In a press release from Sony Music Entertainment, a new Michael Jackson song “This Is It” will be released as a single on October 12. The song shares the same title of his This Is It concert comeback tour that Michael Jackson was rehearsing before his death.

Two versions of the This Is It song, which will include backup vocals by Michael Jackson’s brothers, will be featured on a new “This Is It” two-disc cd set. The album will include previously released songs as well as unreleased versions of those same hit songs, plus a never heard before touching spoken-word poem recited by Michael Jackson called “Planet Earth”. The cd set will debut internationally on October 26 and in the US on October 27.
