Michael Jackson’s second single from his eighth studio album Dangerous details a blissful romance.

Its music video was nine minutes long, marketed as a short film directed by John Singleton. The video is set in ancient Egypt and features appearances by Eddie Murphy, Iman, Tommy “Tiny” Lister and Magic Johnson.

Rolling Stone writer Alan Wright regarded “Remember The Time” as “the most lighthearted musical track on the album.” Its reception on the charts was great, specifically with international commercial success.

In Michael’s Moonwalker Autobiography, he stated that he had his long time love interest and mentor, Diana Ross, in mind when he wrote the song.
