The track is the title song off of MJ’s upcoming posthumous album XSCAPE. Jackson wrote the song with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, who produced a chunk of the King of Pop’s last proper LP, Invincible, in 2001.

“XSCAPE” features many familiar MJ themes. The upbeat drum roll and static synth line give way to Jackson’s patented grunts, moans and signature wails. “Everywhere I turn, no matter where I look, the system’s in control, it’s all run by the book,” a distrustful Mike sings before coming to the conclusion: “I got to get away, so I can free my mind.”

For much of his career, MJ battled with the pressures of fame, often expressing feelings of being trapped. In the song’s second verse, he turns his attention towards his impossible love life. “I tried to share my life with someone I could love, but gaining money is all she ever thought of,” he sings.

The new song from Michael Jackson has leaked online, according to Gigwise.com. People are saying that it’s the title track from his upcoming, posthumous album called Xscape. Check out the song…

They say:

“The funky ‘Xscape’ was written by Jackson and Rodney Jerkins during recording sessions for what was to be the final album Jackson released whilst he was alive, 2001′s Invincible. It certainly has an early 00s sound to it, and is similar in style to Invincible’s lead single ‘You Rock My World.’”
