This Is It (Michael Jackson song) "This Is It" is a song co-written by American pop star and musician Michael Jackson and Canadian singer-songwriter Paul Anka. The song was recorded by the former and featured as a track on the album, "This Is It" (2009), which accompanies the 2009 concert documentary "Michael Jackson's This Is It". It was premiered worldwide on Jackson's official website on October 12, 2009 four months after his death on June 25, 2009. Although Sony Music Entertainment referred to the song as a "new single" during its promotion, it was later confirmed that the song would only be sent for airplay, and not be available to buy as a single release. According to Anka, the song was recorded in 1983 and intended to be a duet between him and Jackson on Anka's "Walk a Fine Line" album under the title "I Never Heard", but these plans fell through. Thereafter, Sa-Fire recorded the track for her album, "I Wasn't Born Yesterday" (1991). The duet version of the song was featured in Anka's 2013 "Duets" album. While putting together the "This Is It" album, Jackson's demo version of the song was found. His brothers' vocals and additional instrumentation were then added to the recording. Immediately after its release, Anka threatened legal action against Jackson's estate. The estate then agreed to give Anka 50% of the song's publishing rights.

Health and appearance of Michael Jackson Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer who spent over four decades in the public eye, first as a child star with The Jackson 5, and later as a solo artist, during which time he went through various image changes. Starting in the mid-1980s, it became clear that Jackson's appearance was changing dramatically. The shape of his face, particularly his nose, triggered widespread speculation of extensive cosmetic surgery. His skin tone became much lighter. Although Jackson, a black man, was diagnosed with the skin disorder vitiligo, which results in white patches on the skin, and said that he had not purposely bleached his skin but had used makeup to even out his skin tone, it was also widely suggested that his lighter skin tone was partly due to skin bleaching.
