Beat it was written by Michael Jackson, released in February 1983 as a single from his album Thriller. Written by Jackson and co‑produced with Quincy Jones, the hard‑edged rock track features a famous guitar solo by Eddie Van Halen and was conceived to broaden Jackson’s audience by blending pop, R&B and rock. "Beat It" topped the Billboard Hot 100, won two Grammy Awards, and is widely considered one of Jackson’s signature songs as well as a landmark in the crossover between pop and rock music.
