"Seven Digits" (also known as "7 Digits") is an unreleased song written and produced by American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson intended for the Dangerous and Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix albums.
Background[]
"Seven Digits" was made with Bryan Loren in the summer of 1990. The full runtime is 2:56.[1] It was first planned to be included on the Dangerous album, however, it didn't make the final selection. The track was later planned for inclusion on Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix. However, it was replaced by "Superfly Sister", as it was more complete and demanded less time to finish.
A snippet of the song was leaked on Shana Mangatal's Instagram story on August 25, 2019, alongside "Don't Believe It".[2] Mangatal had also confirmed she owns a thirty-minute cassette tape with at least three different versions of the song. The tape also includes audio of Jackson writing the song.
On February 2, 2024, a DAT tape of "Seven Digits" was announced to be put on auction, which was set to take place on February 7.[3] Los Angeles Estate Auction posted on their Instagram a completely new snippet of the song, revealing details concerning the cassette.[4][5] Unfortunately, no one bid.
Similarly to Shana Mangatal's description, the DAT features not only the song but a full one-hour and thirteen minutes long "session of Michael Jackson's practice and workout routines, providing an intimate look into his artistic process." These are also bundled with an MP3 of the song.[4]
In February 2025, the same tape Mangatal owned (or a copy of it) with the song and its writing session went on sale at gottahaverockandroll.com.

Lyrics[]
She'll never show me her love, she'll never try
She'd never leave me alone, she'll never see
And all the people you cross around the scene
To see the dead and all [?], but
They only give you seven digits when you die
Hee
