I heard this song on XM radio last week. Does anybody know why this Remix with EVE has never been officially released? Does anybody know the history on this song. I've been looking a Hard copy CD of this song. If you ain't heard it.....you got to check it out.

I can't believe it got no radio airplay. I know a lot of people who have never heard it. they have been playing it on XM radio for years. I just heard it the other day. I haven't heard it in quite a while. I've been checking alot of mJ greatest hits cd's.... and it's not on any of them.

That's funny. I thought it was released? Last I heard, that version peaked at No.2 on the Billboard R&B/Hip/Hop charts.

This is the original single cover for the song.

Fun facts:

Butterflies was written and composed by Andre Harris and Marsha Ambrosius, and produced by Michael Jackson and Andre Harris.

Butterflies is a R&B, Neo Soul, Adult Comtemporary style song.

• Lead Vocal by Michael Jackson
• Background vocals by Michael Jackson and Marsha Ambrosius

Marsha Ambrosius of the English Neo-Soul duo Floetry wrote this ballad when she was in highschool. She and Natalie Stewart both attended the Brit School for Performing Arts & Technology. They met Jackson through John McClain, DreamWorks's senior urban executive who also manages Jackson.Michael heard some of their material liked it and wanted to record some songs with them. He really liked Butterflies and it was reported one of his favorite songs off Invincible.

I started to apreciate invincible more since he passed away. The ballads are really good. Not of the level of earthsong or stranger in moscow, or human nature but still goods songs.

Favorites : butterflies, break of dawn, ,heaven can wait, what ever happens, dont walk away, speechless(dispite the corny lyrics)

I know that such an opinion - almost a crime in this forum. but I cant say that I love butterflies.

I like the song, one of the 5 decent songs on Invincible, but I dont think it's great, just really good .... not in my top 40 favorite songs of MJ

Invincible is a good album. Not his best, but underrated compared to what critcis said.

Standout tracks:

Butterflies, Break of Dawn- Co, Whatever Happeens, Unbreakable-Co, Heaven Can Wait-Co, Speechless -written by MJ, Threatened, You Are My Life ( I love the chorus very pretty-written by MJ ) most of all his BEST songs were written by him himself.

Favorite tracks: Break of Dawn- sexy ass song smh to sexy I think this is the best song on the album, Butterflies-nuff said one of the strongest tracks on the album, Whatever Happens- Santana Collab + production= masterpiece, Unbreakable- I just love this song , Heavn Can Wait- very R&B 90s inspired, Threatened- I like the production

Saying you love a song doesnt necessarily mean you would rank it high among other MJ songs. I wouldnt rank Butterflies that high either but its a sexy, neo soul song and MJ did the damn thing on it

He sure gave me butterflies hearing him sing it

I LOVE Whatever Happeens!!!!!!
I bought this album just for one this song ...

although
I like:
Heaven Can Wait
You Rock My World
Butterflies
Speechless

and I almost like:
Threatened
Break Of Dawn
Don't Walk Away

not much like it, but I appreciate the overall mood of the song:
The Lost Children

9 out of 16

other songs - a mess for me. soooo half of the album is very weak, and the first three tracks of the same type are awful
