"Chicago" is a song by American singer Michael Jackson. The song was originally written by Cory Rooney under the title "She Was Lovin' Me". Jackson recorded the track at the Hit Factory recording studio in New York City during the Invincible album sessions between late March and mid-April 1999.
The track was ultimately not selected for Invincible and remained unreleased and unheard by the public for 15 years. Following Jackson's death, Rooney collaborated with his nephew, Taryll Jackson, on a new production in 2010.
In 2014, the track was reworked yet again, this time by producer Timbaland. The Timbaland version of the track was ultimately included on Jackson's second posthumous album, Xscape, under the title "Chicago". Nine months before Xscape was officially released, Timbaland sparked rumors that "Chicago" was going to be the project's lead single. However, that did not end up being the case, with "Love Never Felt So Good" going on to be the lead single instead.
