"Rock With You"出自專輯《Off The Wall》(1979),是一首極富節奏感和浪漫情調的情歌,旋律優美,Michael用他暢滑的聲線演繹著性感,正如這首歌的歌名,你會在聽到它的時候不住搖擺,歌曲本身極富意境,讓你想到和戀人在夜晚相會,那夜鶯美妙的旋律隨著夜晚的浪漫一起迴蕩在你的耳邊,極富浪漫的氣息,加上Michael那讓人回味無窮的聲線。絕對是一首浪漫至極的歌曲。這首歌曲在當時的排行榜的冠軍寶座上占據了四周。
“Rock With You”是專輯《Off The Wall》在英國的第三隻單曲(1980年2月) ,亦是在美國發行的第2隻單曲(1979年11月)。它在英國排行榜上最高排名為第7名。成為了Michael《Off The Wall》專輯在英國榜上的第3隻Top 10單曲,並進一步促進了專輯的銷售。在美國它則勇奪排行榜冠軍(4周)。它也是R&B榜上的冠軍。它賣出了100多萬張並獲得了白金唱片獎的認證。它在單曲榜內共逗留了24個星期。它幾乎沒有在世界範圍內發行,對比起它在英美兩地取得的輝煌勝利,這不能不說是一個遺憾。其在德國的發行,也以排名最高僅達到第58位而慘澹收場。
部分國家的排行榜信息: 德國: #58
現場表演
Michael在大部分“Bad”世界巡演上都完整而熟練地表演過該曲,並配以令人難忘的舞步。它沒有被選入“Dangerous”巡演的表演曲目中去;然而在第一輪“HIStory”巡演中,它作為了“Off the Wall歌曲串燒”的一部分(對口型演唱)。配合這首歌的舞步是非常棒的。

The Masters at Work Remix and Frankie Knuckles remixes both contain previously unheard vocals and ad-libs not heard on the original albumversion.

The master tapes contained additional vocals and cuts that didn't make it onto the original album version.
