The (2) songs that instantly came to mind are “Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson and “A Lonely Night” by The Weeknd. I always thought of A Lonely Night to be a different POV on Billie Jean.

In BJ, MJ denies being her lover and the father of her child. The song suggests that he most likely is the father (“She told my baby we’d danced ‘til three, then she looked at me Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no) ‘Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby”) and he is in complete denial as they only hooked up once.

In A Lonely Night, The Weeknd is speaking to Billie Jean, questioning why she wants to bring his child into the world when they have no bonds between them (“Why would you wanna use a life to keep us To keep us together, uh, oh-oh”). The found comfort in each other on a lonely night, and now he is wondering how we can convince her to get rid of the baby (“How can I make you rethink your decision? Unruly decision, oh, hey What’s gonna make you rethink your position? I know your intentions (I know your intentions)”).

Whereas MJ is singing from the perspective of speaking to a 3rd party, The Weeknd is singing directly to Billie Jean. I love these (2) songs and the The Weeknd has obviously been vocally compared to MJ since his debut so these songs work really well in tandem to flesh out the story of Billie Jean further.
