Background
"You Rock My World" was recorded by Michael Jackson for his studio album, Invincible (2001). The song was written and composed by Michael Jackson, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Fred Jerkins III, LaShawn Daniels and Nora Payne, and produced by Jackson and Jerkins. "You Rock My World" was officially released as the lead single from the album in late August 2001, by Epic Records. Prior to the singles official release it had been leaked to two New York radio stations on Friday, August 17. Immediately after the songs radio airplay the radio stations had received "a herd of callers asking for more." "You Rock My World" was first played on the WJTM-FM station at 6 p.m., with WKTU-FM airing the song 45 minutes later. Both stations had played the single every two hours until around 6 p.m. Saturday, when Jackson's record label, Epic Records, called the program director for both stations, Frankie Blue, and asked him to stop. " informed me of the dangers of playing a song too early," Blue said on Wednesday, August 22. " said, 'Please do me a favor and take it off the air.'" Blue, a friend of Jackson's, stated that he would not say how he got the single.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
