A lot of people mentioning that MJ gave his blessing for them to cover this song, but what's even more than that is that AAF sent him the finished Video before releasing it to make sure he was okay with everything in that too. He said he loved it but wasn't sure about the kid wearing the mask while dancing, so they reshot that kids entire part, extras and all, and sent him the edited version and he said after some though he actually preferred the mask version lol. So not only did he give the okay for them to cover the song, but at their request he also gave his blessing for the video itself :)

If you closely throughout the video there are easter eggs paying homage to MJ. I have counted 23 easter eggs how many can you find? Also, Alien Ant Farm were huge fans of Mj and contacted him and asked if they could do a cover and then later came back and asked if they could do a video. They asked how personal they could get and MJ just said let them do whatever. Now, when Mj first saw the video he liked everything except the kid wearing the mask. He thought it made fun of his illness and asked for it to be taken out. So there is actually a video floating around without the kid in it but then MJ saw it again and told them to go ahead and keep him in.
