Concert Film: The 25th anniversary release features film of a Wembley Stadium concert from the Bad tour, with Princess Diana and Prince Charles in attendance. Concept Video: All hit singles were accompanied by a music video. Both "The Way You Make It Feel" and "Speed Demon" start off with a motor purring. "Dirty Diana" is just like "Beat It" accompanied by a hard rock guitar solo. Only here the tone is more playful and less teasing. "Just Good Friends" is just like "The Girl is Mine" a duet with a celebrity pop star in which both men quarrel over the same girl. "Dirty Diana" is just like "Billie Jean" about a dangerous woman, only this time not a stalker, but a groupie. "Smooth Criminal" also shows Jackson in a criminal environment. "Bad" is basically the same concept as "Beat It", only with Michael now joining the street gangs in being "bad" instead of telling them not to be that way. "Man In The Mirror" has mirror imagery, a Call-Back to "I Can't Help It" from Off the Wall (1979). After Michael gets bullied by his friends for not being bad enough and a "sissy", he yells back at them and suddenly in a blink of a second he is no longer wearing a casual sweater, but stands there in a leather suit with a whole bunch of dancing buddies who also seem to have come up from nowhere.

In a case of What Could Have Been, "Bad" was intended as a duet between Jackson and Prince, but Prince didn't like the opening line "your butt is mine" and thus the idea was thrown in the dumpster.

It was released through Epic Records on August 31, 1987. Bad is the seventh studio album recorded by Michael Jackson.
