By the year 1986, the music group Wham! had reached great success. During the middle of the 1980s, George Michael was still in his early twenties. While the group Wham! presented a colorful image, the song titled Everything She Wants possessed a more sophisticated structure than the colorful image of the group.

Following this period, George Michael undertook both the songwriting and the production work for the album Faith entirely by himself. The Faith album succeeded in making George Michael one of the biggest stars in the world.

In the year 1990, the album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 was released by George Michael. The cover of Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 did not feature George Michael's face. In addition, George Michael did not appear in the music video for the song Freedom! '90. Instead of taking part in the video, George Michael handed the screen over to famous models. Within the music video for Freedom! '90, the leather jacket and the jukebox that were associated with the Faith era were destroyed.
