"Hey, Hey, Rise Up!" (also written "Hey Hey Rise Up") is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on streaming and downloading platforms on 8 April 2022. It is based on a 1914 Ukrainian anthem, "Oh, the Red Viburnum in the Meadow", and features vocals in Ukrainian by Andriy Khlyvnyuk of the Ukrainian band BoomBox. The track is the first entirely new piece of music recorded by Pink Floyd since "Louder than Words" was released with The Endless River in 2014. Guitarist David Gilmour was inspired to record it in support of Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion. The band both released the track as a single commercially and also put out a music video, directed by Mat Whitecross, centered around images of life struggling amidst warfare. A physical edition of the single on CD and vinyl was released on 15 July 2022, which also included a new version of "A Great Day for Freedom".

Работа над альбомом велась в период с апреля по ноябрь 1982 года на студии Westlake Recording Studios в Лос-Анджелесе. Продюсированием занимались Куинси Джонс и сам Джексон. Всего в альбоме девять треков, четыре из них были написаны самим певцом. Все семь синглов, выпущенных из Thriller, попали в топ-10 чарта Billboard Hot 100. На три из них были сняты музыкальные видеоклипы. Эта пластинка позволила Джексону сломать расовые барьеры в поп-музыке: видео на песни «Thriller», «Billie Jean» и «Beat It» попали в регулярную ротацию на MTV. Альбом был одним из первых, использующих музыкальные видео в качестве успешного инструмента продвижения. Всего за год Thriller стал самым продаваемым альбомом всех времён и остаётся таковым до сих пор.

Dangerous features catchy pop hooks and choruses while also introducing underground sounds to a mainstream audience. The album's tone is noted by critics as gritty and urban, with sounds including honking horns, sliding chains, swinging gates, breaking glass, crashing metal. Throughout the album Jackson also implements beatboxing, scat singing, and finger snapping. The album is considered an artistic change for Jackson, with his music focusing to more socially conscious material, and a broader range of sounds and styles.
