Jones enlisted the Andraé Crouch Choir to record gospel vocals. At Jackson's request, Garrett and Ballard wrote a longer middle eight and modified the lyrics. Garrett delivered the tape to Jones, who called back a few hours later to tell her it was 'really good'. The two recorded a demo over the course of a week, with Garrett on vocals. Garrett took the brief to Ballard, her writing partner, who began playing a keyboard figure Garrett wrote the lyrics. Garrett recalled that Jones told the group: 'I just want hits, that's all I want.' Jackson's producer, Quincy Jones, invited Garrett to his home with a group of other songwriters and asked them to write material for Jackson's next album. 'Man in the Mirror' was written by Glen Ballard and Siedah Garrett. It features a montage of clips of starving children in Africa, Adolf Hitler, Hitler's American 'relatives', George Lincoln Rockwell's American Nazi Party, the Ku Klux Klan, Martin Luther King Jr., the Kent State shootings, Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Desmond Tutu, Mikhail Gorbachev, Nelson Mandela, Pieter Botha, Lech Wałęsa, the June Struggle in South Korea, homeless people in the U.S., the rescue of Jessica McClure, kids in graduation, and other historical figures.

Larry Stessel who was video commissioner at Epic Records at the time was the executive producer. Don and Jackson developed the idea for the video. The 'Man in the Mirror' music video was directed, produced and edited by Don Wilson. Keeping the gospel choir arrangement, the song was remixed for the soundtrack of Jackson's tribute tour Immortal. The song peaked at number 21 in the UK Singles Chart upon release in 1988, but in 2009, following the news of Jackson's death, the song peaked at number 2. It was nominated for Record of the Year at the 31st Grammy Awards.

'Man in the Mirror' topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, becoming Jackson's tenth number-one single on the chart, and was certified 3× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It was released on February 6, 1988, as the fourth single from Jackson's seventh solo album, Bad (1987). It was written by Glen Ballard and Siedah Garrett and produced by Jackson and Quincy Jones. ' Man in the Mirror' is a song by the American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson.
