"In the Closet" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson, released on April 13, 1992, by Epic Records, as the third single from his eighth album, Dangerous (1991). The song was intended as a duet between Jackson and Madonna, and features female vocals by "Mystery Girl", who was later revealed to be Princess Stéphanie of Monaco. Written and produced by Jackson and Teddy Riley, it became the album's third consecutive Top 10 pop single, reaching number 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100. It also became its second number 1 R&B single. In Europe, the song peaked at number 8 on the UK Singles Chart, while reaching number 1 in Greece and number 2 in both Italy and Spain. In 2006, the song re-entered the UK chart, peaking at number 20.[4] Its accompanying music video was directed by Herb Ritts and features British supermodel Naomi Campbell.
