Another week, another bonus track announced. Today it was the Rod Temperton penned “Got the Hots,” which fans will be familiar with due its release on the Japanese version of the 2008 “Thriller 25” album. It was previously considered for the 2001 “Thriller Special Edition,” but never made the got cut.

This is another song written by Rod Temperton for “Thriller” but it didn’t make the cut. It was ultimately included on certain versions of the King of Pop compilation album released in various international markets in 2008.
