Background[]
"Thank You for Life" was first publicly acknowledged by Jackson during his deposition in Mexico in November 1993.[1] According to him, he wrote it solely and said that it was originally worked in 1973/1974. However, records from The U.S. Copyright Office indicate that it was recorded in 1976.[2] Based on these timeframes, the song could have been intended for one of several projects, including Music & Me, Forever Michael, or Off the Wall.
