It received positive reviews from contemporary critics. “The Way You Make Me Feel” became Bad’s third consecutive single to peak at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and charted mainly within the top ten and twenty internationally. A music video for “The Way You Make Me Feel” was released at the time showing Jackson pursuing and dancing with former model Tatiana Thumbtzen. Since the music video’s release, it has become influential on other artists’ material.[citation needed]

Aside from appearing on Bad, “The Way You Make Me Feel” has also been featured on the first disc of Jackson’s compilation album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I in 1995, Number Ones in 2003, The Ultimate Collection in 2004, The Essential Michael Jackson in 2005, Visionary: The Video Singles in 2006 and This Is It in 2009. “The Way You Make Me Feel” has been covered by multiple recording artists.

According to Bad 25, the song and subsequent video was intended to show another aspect to public’s perception of Michael Jackson in addition to his reputation as a lover “(I Just Can’t Stop Loving You)” and being streetwise (“Bad“) they wanted to show him as a flirt or able to pick up girls.

The short version of the video is six minutes and forty-four seconds long and the full version is nine minutes and thirty-three seconds long. The video begins with a group of men trying to pick up women, but failing. One of the men (Michael Jackson) is told to go home and not to hang around with the other guys anymore. When the man walks home, an elderly man (played by Joe Seneca), who is sitting on the steps of his house, tells him to just be himself. The man notices a woman, played by model/dancer Tatiana Thumbtzen, walking down the streets alone.

Shortly after the man walks out of an alley and stands in front of the woman while she’s walking down the street, although she ignores him and keeps walking. He gets her attention by shouting, and then begins singing “The Way You Make Me Feel” to her while also dancing. Uninterested, she walks away. He follows her, having been cheered on by his friends to pursue her. Another dance routine begins, involving the man’s friends, which leads to the man pursuing the woman throughout the neighborhood. The video ends with the man eventually winning the woman over, and embracing her, while a fire hydrant sprays out water. The videoclip also features an appearance by his sister La Toya as one of Thumbtzen’s friends.

The music video was released on October 31, 1987, and received one nomination at the 1988 MTV Video Music Awards Ceremony. The video, alongside Jackson’s ‘”Bad” video, was nominated for Best Choreography, but lost to Jackson’s younger sister Janet’s video “The Pleasure Principle“.

The music video was included on the video albums: Video Greatest Hits – HIStory (long version on DVD and short version on VHS), Number Ones (short version), Michael Jackson’s Vision (long version) and the Target version DVD of Bad 25 (long version).

The introduction of the full version of the video also samples the Roy Ayers 1985 song “Hot” (written by Binky Brice, Philip Hunter Field and James Mtume) from his You Might Be Surprised album.

The Way You Make Me Feel” was performed by Jackson on all three of his world concert series tours as a solo artist as well as during award shows. For a majority of the song’s performances, Jackson would wear a blue dress shirt with a white T-shirt and black pants with a white belt. The song was first performed in concert by Jackson during the encore of the second leg of his Bad World Tour from 1987 to 1989. A live version of the song is available on the DVD Live at Wembley July 16, 1988.

He performed “The Way You Make Me Feel” at the 1988 Grammy Awards Ceremony, during which Jackson wore his signature outfit and his signature black fedora, while doing a dance routine with four other dancers, and performed the song along with another one of his songs, “Man in the Mirror”. This performance was staged and choreographed by Vincent Paterson.

Tatiana Thumbtzen, who appeared in the short film for The Way You Make Me Feel, joined Jackson in some concerts of his Bad World Tour, and performed the song with him, strutting across the stage whilst he pursued her. However, she was fired from the tour by Jackson’s manager after an incident during one of the performances in which she approached Jackson and kissed him onstage.

The Way You Make Me Feel” was also performed during the first leg of Jackson’s Dangerous World Tour from June 1992 to November 1993. The tour was supposed to be longer, but was canceled due to Jackson’s health concerns and stress from the child sexual abuse accusations made against him. The next performance of the song was during select dates of Jackson’s world concert series tour, HIStory. The song was performed during selected concerts from September 1996 to June 1997. The last performance of the song was at the Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration in 2001 at Madison Square Garden on September 7 and September 10, 2001. The video footage from the performance (which included Britney Spears) was featured on CBS in November 2001, as a two-hour television special.

Since March 2009, Jackson was preparing to perform “The Way You Make Me Feel” during his This Is It concert series from 2009 to 2010. Following Jackson’s death in June of the same year, video footage of Jackson rehearsing the song was featured in the 2009 concert documentary film, Michael Jackson’s This Is It. The video rehearsal footage was also featured on the films DVD in January 2010.

In 1989, German comedian Otto Waalkes parodies the music video in his film Otto – Der Außerfriesische. In 2003, the music group Shakaya covered “The Way You Make Me Feel” and released their version as a non-album single. The song only charted on Australian charts, peaking at number 21 on the country’s music charts. In December 2009, Stacey Solomon, a contestant on the X Factor in the United Kingdom, performed a cover of the song during the show’s semi-finals, which received mixed opinions from the show’s judges. In January 2010, Nick Jonas performed the song during a concert at the Warner Theatre. In February 2010, Whitney Houston performed “The Way You Make Me Feel”, along with Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin'”, during her I Look to You Tour. In October 2016, Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez and Dancing with the Stars pro dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy, the eventual winners of the 23rd season, performed a jazz routine dance to the song during the reality dance competition’s Cirque du Soleil-themed episode.

Some Quotable Lyrics

Go on girl!

Hey pretty baby with the high heels on
You give me fever like I’ve never ever known
You’re just a product of loveliness
I like the groove of your walk, your talk, your dress

I feel your fever from miles around
I’ll pick you up in my car
And we’ll paint the town
Just kiss me baby and tell me twice
That you’re the one for me

The way you make me feel
(the way you make me feel)
You really turn me on
(you really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet
(you knock me off of my feet)
My lonely days are gone
(my lonely days are gone)

I like the feelin’ you’re givin’ me
Just hold me baby and I’m in ecstasy
Oh I’ll be workin’ from nine to five
To buy you things to keep you by my side
