The spoken vocals by Princess Stéphanie of Monaco were re-recorded by Campbell for the video. The short film was shot in late March 1992 in Salton Sea, California, and premiered on April 23, 1992. The video was later published by Vevo on YouTube in 2010, and had generated more than 85 million views as of May 2024. The song "In the Closet" is Jackson's third single from Dangerous and third consecutive U.S. Hot 100 Top 10 hit from Dangerous after "Black or White" and "Remember the Time".
