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 ooooos. 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]

gollark: Yep.
gollark: Anyway, because I *don't* want the reactor to melt down and kill everyone, I'm using a fuel which allows me to make relatively efficient and heat-negative stuff.
