Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson had conflict with the song. Quincy thought that they should change the title to "Not My Lover". The fans might think that the song would refer to Billie Jean King, the famous tennis player. But Michael wanted the original title anyway.
Michael was right, "Billie Jean" became a #1 hit single and the Thriller album is the best selling album in the world up to this day. The music video and the Motown performance was a huge hit, just as Michael predicted.

Lyrics to Billie Jean:
She was more like a beauty queen
From a movie scene
I said, 'don't mind
But what do you mean
I am the one
Who will dance on the floor, in the round'
She said, 'I am the one who will dance
On the floor in the round'
She told me her name was Billie Jean
As she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes
That dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor, in the round
People always told me,
'Be careful of what you do
And don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts'
And mother always told me,
'Be careful of who you love
And be careful what you do
'Cause the lie becomes the truth'
The Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that
I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
For forty days and forty nights
Law was on her side
But who can stand
When she's in demand
Her schemes and plans
'Cause we danced on the floor, in the round
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
Do think twice
She told my baby
We danced till three
And she looked at me
Then showed a photo
My baby cried
His eyes were like mine
Can we dance on the floor, in the round, babe
People always told me,
'Be careful of what you do
And don't go around
Breaking young girls' hearts'
(Don't break no hearts)
But you came and stood right by me
Just a smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
The Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that
I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No, no, no, no, no
The Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that
I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No, no
She says I am the one
(Oh, babe)
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
No, no, no
The Billie Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that
I am the one
(You know what you did to me, babe)
But the kid is not my son
No, no, no, no
She says I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one
You know what you did
She says he is my son
Breaking my heart, babe
She says I am the one
The Billie Jean is not my lover
The Billie Jean is not my lover
The Billie Jean is not my lover
The Billie Jean is not my lover
