Breaking News Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jason Malachi]
Everybody wanting a piece of Michael Jackson
Reporters stalking the moves of Michael Jackson
Just when you thought he was done
He comes to give it again
They could print it around the world today
He want to write my obituary

[Pre-Chorus: Jason Malachi]
No matter what, you just want to read it again
No matter what, you just want to feel it again


[Chorus: Jason Malachi]
Why is it strange that I would fall in love?
Who is that boogieman you’re thinking of?
Or am I crazy cause I'm just in love
This is breaking news
This is breaking news

[Verse 2: Jason Malachi]
Everybody watching the news of Michael Jackson
They want to see that I fall cause I'm Michael Jackson
You write the words to destroy like it’s a weapon
You turned your back on a love and you can’t get it again

[Pre-Chorus: Jason Malachi]
No matter what, you just want to read it again
No matter what, you just want to feel it again
[Chorus: Jason Malachi]
Why is it strange that I would fall in love?
Who is that boogieman you’re thinking of?
Or am I crazy cause I'm just in love
This is breaking news
This is breaking news
Why is it strange that I would fall in love?
Who is that boogieman you’re thinking of?
Or am I crazy cause I'm just in love
This is breaking news
This is breaking news


[Bridge: Jason Malachi]
All the news today, they say we're crazy (celebrity)
And on the screen today, we're on display (baby)

[Chorus: Jason Malachi]
Why is it strange that I would fall in love?
Who is that boogieman you’re thinking of?
Or am I crazy cause I'm just in love
This is breaking news
This is breaking news
Why is it strange that I would fall in love?
Who is that boogieman you’re thinking of?
Or am I crazy cause I'm just in love?
This is breaking news
This is breaking news
[Outro: Jason Malachi]
You're breaking the news!

Genius Annotation

Breaking News is one of the most controversial songs by Michael Jackson, not only because of its seemingly self-centered lyrical content but the vocals themselves.

Along with eleven other songs purportedly recorded by Jackson in the Cascios' residence in 2007, its vocals have been questioned by Jackson’s family members and some of his fans as being that of an impersonator.

Many fans who have doubted the authenticity of these songs have attributed the vocals to Jason Malachi, with some vocals sampled from Jackson’s previous songs.
