Music video
The music video was directed by Greg Gold and produced by Phil Rose.[2] The video features most of the Jackson family members. La Toya is not featured in the music video nor the song, as she was estranged from the family at the time. Marlon, while he sang on the track, also did not appear in the video as he was estranged from their father Joe at the time and did not want to appear near him. Some scenes include the Jackson family playing pool and Jermaine, Tito, Randy and Jackie playing football. It also shows some members of the Jackson family singing the song together. The video was shot in March 1989[6][7][8][9][10] in Hayvenhurst, Encino, Los Angeles.[2]
