"Give in to Me" is the tenth track on Michael Jackson's 1991 studio album Dangerous. The single peaked at #1 in New Zealand for 4 consecutive weeks, and #2 on the UK Singles Chart. It features current Velvet Revolver, and former Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash. The single was never released in North America or Asia.

The single release is notable for its b-sides, which include the album versions of "Dirty Diana" and "Beat It," two songs which also include guest-appearances by heavy metal guitarists (Steve Stevens and Eddie Van Halen, respectively).

[edit] Music video

The music video for "Give in to Me" features Michael Jackson performing the song on stage with former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Gilby Clarke, and Teddy Andreadis at an indoor rock concert. According to Jackson - when he was interviewed by Oprah - it was shot in just about 2 hours in Germany. Near the end of the clip, a pyrotechnics malfunction causes sparks to fly across the stage, making Jackson dance with the electric bolts running all over his body.
