SESSIONS
A Darkchild cut that didn't make the sixteen. ■Produced by ⌜Rodney Jerkins. It originated in the Invincible sessions and was excluded from the final album — the tracklist decision belongs to Phase II. Specific recording dates aren't documented in the research base; that gap is honest, not smoothed over. An earlier working title/draft, “Stop the War” (written by Jerkins and ⌜LaShawn Daniels, circa 1999), is documented as a footnote to this song rather than a separate vault item. ■

IT GETS OUT FIRST — AND THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR. ■This is the outlier of the whole drawer. It's not purely a vault item: it received an official release on The Ultimate Collection box set in 2004 — five years before Jackson's death, and a decade ahead of the 2014 Xscape wave that got the rest of these cuts out. Out earliest, and through an official channel — not a leak. It never entered the Phase IV reassessment pattern the others belong to. ■
