Hollywood Tonight Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus: Michael Jackson]
That chance again, babe
You know it, baby


[Refrain: Michael Jackson & Taryll Jackson]
Westbound Greyhound to Tinseltown
To pursue her movie star dreams (That chance again, babe)
She's Hollywood (Woo!), she's Hollywood
Westbound Greyhound to Tinseltown
To pursue her movie star dreams (That chance again, babe)
She's Hollywood, she's Hollywood (You know it, baby)
Westbound Greyhound to Tinseltown
To pursue her movie star dreams (Again, babe)
Hollywood (Woo!), she's Hollywood
Westbound Greyhound to Tinseltown
To pursue her movie star dreams (Again, babe)
She's Hollywood, she's Hollywood (Woo!)

[Outro: Taryll Jackson]
She's Hollywood, she's Hollywood
Hollywood, she's Hollywood
Hollywood, she's Hollywood
She's Hollywood, she's Hollywood

Genius Answer

According to Songfacts, producer Teddy Riley told Billboard magazine:

I was looking at just doing the next level of “Billie Jean” meets “Dangerous” or “Doggin' Me Around”. It’s like one of those driving bass lines that you will remember.
