En 1990, con letra de Tammy Lucas, Michael compuso la melodía para la canción "Joy". Aunque finalmente no se usó el tema, Teddy Riley lo tomó en 1994 para lanzarlo con su grupo BLACKstreet en su álbum del mismo nombre.
En los créditos de la canción aparacen los tres nombres.
Joy
Escrita por Michael Jackson, Tammy Lucas y Teddy Riley
Can't forget the day
That you walked into my life
It was just the kind of thing
That was so right on time
After all the love changes
My heart had locked the door
Then that girl released her magic
And made me love once more, ooh
Like the warm rays of the sun
Her sweet love came shining down on me, oh
All at once turned my life around
And with one kiss, she set me free
[1] She's given me joy, joy, joy
That girl, she brings me joy
She's given me joy, joy, joy
That girl, she brings me joy
Goodbye lonliness
And so long to my heartache
Now that joy has taken over
And decided to stay
Her love lifts me up
Like no other love before
With every beat of my heart
I'm hold, holding on, hey
Just look what she's done for me
She's erased all the sadness away, oh
I can never repay the deed
Cuz she keeps loving me more and more
[1] She's given me joy, joy, joy
That girl, she brings me joy
She's given me joy, joy, joy
She brings me joy
She's given me
Check one, check two
Can't hold back, I'm in love with you
Check one, check two
There's nothing in the world that I won't do for you
Check one check two
Can't hold back, I'm in love with you
Check one check two
There's nothing in the world that I won't do for you
That girl
She's given me joy, joy, joy
I love the way she loves me
She brings me joy
She's given me joy joy joy
A little bit of lovin' darlin'
Said I love it baby (Joy joy joy)
Oh girl, I love the joy she brings me (Joy joy joy)
She brings me joy, she brings me joy
Said I love it when you're loving me baby (Joy joy joy)
Oh girl, ya get me where you want me, baby (Joy joy joy)
Yeah, girl you're my joy (Joy)
Check one check two
Can't hold back, I'm in love with you
(Girl you're my joy)
Check one check two
There's nothing in the world that I won't do for you
(All my kissin')
Check one check two
Can't hold back, I'm in love with you
(All my lovin')
Check one check two
There's nothing in the world that I won't do for you
Girl you're my joy
