"Speed Demon" was written and co-produced by Michael Jackson, and produced by Quincy Jones. The song appears on Jackson's album, Bad. The song was released as a promotion single, but reportedly was planned to be released as an official single. The song's length is four-minutes-one second long. The songs lyrics are about driving fast. According to Jones, Jackson had written the song after he received a traffic ticket, causing him to arrive late to the recording studio. After Jackson told Jones about it, Jones told him to write how he felt about it therefore turning into a song later on. Although "Speed Demon" was part of Jackson's Bad album, Jackson did not perform the song during his Bad World Tour, nor any of his other tours.

He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”

—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
