'They Don't Care About Us' was the fourth single from Michael Jackson's album 'HIStory'. The song remains one of the most controversial pieces Jackson ever composed. In the US, media scrutiny surrounding alleged antisemitic lyrics were the catalyst for Jackson issuing multiple apologies and re-recording the album, altering the lyrics for that particular track. The singer countered allegations of antisemitism, arguing that reviews had misinterpreted the context of the song, either unintentionally or deliberately. Musically, it is an aggressive hip-hop production about social ills. Commercially, the song became a top ten hit in all European countries. In the US, radio stations were reluctant to play the controversial composition, however, it managed to peak at No.30 on the Billboard Hot 100.



The song was accompanied by two music videos directed by Spike Lee. This is the first of the videos, that was shot in a shantytown of Rio de Janeiro, where State authorities tried to ban all production over fears the video would damage their image, the area and prospects of staging the 2004 Olympics. Still, the residents of the area were happy to see the singer, hoping their problems would be made visible to a wider audience.
