Why You Wanna Trip on Me

Why You Wanna Trip On Me is one of Michael Jackson s songs in the album, Dangerous. This song was written by Teddy Riley and Bernard Belle. Why You Wanna Trip on Me is Michael Jacksons response to critics and the media about their obsession over him. At the same time, he provides a list of things that they can talk about instead things that he believes are lot more important than celebrity updates. Before singles like They Dont Really Care about Us and the Earth Song, MJ provided social commentary about poverty and the inner city life on this 1993 track. Unlike the aforementioned tracks, however, Why You Wanna Trip on Me compares these social ills to his own alleged publicized eccentricities that were covered in the press. Jackson covered the tabloid media theme two years before this track, on Leave Me Alone. Why You Wanna Trip on Me is also one of the very few tracks on Dangerous that was not released as a single.
