Produced by Quincy Jones, the album was released in the same month as Jackson's Thriller album and went on to collect a Grammy Award in 1984.Jackson and Quincy Jones began working on the album, an audiobook of Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and featuring key dialogue and music highlights directly from the film, in June 1981. Jackson also featured as a vocalist on the song "Someone In the Dark", written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman. After a publicity photo shoot, in which an animatronic robot of E.T. hugged Jackson, the singer stated "he was so real that I was talking to him. I kissed him before I left.
