Information from "For the Record"
'''An excerpt from pages 46-48 of "Michael Jackson: For the Record" by Chris Cadman & Craig Halstead (ISBN 978-0-7552026-7-6) (Publishers - Authors OnLine). '''

"Written by Michael and Teddy Riley, who came up with the evocative title.

Originally recorded for Michael's "Dangerous" album in 1991, but failed to make the final track listing. Teddy Riley, reportedly, was angry Michael didn't call him to 'vacuum clean this old master' - that is, to give the song a more current sound, before it's inclusion on "Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix".

Promo short film, directed by Michael and Vincent Paterson, premiered in the UK on Top of the Pops on 28th March 1997 - several weeks ahead of it's release as a single. Ploy generated enough interest to shift 85,000 copies in it's first week, good enough to take the no.1 spot from R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly". The song was Michael's seventh UK chart topper as a solo artist, but tumbled from no.1 to no.8 in it's second week on the chart. It peaked at no.19 on the R&B singles chart and no.42 on the Hot 100.

The Refugee Camp Mix, rather than the original, featured on Michael's home video, HIStory on Film, Volume II. The original later appeared on the Number Ones DVD.

Michael, interviewed in 1998 about the remixes on "Blood on the Dancefloor", confirmed he didn't really like the remixes, as he didn't appreciate other producers alteing his work - his record company, however, asserted 'kids love remixes'.

The song was the twentieth and last of Michael's "Visionary: The Video Singles" reissues, with the music on one side of a Dual Disc and the accompanying short film on the other side. Issued in June 2006, it charted at no.19 in the UK."

Needs a tracklist
This really needs a tracklist, especially if the "The most intriguing pairing is 'Ghosts' and 'Is It Scary'…" quote stays in – otherwise the quote makes no sense. –  iride scent  23:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be a trout slap for me. I was working on the album and single at the same time, and they both have similar titles. Obviously copied the quote onto the wrong article. Lol, I'm red in the cheeks :) — Realist  2  23:17, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * And track list added. — Realist  2  23:30, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

AIDS?
Michael had denied this thought that the song is about AIDS, but I need a source though... Frankyboy5 (talk) 03:58, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
