It was originally going to be on the album, but it was replaced by "You Are My Life" at the last minute. I read in an interview with one of the people who wrote the song that Mottola may have forced MJ to remove the song, but I find that unlikely when MJ convinced him to keep "The Lost Children" on the album. If MJ could convince Mottola to keep that song, then I'm pretty sure he could have convinced him to put any song on the album. I think it's more likely that MJ himself chose to replace "Shout" with "You Are My Life" because that song was for his kids and he got a co-writer credit for changing the title from "You Are My World".
