Somebody's Watching Me

"Somebody's Watching Me" is a song recorded and written by American singer Rockwell, released by the Motown label in December 1983, as the lead single from his debut studio album of the same name.

Singleton served as executive producer on the project and would occasionally play demo tracks to Berry Gordy, who was less than enthusiastic about Rockwell's music until he heard the single with Michael Jackson's familiar voice featuring prominently on background vocals.

Other scenes in the video include Rockwell in a cemetery, the tap water in the shower stall spraying blood, and him having his mail delivered by a mailman who appears to be a live, but is, in fact, undead.

In 2024, Of Love and Lust (OLAL) released a modern take on Rockwell’s classic available on Spotify[50] and other streaming services, spotlighting real-world surveillance by Sheriff spy planes in Pima County, Arizona.

In OLAL’s take, Rockwell’s haunting lyrics find new resonance amid today’s culture of pervasive monitoring.
