“You have cultural icons who are celebrities to the people. That kind of scares people in a political climate who want control. They can't control them, so all they can do is make the press take control, debase these people and try to take their credibility.” »read more

Songfacts: You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.
This was the theme song to the movie The Legend of Billie Jean, which was a box office bomb despite the success of this song.
Simon Climie and Holly Knight wrote this song. Climie's songwriting credits include "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" by George Michael and Aretha Franklin, and "Ecstasy" by Jeff Beck. Knight wrote Benatar's 1983 hit "Love Is A Battlefield." Knight says of "Invincible": "I love that song. It's one of my favorite songs. I'd love to hear that song cut by an alternative band, like Foo Fighters or something." (Thanks to Holly Knight for speaking with us about this song. Her full interview is available in the Songfacts Songwriter Interviews.)

Comments:
This was kind of a "theme song" for me and a group of friends. The song will always mean so much to me for that. (For the record, I LOVED the movie, and never get sick of watching it! GOTTA find it on DVD!!!)

The reason I love this song is it reminds me of taking a stand and empowerment I heard that song since I saw the legend of bille jean
