"Chicago" is a song by American recording artist Michael Jackson. The song was originally recorded during the Invincible recording sessions under the name "She Was Lovin' Me". A reworked version of the song was included in Jackson's posthumous album Xscape.

It was first revealed that "Chicago" would be the first release from the Xscape album.[3] However, plans changed and "Love Never Felt So Good" became the debut release instead. Jackson told his longtime friend he wanted a space-like theme to the song and he wanted to use his voice as the background music looping his "Ooohs". Jackson did help write the track but didn't receive credit.

Release[]

The song was released on May 5, 2014 on Sony Entertainment Network as a promotional single for promoting Xscape.[4]

Papercha$er Remix[]

The song's "Papercha$er Remix" was made available for select Sony customers through Xperia Lounge and Music Unlimited as Track 9 of the standard edition.[5]
