"Smooth Criminal" is the seventh single from American recording artist Michael Jackson's 1987 Bad album. The song contains a fast-paced beat intertwined with Jackson's lyrics about a woman named Annie, who has been violently attacked in her apartment by a "smooth" assailant. Smooth Criminal was the original title for the album, but Quincy Jones, the producer, did not like it. It was released as a single on October 24, 1988, and peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100.
