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.[4]
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 rumours that "Chicago" was going to be the project's lead single.[5] However, that wouldn't end up being the case, with "Love Never Felt So Good" going on to be the lead single instead.[6]
Release
The song was released on May 5, 2014 on Sony Entertainment Network as a promotional single for promoting Xscape.[7]
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.[8]
