The Sky Is the Limit

"The Sky Is the Limit" is a unreleased song by Michael Jackson. It’s unknown what project it was intended for.

Background[]

The song was first acknowledged by the artist himself during the Mexico deposition in November 1993. Michael confirmed he wrote it with one of his brothers but didn't specify who exactly nor did he give away any further information about the track.^[1] However, this could hint at the track being intended for the Jacksons.

Trivia[]

It's rumored to be a early version of "Bad" due to the title resembling the lyrics "Well, they say the sky is the limit [...]".
