"Revenge" is an unreleased song written and produced by American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson intended for his 1995 double album, HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I.
Background[]
"Revenge" was recorded in 1994. A cassette tape of the track was put up for auction in 2016, alongside other songs such as "Ask DD", "Ask Rene", "Family Thing", and "The Best Thing". “Revenge” is a very unfinished and simple beat, with no further production developed.
On July 13, 2022, Pez Jax, the author of The Story of HIStory and Off The Wall: From the Beginning, Brick by Brick books, was interviewed for The Big MJ Debate YouTube channel, where he revealed details about "Revenge".
“ | There are things like, for example in HIStory there's a tape with "Revenge" written on it, and one of the producers I know has that tape and he was like 'it's literally [click] [stomp] [click] [stomp] [click] | ” |
