to Be There", marking 30 years in the entertainment industry as a solo artist. The album itself, on Jackson's long time label Epic, became his last studio record ever and has sold 8 to 10 million copies worldwide to date. While most of the critical reviews were generally favorable, many said the album didn't live up to Jackson's previous work and continuously referred back to his eccentric image, even going so far as to call him a "freak" and "scary" within the reviews. Now, this album is regarded as a success with most supporters standing behind the fact that reviews were unnecessarily turning people off with the details of scandals and personal information mixed into the musical critiques.
The music video, with guest spots from Chris Tucker and Marlon Brando, depicts a Michael Jackson we've seen before with the slanted hat, white socks, and black blazer. He is slick - chasing after a contemporary version of the girl in all his videos yet the hat is maybe too slanted as if he doesn't want anyone to see his face. As always, despite controversy, he manages to give off a sexy, cool vibe. This was the last music video he appeared in and the second to last he ever made.
Rock My World - Michael Jackson
My life will never be the same
‘Cause girl, you came and changed
The way I walk
The way I talk
I cannot explain the things I feel for you
But girl, you know it’s true
Stay with me, fulfill my dreams
And I’ll be all you’ll need
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, it feels so right (Girl)
I’ve searched for the perfect love all my life (All my
life)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, it feels like I (Like I)
Have finally found her perfect love is mine (See, I
finally found, come on, girl)
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give (You rocked my world)
The rarest love who’d think I’d find
Someone like you to call mine (You rocked my world)
You rocked my world, you know you did (Girl)
And everything I own I give (I want you, girl)
The rarest love who’d think I’d find
Someone like you to call mine
In time I knew that love would bring
This happiness to me
I tried to keep my sanity
I waited patiently
Girl, you know it seems
My life is so complete
A love that’s true because of you
Keep doing what you do
Oh, oh, oh, oh, who’d think that I (Oh)
Have finally found the perfect love I searched for all
my life (Searched for all my life)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, who’d think I’d find
(Whoa…oh…oh…)
Such a perfect love that’s so right (Whoa, girl)
