"Heal the World" is a song recorded by American singer Michael Jackson from his eighth studio album, Dangerous (1991).
The song was performed as rehearsed by Jackson at the venue just weeks earlier, in preparation for his planned This Is It concerts in London along with "Dirty Diana".
"[7] Chris Lacy from Albumism described the song as "a beautifully understated anthem whose lyrics call for universal improvement.
He added, "Although tune sounds a bit like 'We Are the World', the sincerity in his vocal cuts through a somewhat overblown arrangement and choir climax.
"[10] Randy Clark from Cash Box said that it's "musically about as close a jab at his previous 'We Are the World' as he could pull off without Quincy Jones and the superstar backing."
"[12] David Browne of Entertainment Weekly praised the song, "And when his voice isn't competing with drum machines, it has rarely sounded stronger-achingly pure".
The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Joe Pytka and features children living in countries suffering from unrest, especially Burundi.
