Opinions on "If You Don't Love Me"?

[BadAtGames42749]

The song reminds me of beach songs in the summer time. Sure, I've heard a lot of people saying it's bad because "it's really repetitive". Okay. And? It's an amazing song! But, what about you? What do you think about the song?

There's already a thread for iydlm

If You Don’t Love Me (Dangerous outtake)

Has anyone else never heard this amazing song before until now? I agree with the comments on the video that it sounds way ahead of its time. I also find the song to be very relatable. Does anyone have any information about this song that would be interesting?

it has a punk rock feel with Motown lyrics

Possibly the worst song MJ ever recorded

You can tell it's very very very unfinished

The polished version doesn't sound unfinished. It actually is just a fun throwback to the '50s and '60s.

Welcome to this new phase of “opinions on this and that track” threads. Good thing we are now past the invincible threads era…yuhuu! As to the track itself…not a big fan.

I like the song, it's different, catchy, not as good as Smooth Criminal but has a nice rythm and fun lyrics.

I am aware. I was only joking.

One of the best unreleased songs. Simple, but great production and great harmonies.

 

[MKTCREATE]

I love the bridge, the other parts are so so IMHO.

When I first heard it, my first impression was that this song was like a cross-over between a Dangerous song and a Punkrockacademyfightsong (album by Down By Law) song. It gave me a feeling of precisely these two albums.

(Obviously no actual link since Punkrockacademyfightsong came out in 1994 if I remember well. More likely, maybe, common style influences.)

It's like a proto Black or White. In the same way as Do You Know Where Your Children Are was.

The way I see it, the only thing they have in common is a prominent guitar.

It's a pop rock tune like he wanted. I didn't say it was the demo of it.

I like it, the melody is nice with a cool bridge. It gets kinda repetitive in the end, I still like it tho.

You said it was the “proto” of it.

"IMHO"?

 

[Andymachine]

Nice bridge but cheezy as heck song. Hence unreleased lol . Most of the Loren songs are rubbish , Men in Black , Serious Effect very boring songs.

Am I wrong or does he sing
If you don't love me like I love me

thanks for the recommendation!

I re-listened to it because of this thread... Well... the bridge lyrics are so creepy...

Ehhh...I kinda like that ending to serious effect. Kinda reminds me of a sonic themed track/ Bart Simpson vibe, or hell...it could have taken its own Medley & song. It's so funky!
