"State of Shock" is a 1984 single by the Jacksons and Mick Jagger. It was written by Michael Jackson and Randy Hansen. The song was originally sung by Michael Jackson as a duet with Freddie Mercury,[4] and was later slated for the Thriller album in 1982; however, due to differing time schedules, Jackson ended up recording it with his brothers and Jagger instead.
