The number featuring the K-pop label's boy band NCT 127 and Lay, a Chinese member of boy group EXO, was released simultaneously across the world at 12 a.m. Friday (Eastern Standard Time.)
American singer-songwriter Jason Derulo, who is known for his Billboard chart-topping song "Wiggle," performs with the K-pop stars. He was also among the artists involved in the songwriting.
The single reportedly reproduces the artistry and sensitivity of Jackson in an impeccable way, enabling followers of the legend to remember his hits such as "Black or White," "BAD" and "Smooth Criminal."
The complete version of the album will hit shelves on June 25, which marks the 10th anniversary of Jackson's death.
Jackson, one of the most influential cultural figures of the 20th century, achieved meteoric stardom after releasing the album "Thriller" in 1982. He died of a heart attack in 2009.
