"Give In to Me" is the tenth track on Michael Jackson's 1991 studio album Dangerous. The single peaked at #1 in New Zealand for 4 consecutive weeks, and at #2 on the UK Singles Chart. It features former Guns N' Roses lead guitarist Slash. The single was never released in North America or Asia.
The single release is notable for its B-sides, which include the album versions of "Dirty Diana" and "Beat It", two songs which also include guest appearances by rock guitarists (Steve Stevens and Eddie Van Halen, respectively).
