《地球之歌》是電影《老男孩》裡的一首插曲。這首歌是邁克爾·傑克遜《HIStory》專輯中第三支進行世界範圍發行的單曲，是傑克遜的“公益三部曲”之一，於1995年12月初發行。這首歌曲創作自1995年，當時世界戰爭不斷，汙染越來越嚴重，在那樣的歷史背景下，邁克爾傑克遜親自作詞，作曲以及編曲和製作，創作了《地球之歌》。《地球之歌》（Earth Song）最初以《我呢》（What About Us）的名字為《危險》（Dangerous）專輯而作，後經重新制作和優化，入選了《歷史》（HIStory）專輯。

《地球之歌》首周即勇奪冠軍位置並蟬聯6周第一名，成為英國單曲榜歷史上最重要的聖誕檔期冠軍曲。在整個歐洲大陸《地球之歌》幾乎都是前5名的單曲。歌詞以設問的形式展開，引人反思。這首歌代表了傑克遜靈魂裡的許多東西。音樂錄影以倒放鏡頭的拍攝製作手法，在熒幕上完成了一個現實中永遠不可能實現的夢境。這部天真而煽情的短片引起了世人的共鳴，然而這個已經充滿危機的世界的真正得救之道，還在於人類自身的覺醒、即刻的行動和不懈的努力。
