For The World

RECORDING DATE

The track was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office in 2010. It credits Neff-U as the producer. According to Damien Shields, it dates back to “sometime from 1998 onwards” but doesn’t know which year specifically. Considering the producer, the song could’ve recorded or reworked between 2008 and 2009. It includes mumbled vocals and lasts 2 minutes.

“Starts with a beat which reminded me of “Free” from Bad 25 and “The Loser”. Lyrics: “Da da dadadada dee” (mumbling – includes the words “sun” and “trees” randomly) followed by “we do it for the world (x4)” followed by “alright” ad lib and some “ooo” vocals. […] According to my notes it has beat, sakers, bass and strings. It’s a light production. Not heavy. It has a similar, light, breezy vibe to the verses on “Free”. Lyrics mostly mumbled. It’s a demo. Ends after 2 mins when MJ stops the track and gives notes/instructions. That’s it […] Sometime from 1998 onwards. But I don’t know which year, sorry.”
