"Loving You" is a song by American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson that was originally recorded before the Bad sessions in 1985 and the chorus section had notable similarities to "The Girl Is Mine". Matt Forger, one of Jackson's trusted engineers stated that, "It was a good song, just not in serious consideration for the album, Bad. One of many that were recorded and put away."[1] A reworked version of the song was included in Jackson's posthumous album Xscape (2014).

Release

The song made its debut on May 6, 2014 on Epic Records and was available streaming for Epic Unlimited members.[2]
