Although This Is It, won't hit theaters for another two weeks, a new Michael Jackson song called, you guessed it, "This Is It," can be heard now.
The tune is classic King of Pop in the vein of "You Are Not Alone" or "Man in the Mirror," with a subdued fingersnap beat, strings and heavy background harmonies—harmonies sung by Jackson's squad of brothers. And yes, Michael sounds great.
Luckily, this isn't quite it; the concert film will hit theaters for a brief, two-week run starting Oct. 28 and a two-disc soundtrack will drop the day before, including two versions of the title track.

BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE THE SONG MICHAEL,JACKSON. HAS, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL- VOICE OF SONG, I HAVE EVER HEARD. HIS VOICE HAD BECOME EVEN MORE AMAZING. THIS IS IT, A PURE LOVE SONG. WHAT AN EXTAORDINARY CONCERT, THIS IS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN. MICHAEL YOU ARE (FOREVER, THE KING) I, LOVE YOU MICHAEL,JACKSON. SUPERFAN.
Thanks for sharing the song. Actually liked Michael's vocals, but not crazy about the production. Especially, disliked the background singers. And that's the Jackson 3-5 or so? I'd give it a 7.5. Is there an acoustic version?
Love this song, can't stop sing to it all day long! Mike you are the man! I miss you so much and the hurting of losing you wont ever go away...LOVE MJ!! You are to beautiful and kind, MY HERO!!!!!!!!!
Michael's songs are always the best because he gave the best and had the talent! M.J. is the only King of Pop, never will be another one! I miss M.J. so much, I feel so bad that people here in America were so judgemental of him that he never performed here again after the allegations made against him, he went out of the U.S. to those who were kind, non-judgemental and accepting of who he was..a very kind, loving & wonderful person. I grew up with M.J., believed in him always even though he is still a human being, he is one person that has touched my heart beyond words, I love M.J. and miss him dearly, Anna, Salt Lake City, Utah
His music will always be in my home and heart.
I'd just heard MJ new song and I REALLY enjoyed it; I'm not a MJ fan but, the song was very impressive and mellow...nice work MJ!!
