"Love Never Felt So Good" is a song by American singer and songwriter Michael Jackson, released posthumously on May 2, 2014. The song, reworked from a 1983 demo track originally composed by Jackson and Canadian singer-songwriter Paul Anka, was the first single released from Jackson's second posthumous album, Xscape. Two versions of the single were developed. The first was a solo version produced by American record producer John McClain and Dutch record producer Giorgio Tuinfort. The second version was a duet featuring American singer Justin Timberlake, produced by American record producers Timbaland and J-Roc, which received positive reviews from music critics. Its accompanying music video premiered on May 14, 2014 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. In the video, Timberlake appears with a crowd of young dancers, who reference Jackson's most known dance moves, interspersed with archival footage of the pop singer's many short films. The song is the second collaboration between Jackson and Anka to be released since Jackson's death in 2009 — the first being "This Is It". The duet version of "Love Never Felt So Good" charted within the top ten in eighteen international charts, reaching the top spot in five countries. Michael Jackson became the first artist in history to have a top 10 single on the US Billboard Hot 100 in five different decades when "Love Never Felt So Good" reached number 9 on May 31, 2014 (six decades if his Jackson 5 tenure is included). It spent eight weeks on top of the US Adult R&B Songs. The song also charted at number 8 on the UK Singles Chart. Background The original demo was conceived and recorded during a two-week collaborative stint between Jackson and Anka in 1983, around the same time as "This Is It"(Originally titled "I Never Heard") and "Don't Matter to Me". The original version only featured Jackson's vocals, finger snaps and a piano, played by Anka. The song was later recorded by Johnny Mathis in 1983, with revised lyrics by Anka and Kathleen Wakefield. The Mathis version was included on his 1984 album, A Special Part of Me. In 2006, Jackson's demo leaked online. In 2010, the co-executor of The Estate Michael Jackson, John McClain, and Dutch composer, Giorgio Tuinfort, remixed the track to be considered for Michael, the first posthumous album of Jackson's unreleased material.
