Michael Jackson - In The Back

Written and recorded by Michael between 1994-2004.

It was scheduled to feature on Michael's 1997 album, Blood On The Dance Floor, until Superfly Sister replaced it - early press releases listed it as one of the tracks on the album.

It then remained unreleased until it was included in the box-set, The Ultimate Collection, issued in November 2004.

In The Back - Lyrics

You're just preaching the Bible and they still speakin you're a liar
And you still deal with the fires
That they made...

dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah, and you
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah

Why you wanna get me?
Dreams don't last forever…oh no !
Why you wanna fix me?
See, if the police don't take it
God forsake it
I can't take it

Why you stab me in the back?

We're so gonna loose
And she, knows they got this to be
She... I dah dah dah dah dah

dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah and She
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah

Why you wanna get me?
This dude won't last forever
Why you wanna hit me?
See, if the police don't take it
God forsake it
I'll fell breaking

Why you stab me in the back?

Why you wanna fix me?
Dreams don't last forever…oh nooo
Why you wanna get me?
?????????????????????
Why you wanna get me ?
?????????????????????
Why you wanna get me?
See, if the police don't take it
God forsake it
I wan't take it
Why you stab me in the back?

So many predators stabbed you in the back, Michael. They wanted to get you and hit you. God forsake it. God bless you, Michael. Your fans are here for you always. We will forever protect your rightful, true legacy. Love you.

Oh man, he's gone too soon. He was just making a comeback and God was ready for him. God, why you stabbed us in the back.

I wish there were both Superfly Sister and In The Back instead of some remixes

Je suis d'accord avec toi philip-alain, cette chanson est pour moi une des belles surprise du Ultimate Collection...très vraisemblablement issue des cession compo de Ghosts dans son traitement mélodique, l'approche est aussi déconcertante que Is It Scary ou autre titre de cette époque.

Il va en contre courant de son style et du coup ce titre deviens original et très agréable à écouter, je ne m'en lasse pas

Etonnant ce que dit Helene, je ne suis personnellement pas de cet avis et visiblement la note de ce morceau est excellente, mais ça prouve à quel point Michael sait ce demarquer et surprendre, quitte à decontenancer. Je mettrai plutôt un 9 ou un 10.

ok, c'est une version démo mais là, c'est carrémment un ovni dans le paysage Jacksonnien ! Cette chanson est trop bizarre et perso, je n'accroche pas plus que ça sauf peut être sur les basses bien marquées dans le refrain... 2/10
