Originally recorded with music veteran Paul Anka (best known for his work with Frank Sinatra) in 1983, “Love Never Felt So Good” was produced for this album by estate co-executor John McClain. Says McClain of the song: “Michael sounds incredible on this track just like he always does. There was never a day when he was anything other than great. He is immortal. And the song is great. Paul Anka is one of our finest writers.” McClain notes Jackson and Anka’s shared love for “melodies and real music…That’s what we need right now. It was an honor to work on a track that is both Mr. Anka’s and Michael’s.” McClain collaborated with talented classical composer Giorgio Tuinfort (who previously worked with Jackson and Akon on “Hold My Hand”) on the string arrangement and production. The result is “a magic combination of the new and the original production” that retains the track’s analog, early-80s feel, while also sounding right at home with the disco-soul inflected music of today.

Baby, love never felt so good, and I’d doubt if it ever could

Not like you hold me, hold me

Oh baby, love never felt so fine

And I’d doubt if it was ever mine

Not like you hold me, hold me

And the night is gonna be just fine

Gotta fly, gotta see, I can’t wait,

I can’t take it

Cause baby, every time I love you, in and out my life, in and out baby

Tell me

If you really love me, it’s in and out my life, in and out baby

So baby, yes, love never felt so good

Baby

Love never felt so fine (so fine)

And I’d doubt if it was ever mine

Not like you hold me, hold me

Oh baby, love never felt so good

And I’d doubt if it ever could

Not like you hold me, hold me

And the night is gonna be just fine

Gotta fly, gotta see, can’t believe

I can’t take it

Cause baby, every time I love you, it’s in and out my life, in and out baby

Tell me

If you really love me, it’s in and out my life, driving me crazy

Baby, love never felt so good

Baby, love never felt so fine, and I doubt if it was mine all mine

Not like you hold me, hold me

Oh baby, love never felt so good, so good

And I’d doubt if it ever could

Not like you hold me, hold me

And the night is gonna be just fine

Gotta fly, gotta see, can’t believe

I can’t take it

Cause baby, every time I love you, it’s in and out my life, in and out baby

Tell me

If you really love me, it’s in and out my life, driving me crazy

Cause baby, love never felt so good

Got what you got

So good

Oh it never felt so good

Never felt so good

Don’t you know, it never felt so good

Never felt so good

Yeah, yeah

It never felt so good

Never felt so good

Alright that’s fine, that’s it
