“Smooth Criminal” is a song by American singer Michael Jackson from his seventh studio album Bad (1987). It was written by Jackson, and produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones. It was released as the album's seventh single on November 14, 1988. It features lyrics about a woman who has been attacked in her apartment by a "smooth criminal". The refrain "Annie, are you OK?" was inspired by Resusci Anne, a dummy used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. Jason Elias of AllMusic wrote that “Smooth Criminal” was, "a gorgeous and exhilarating record ... [it] presents Michael Jackson at his most captivating and it never fails to impress." Rolling Stone named it the sixth best Jackson song, writing that it was, "his best blend of R&B groove and rock edginess, and a turning point in his shift toward darker, harder-edged material."
