<P> The song was written by Jackson and produced by Quincy Jones (with Jackson as co-producer). An early version of the song was written in 1985, and the original demo was recorded the following year under the title of "Al Capone" (which was later released on Bad 25). This version did not make the album and was re-worked and re-written as "Smooth Criminal ." </P> <P> This song is played in the key of C major . Jackson's vocal spans from G3 to E5 . It has a moderate tempo of 118 beats per minute . The refrain of the song contains the phrase "Annie, are you OK?" This is a phrase used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training courses, and Michael Jackson is known to have taken a CPR course . Resusci Anne, otherwise known as "Annie" in English - speaking countries, is the name of a mannequin commonly used in CPR training . As part of the course, trainees are taught to say "Annie, are you OK?" to the dummy in order to check that the patient is conscious and responsive . This has been further verified by Gabriel Noguera of Cheltenham, England who claims to have been present during the training . He also claims the Bee Gees referred to the same course in their hit single' Staying Alive' . </P> <P> Jason Elias of AllMusic called the song one of Jackson's best: "Despite the content "Smooth Criminal" is a gorgeous and exhilarating record ." The New York Times' Jon Pareles wrote: "in Smooth Criminal, the singer finds a bloodstained carpet and an unconscious body, and asks, obsessively, Annie are you O.K.? when, clearly, she's not ." Rolling Stone's Davitt Sigerson wrote: "Smooth Criminal" may be the result of retiring too soon after a Brian de Palma picture ." </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs additional citations for verification .
