"'''Someone Put Your Hand Out'''" (on disc three of ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Michael Jackson album)|The Ultimate Collection]]'') is a song originally written by Michael Jackson with Teddy Riley in 1987 for the ''[[Bad (Michael Jackson album)|Bad]]'' album and re-written in April 1992, having failed to make it on to Jackson's 1991 album ''[[Dangerous (Michael Jackson album)|Dangerous]]''.

== Promotion ==
It was released May 1992 in [[Europe]] as an exclusive [[Pepsi]] promotional single, to promote Jackson’s upcoming [[Dangerous World Tour]]. 500,000{{Citation needed|date=February 2016}} copies were made available by collecting a winning token from certain Pepsi products. It was also released as part of an exclusive Pepsi promotional pack in June 1992 throughout Europe and the [[United Kingdom]]. The promotional pack included a Michael Jackson poster, a promotional sticker, a press release about Jackson’s upcoming Dangerous World Tour and a [[cassette single]] of "Someone Put Your Hand Out". In 1993 the song was also planned to be released in the [[United States]] as a promotional [[CD]] for the [[Sony Walkman]]. Customers who purchased a special Michael Jackson signature Sony Walkman would receive a bonus CD featuring "Someone Put Your Hand Out" as well as other rare Jackson songs and remixes of his hits. However, this promotion was withdrawn following the [[1993 child sexual abuse accusations against Michael Jackson]]. The song was also released on a 3" CD promotional-only copy.

==Live performances==
"Someone Put Your Hand Out" was never performed live by Jackson himself, but it was included as an instrumental version in Jackson's [[Dangerous World Tour]].
