I actually really dig this. It’s a little generic, but I can hear MJ flowing over it seamlessly.
 
If this is real then what a waste that this song went to Drake, even Paul Anka's vocals sound great here. If Michael never recorded a solo version then Paul himself should've released the song like he did with the duet version of "This Is It". What an actual waste that Drake left out vocals too.

I still wish that the Estate had released this demo for T40 instead of CGOTR or whatever recycled crap from TUC. They did this song dirty through and through.
 
judging by how many fully AI-made songs go for this old soul vibe and how...just badly the mj vocals are pasted at the end - yeah i'd say this is fake lol
Yeah, hard to believe snippets like this with AI out there and easily accessible nowadays.

I've also always assumed this song was extremely unfinished considering the chorus was given to Drake lol.

Streetwalker, tyla & now this; all these recent "leaks" have something that doesn't sound right.

And it's always the same guys who are vocal about their "authenticity".
 
This song is my holy grail now, up there with "Adore You". That piano is so catchy. One thing I find interesting about this demo is that in terms of production it sounds more complete than "This Is It" and "Love Never Felt So Good" does, we can hear it at least has percussions unlike the other 2 songs which are plain piano-tracks.

I know for a fact there's a certain circle of people who have access to songs that the rest of us on this forum consider super obscure holy grails. So I'm wondering, are all these snippets coming from them?

With how many songs are going around, it feels like it's only a matter of time before they end up in the hands of some kids and leak in full, maybe not too far off. That's assuming they're all real, of course
