現場表演
“In the Closet”並沒有被列為“Dangerous”巡演的表演曲目,不過,此曲的一部分則被用於“HIStory”巡演中的由“They Don't Care About Us”、“She Drives Me Wild ”和“In the Closet”組成的歌曲串燒部分中。可惜大部分節選都是歌中口白部分,所以無論如何該曲的現場表演都無法造成轟動。同時截止此曲結束,開場熱身表演部分完畢,MJ會卸下裝在四肢上的金屬開始表演Wanna Be Startin' Something 與Stranger In Moscow下接曲目 。

英語習語
這是一個比喻,指同性戀或雙性戀者向家人、朋友、認識的人以及社會隱藏其性傾向。相對的,當同志向他人表明其同志身份時,稱為「走出衣櫃」(Come out of the closet),簡稱「出櫃」。如大導演關錦鵬拍《藍宇》後,我們就看到了關於他「出櫃」的新聞。
歌曲MV
“In the Closet”出自專輯《Dangerous》(1991)。
導演:Herb Ritts & Michael Jackson
拍攝地點及時間:1992 內華達州拉斯維加斯外的沙漠
片長:6'15 分
首映日期:1992
主要演員:Michael Jackson,超級名模Naomi Cambell
簡評:“In the Closet”,由素有“壞男人”之稱的時尚攝影大師Herb Ritts(於2002年逝世)執導。該音樂錄影以帶棕色基調的黑白片拍攝手法進行拍攝,讓人想起直到60年代報紙行業仍然套用的輪轉影印的過程。梳著油亮馬尾,身穿緊身黑色牛仔褲和白色V型領T恤的MJ看起來相當優雅而西班牙化。音樂錄影的場景設計成一個莊園,伊比利亞舞女飄舞著她們的白色長裙。歌曲的節奏中充斥醉人的撞擊聲、抨擊聲、滴答聲及玻璃粉碎聲的片段。最後一分鐘則完全是MJ在門口或襯著白色的石灰牆壁跳舞的鏡頭,這是MJ基本舞蹈理念的再一次運用——無窮的重複中產生無窮的變化。音樂錄影最後以Michael重重把門關上的鏡頭結束。和MJ搭檔拍攝的是黑人名模Naomi Campbell,
這是一部令人熱血沸騰的MV,是MJ的巔峰作之一。MV里,MJ的動作健康陽光,溫柔性感。你會感受到MJ的性感風格,絕對的與眾不同。堪稱經典。
