Michael Jackson - Xscape

The track is the title song off of MJ’s upcomingposthumous album XSCAPE. Jackson wrote the song with
Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, who produced a chunk of the
King of Pop’s last proper LP, Invincible, in 2001.
“XSCAPE” features many familiar MJ themes. The upbeat
drum roll and static synth line give way to Jackson’s
patented grunts, m0ans and signature wails. “Everywhere I
turn, no matter where I look, the system’s in control, it’s all
run by the book,” a distrustful Mike sings before coming to
the conclusion: “I got to get away, so I can free my mind.”
For much of his career, MJ battled with the pressures of
fame, often expressing feelings of being trapped. In the
song’s second verse, he turns his attention towards his
impossible love life. “I tried to share my life with someone
I could love, but gaining money is all she ever thought of,”
he sings.
