曲目曲目据索尼音乐公司方面的最新消息，2008年即将发布的新单曲《The Girl Is Mine》的CD曲目如下：
1. The Girl Is Mine – Will.i.am （单曲版）
2. The Girl Is Mine – Will.i.am （俱乐部混音）
3. The Girl Is Mine - 原始小样
数字单曲将于2008年1月14日发行。拥有以上曲目的CD单曲将于1月28日发行。另外一张拥有三支曲目的12英寸黑胶单曲也在计划之中，但最终曲目如何还没有确定。
单曲碟里收录的从未发行的《The Girl Is Mine》原始小样是在上世纪80年代初录制的，Michael一人演唱了两个角色（他的和后来Paul McCartney的）。
这张单曲是用来促销《Thriller》25周年纪念专辑。“黑眼豆豆”组合的制作人Will.i.am为该曲做了特别混音，并加入了自己的演唱。
In 2007, a demo version of the song (before Paul McCartney's involvement) was remixed with added new lyrics rapped by hip-hop vocalist and producer will.i.am, for Thriller 25 (a 25th anniversary special edition of Thriller). The mix is very different from the Thriller album recording and is significantly shorter - conforming to the modern trend for shorter songs being more popular as singles. Hip-hop beats have been layered over the remixed song, creating a very different sound and vibe though Jackson's original vocal recordings were retained. The song includes never before heard different and additional vocals by Jackson, taken from the original demo which is also included on the physical 5" CD single as well as iTunes downloads in most European iTunes stores.
Internationally, "The Girl Is Mine 2008" was released as a downloadable single on January 14 and as a physical release on January 25. In the U.K the original physical release date was January 28 but pushed back to February 4. In the U.S however, "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' 2008" was the first single to be released.These are Jackson's first singles since "One More Chance" , in 2003.

评价Will.i.am版本的《The Girl is Mine》令人兴奋，其中混入了放克又低沉的嘻哈式节奏。也许这就是Will所谓的“俱乐部爆炸曲”。值得注意的是，它巧妙使用了一些本来很可能是垃圾的东西，却结果造就了一些绝对独特的声效。
但这首曲目不只是一首经典的混音——Will和Michael将它变成了一首独立的新歌。在歌曲中，Will配合着Michael演唱合声部分，在“the girl is mine……”后，加入了有节奏的“she mine, she mine”，以及在“don't waste your time……”后，加入“your time, your time”。此外，Will还会突然插入一句说唱：“She likes the way I rock, the-way-I-rock”。
原始版本里的Paul McCartney被略掉了。这首曲目里找不到他。新的《The Girl is Mine》里，是Will来扮演“那个男人”。在结尾处，并没有原始《The Girl is Mine》的那段争风吃醋式的吵嘴对白（MJ和Paul McCartney），而是以一段说唱作为“回归”。这个版本比原始版本更加“合作”，因为原始版本里，我们只听到Michael和Paul在为一个女孩子吵来吵去，但在这个版本里，Will的那部分，仿佛融合在Michael的声音里，反之亦然。
另外还要注意到的是，这首新版本里，有Michael与之前不同的唱段。它们不是全新的，——尽管有些即兴插入的唱词可能是全新的，因为Michael之前在录音期间录制过很多种演唱样带，不知道是否是从那里面调用出来的。无论如何，听到这些不同的东西，非常让人兴奋。因为不管是不是全新的，它们对我们来说，却是全新的。现在，它们将要首度曝光了。
总的来说，这是一首优秀的曲目，你会忍不住跟着节奏点头。硬性的节奏和疯克的声效，配合着Michael惊人的嗓音和Will独特的说唱风格，毫无疑问将把这首歌推向俱乐部排行榜的榜首！
