Top 40
"Wanna be startin' somethin'" was in 1982 de eerste track van het album, maar pas het vierde nummer wat werd uitgegeven als single, na "The Girl Is Mine", "Billie Jean" en "Beat It".
Oorspronkelijk zou het nummer al op het album "Off the Wall" staan; het was dan ook geschreven in 1979. Toch werd het niet opgenomen tot Thriller uit 1982.
Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ werd vaak opgevoerd door Michael als het het openingsnummer tijdens concerten; het is dan ook tijdens elke tournee gespeeld.

Songtekst
I met her on the walk way
staring as she walked pass
she looked back at me side ways and said
i cant help but to ask
I Said You Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
You Got To Be Startin' Somethin'
I Said You Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
You Got To Be Startin' Something
we end up going back to her place
wish i could tell you what i saw
the sexiest women in a neclace shade
we hit off until the mornning
Until you hear her say
