Two reworked versions of the 1983 demo track originally composed by Jackson and Canadian singer-songwriter Paul Anka form the first single released from Jackson's second posthumous album, ''Xscape''. The first version is a solo produced by American record producer John McClain and Dutch record producer Giorgio Tuinfort. The second version is a duet featuring American singer Justin Timberlake, produced by American record producers Timbaland and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon. Its accompanying music video premiered on May 14, 2014. It is the second collaboration between Jackson and Anka to be released since Jackson's 2009 death — the first being "This Is It". Michael Jackson became the first artist in history to have a top-ten single on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in five different decades when "Love Never Felt So Good" reached number 9 on May 21, 2014 (six decades if his Jackson 5 tenure is included). The song also charted at number 8 on the UK Singles Chart. ==Background== First worked on as a demo, Jackson co-produced the song during a 1983 recording session with Anka. The original version only featured Jackson's vocals, finger snaps and a piano, played by Anka. In 1984, Anka sent the song to Johnny Mathis, who recorded a new version of the song with revised lyrics by Anka and Kathleen Wakefield. Mathis' version made it on his 1984 album, ''A Special Part of Me''. In 2006, Jackson's demo leaked online. During the 2013-2014 recording sessions for the ''Xscape'' album, the song was given a revision as a disco-sounding track. The first version, which only features Jackson, was produced by John McClain and Giorgio Tuinfort and was featured as the first track on the standard version of ''Xscape''. The second version, featured as the last track on the deluxe version of the album, was co-produced by Timbaland and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon and featured Timberlake in duet vocals with Jackson. While producing Timberlake's duet version, Timbaland sampled the percussion and breaths from Jackson's 1979 song "Workin' Day and Night". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Love Never Felt So Good」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
