- “Rhythm Nation” Rhythm Nation‘s titular manifesto opens with an inventory of reference points, including Jackson’s own top five hit “Nasty” and Sly and the Family Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin),” which, according to Jam, was the germ that inspired the track.
- “Love Will Never Do (Without You)” Though “Love Will Never Do (Without You)” was originally conceived as a duet (with their old boss, Prince, no less), Jam and Lewis opted to keep Jackson’s low register vocal on the finished track, with the singer effortlessly leaping an octave during the second verse.
- “Alright” Based around a collage of samples including Lyn Collins’s 1972 single “Think (About It),” the top five hit “Alright” is an unrelenting rush of new-jack joy that found Jam and Lewis employing looped sound effects, pitched-up (and down) vocals, and, of course, Jackson’s stacked harmonies to dazzling effect.
- “Come Back to Me” “I wish I could sing like Whitney [Houston],” Jackson can be heard lamenting during a recently leaked vocal session for the ballad “Come Back to Me.”
