When you think of Michael Jackson, you probably think of glitter gloves, moonwalks, and pop perfection. But in “Morphine,” he flips the script. This song isn’t about dance floors or chart-topping hooks—it’s raw, haunting, and hits like a brick wall. Released on his remix album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix, “Morphine” is MJ at his most vulnerable and intense, showing a side of him the world rarely got to see.
Though there’s no live stage version, the audio itself feels like a performance. From heavy breathing and crashing drums to sharp electric guitars and MJ’s signature falsetto, “Morphine” is a chaotic mix of pain and addiction wrapped in a sound that punches hard. Lyrically, it explores the dangerous relationship with prescription drugs—something deeply personal to him. It’s not a radio-friendly pop hit—it’s MJ speaking truth, loud and unfiltered.

While it didn’t top charts, fans call “Morphine” one of his most underrated tracks. With over 2.6 million views, it’s become a cult favorite among hardcore MJ fans. The YouTube comments are filled with people praising the raw honesty and how ahead of its time the sound was. “No one else would’ve dared to release something this real,” one comment reads.
If “Morphine” shows MJ’s darkness, then “Stranger in Moscow” reveals his loneliness. Both tracks dig deep, but “Stranger in Moscow” slows things down, letting emotion take the front seat.
