A signature (/ˈsɪɡnətʃər/; from Latin: signare, "to sign") is a handwritten (and often stylized) depiction of someone's name, nickname, or even a simple "X" or other mark that a person writes on documents as a proof of identity and intent. The writer of a signature is a signatory or signer. Similar to a handwritten signature, a signature work describes the work as readily identifying its creator. A signature may be confused with an autograph, which is chiefly an artistic signature. This can lead to confusion when people have both an autograph and signature and as such some people in the public eye keep their signatures private whilst fully publishing their autograph.
The traditional function of a signature is evidential: it is to give evidence of:
For example, the role of a signature in many consumer contracts is not solely to provide evidence of the identity of the contracting party, but also to provide evidence of deliberation and informed consent.
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. Called the King of Pop, his contributions to music and dance, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his elder brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon as a member of the Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971. In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller" from his 1982 album Thriller, were credited with breaking down racial barriers and with transforming the medium into an art form and promotional tool. The popularity of these videos helped to bring the then-relatively-new television channel MTV to fame. His 1987 album Bad spawned the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Man in the Mirror", and "Dirty Diana", becoming the first album to have five number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. With videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream", he continued to innovate the medium throughout the 1990s, as well as forging a reputation as a touring solo artist. Through stage and video performances, Jackson popularized a number of complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive sound and style has influenced numerous artists of various music genres.

Ooh yeah
There's so much I wanna say to you, yeah
Whoa, slow it down so I can say what I wanna say
[verse 1]
Shouldn't have to tell you how I feel
You know my loving is real
From the crown of my head to the sole of my feet
What is this that I feel, taking control of me
My body's in trouble, it's you that I need
[chorus 1]
This is how you walk
This is how you talk
Or this is how you smile
That makes me come alive
I wanna know what it is about you
[chorus 2]
Cause every little thing that I've been searching for
Girl I see it in you
You're my dream come true
Every single day, in every little way
Every single night I prey, that you'll be there for me
Cause I'll be there for you
[chorus 1]
[verse 2]
Can we go for a walk, and have a little talk
So I can get to know you
Got a lot of things to show you
Please understand, that I'm only your man
And my heart's getting stronger
Don't keep me waiting much longer
[bridge]
Ahh yeah,
Wanna get to know you better
