Chicago is on Sony Music Unlimited, 30 second Snippet preview has been released.
The Full version is open to users of the service, and I believe free trails.

It sounds disjointed at first but it really comes together. Its a good song, not sure what I like more the JT LNFSG or Chicago. The chorus is REALLY hard to type.

...."she was all alone, she said...She was wanting me!
[She was loving me, She Was Loving Me, oh yea]
She lied to you! She Lied to Me! Don't she wanna love me, love me? yea...

I never would have thought she was living like that.
Her words seem so sincere, when I own 'n near
She would tell me how she feels
It felt so real to me...."
 
So frustrating that it's not available in my country.
 
just heard full its awesome guys :) :wild: :clapping:
 
UPDATED LYRICS - COMPLETE


CHICAGO

I met her on my way to Chicago
Where she was all alone
And so was I
So I asked her for her name

She smiled and looked at me
I was surprised to see
That a woman like that
Was really into me

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(She was loving me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(She was wanting me)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(She was loving me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
Yeah

I never would've thought she was living like that
Her words seemed so sincere
When I held her near
She would tell me how she feels

If felt so real to me
This girl, she had to be
An angel sent from heaven just for me

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(She was loving me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(She was loving me)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(She was loving me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
Yeah

She tried to live a double life
Loving me while she was still your wife
(She was wanting me)
She thought that everything was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(She was loving me)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(She was wanting me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Because she had a family, family
Yeah

Why.. Ooh no
Alright
Ohh
(I'm in love, love)

I didn't know she was already spoken for
'Cause I'm not that kind of man
Swear that I would've never looked her way
Now I feel so much shame
And all things have to change
You should know that I'm holding her blame

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(Holding her to blame)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(Holding her to blame)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(Holding her to blame)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
(Holding her to blame)
Yeah

She tried to live a double life
Loving me while she was still your wife
(Holding her to blame)
She thought that everything was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(Holding her to blame)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(Holding her to blame)
She lied to you, lied to me
Because she had a family, family
Yeah

She said she didn't have no man
Raised her kids the very best she can
(She was loving me)
She told me she was all alone
Said at home she didn't have no phone
(She was loving me)
She said just to give her a page
To spend the night was the goal she played
(She was loving me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Thought she was loving me, loving me
Yeah

She tried to live a double life
Loving me while she was still your wife
(She was wanting me)
She thought that everything was cool
With you at work and the kids at school
(She was loving me)
She said that it would never end
Tried to keep me any way she can
(She was wanting me)
She lied to you, lied to me
Because she had a family, family
Yeah

Only half a line I can't make out. (Spent the night....)
 
2 first song from the album has surprised me VERY much - and in a VERY POSITIVE WAY!!

This is a perfect release so far!! Great job Estate and SONY - and Timbaland and L.A. Reid!
 
I won't listen to it until I get the album, hopefully.
But could someone describe the sounds, what kind of song, compare to known songs, ...?
Was Timbaland right that it should be the first single? :)
 
IT F'KING ROCKS !!

Great great song!
 
Omg.... GANGSTA MIKE IN THE HOOUUSE? I love it. :wild::clapping:

"I never woulda thought thought she was livin' like that
Her words ain't so sincere
When I held her near
She would tell me how she feels
It felt so real to me..."


That part, his voice, lawd.
 
All I am getting is this...

I don't know about it being the lead single. To me, it sounds very 90s MJ. Kind of reminds me of a hybrid of Can't Let Her Get Away and Heaven Can Wait. It has a very hooky chorus with MJ singing "she was loving me" very slowly in the background while singing over it using his angry voice.

It's a very good song. Not one of his best, but it definitely could've been a good track on Invincible.

I'm not sure about 1st single. It's really strange but in a very good way. It's like a hood version of whatever happens .. but the 'I was done wrong' version. Lots of cool synths. Quacking ducks haha. It's awesome.

"Spend the night was the goal she played" and yes u got a few more lines I didn't get.. Gonna add it to my original post.. Thanks!

Almost there.. "Spend the night was the goal she played" "goal she goal", not?
 
The song is awesome, sounds so classic, but.... The instrumental sucks hard. Well, may be that's just my opinion, but it's so cheap and unmichaelish
 
I don't know about it being the lead single. To me, it sounds very 90s MJ. Kind of reminds me of a hybrid of Can't Let Her Get Away and Heaven Can Wait. It has a very hooky chorus with MJ singing "she was loving me" very slowly in the background while singing over it using his angry voice. It's a very good song. Not one of his best, but it definitely could've been a good track on Invincible.
Yes, I agree. To be honest I think LNFSG is a better lead single than this song would be. Let's face it: most of the general public does not like confrontative MJ. They like the smooth, light, fun, dancy MJ of OTW-Thriller era. That's what they get with LNFSG. This is more of the confrontative MJ (bad women who seduce poor helpless men etc.). Chicago has a nice hook, but I think LNFSG is catchier for the general public.
