A breezy, mid-tempo groove, “Loving You” was written and produced by Jackson and originally recorded at Red Wing Studio in the San Fernando Valley during the early Bad sessions. “Sometimes he got a song idea, and he just wanted to test it out before going to Westlake,” recalls Jackson’s longtime recording engineer, Matt Forger. “He’d sneak away to these smaller studios and it would just be a place where he could work and experiment and add different layers.” After his home studio was renovated, Jackson continued work on the track at Hayvenhurst. With its charming Motown-like vibe and effortless vocal, the song takes the listener back to an earlier era, offering another gem from one of the most prolific periods in Jackson’s career.

Hello August moon, where are the stars of the night?

You promised me too soon, cause it’s been cloudy all night

And the weatherman said “If you’re not well stay in bed”

Cause I’ve been feeling down and blue

And it’s cloudy in my head

Instead of going out to some restaurant, I’ll stay home in bed

I’ll be loving you

That’s what I want to do

I’ll be loving you

That’s what I want to do

Hello midnight lover, you’re the one I adore

And I’ll be thinking of you till the stars are no more

If it’s cloudy or blue, I’ll stay here with you

We’ll make a wish and then we’ll kiss

Our love forever true

Instead of going out to some restaurant, I’ll stay here with you

And I’ll be loving you

That’s what I want to do

I’ll be loving you

That’s what I want to do

It seems you don’t know, we’ve reached the highest mountain

Every time I seem to disappear

And together we will fly

We’ll dance up in the heavens

I can really feel it when you’re near

And the weatherman said, “If you’re not well stay in bed”

Cause I’ve been feeling down and blue

And it’s cloudy in my head

Instead of going out to some restaurant, I’ll stay home in bed

But I’ll be loving you

That’s what I want to do

I’ll be loving you

That’s what I want to do
