"Jackson and his long-time collaborator Brad Buxer were staying in adjoining hotel rooms at the time while working on music together. Buxer, who was going through a breakup at the time, was awake late one night. Upset about the breakup, he was pacing around his room repeating, “I’m a loser! I’m just a loser!” Before long Jackson, who could hear Buxer through the wall, knocked on his door and came in and asked, “What’s the problem?” - “Oh I’m a loser…” answered Buxer, before explaining his situation. “Let’s write a song about it,” suggested Jackson."
Yes this song is about Brad Buxer calling himself a loser after thinking he'd messed up a relationship with a girl he loved. But was angry it got leaked as a newer mix was made since then I think, called I Was A Loser.
The story behind the creation of this song is very heartwarming, Michael cared for Brad and tried his way to help, by expressing the emotions through music. It’s these gestures from him that make me love him even more.
"Whatcha Gonna Do"@@nihanth9145. Musician/producer that helped play keyboard for him during HIStory Tour, along with helping compose the Sonic tracks, which later became some of his newer songs like Jam or Stranger In Moscow
Exactly. They were at some hotel and Michael heard Brad through the wall in another room, since Brad was going through some problems with his partner at the time, he kept yelling "I'm a f*king loser" so MJ decided to do a song about it. Michael has said that many times he isn't singing about him or his experiences, he draws inspiration from other people's experiences too.
this man is the reason why I am alive today like his music will actually take you from the worst mental state of mind to being happy and considerate so when I have kids they will be raised on his music just thought I'd put that out there to let the haters know how impactful he is :)
This is why Michael was so loved in my book, he wasn’t afraid to sing his feelings. To us (the world at large) he was the king of pop & a genius but the fact that he felt this to write it, makes him more human & real
My favorite unreleased song...it’s so simple, it sounds like it was made in garage band, there’s something so..charming about the simplicity. It’s so beautiful ❤️
Michael never was a loser. He (the Humanitarian) showed continuous support, love/admiration, respect, mercy to all people (women, children, family, fans) if I'm not mistaken, even respected his enemies! People (speaking of enemies) rejected him, abused him, falsely accused him, never accepted him as a human being. Although he had trust issues with some to most people (understandable), he NEVER was a loser, still till this day in my heart, he's NEVER a loser
You laughed at me, you made me cry, you made a joke, then wonder why ( I am a loser, I am a loser... ) I say "Hello", you say "Goodbye". I reach to you, you don't even try ( I am a loser, I am a loser... ) If losing you makes me happy, then why does it make me cry? If losing youu makes you a winner, then how did our love ever die...? I'm born to lose, you know it's true and, here I stand; I'm losing you ( I am a loser, I am a loser... ) You are the one to let me know you needed me, now i have to go ( I am a loser... ) Alright... ( I am a loser... ) If losing you makes you happy, then why does it make me cry? Losing you makes me a winner, then how did our love ever die? Ever die? I am a fool, you know it's true, I belived in you, now you don't even try ( I am a loser... ) Alright... ( I am a loser... ) Ahh! What foolish kind of guy am i? You break my heart, i wonder why? ( I am a loser... ) Alright ( I am a loser... ) Alright... ( I am a loser... ) Baby ( I am a loser... ) Alright ( I am a loser... ) Baby ( I am a loser... ) Alright... ( I am a loser, i am a loser... ) Alright, alright ( I am a loser... ) One time, alright ( I am a loser... ) Let me win one time, alright ( I am a loser... ) Gotta win, gotta win. I can't lose this one time, please ( I am a loser... ) On my beggin' knees, on my beggin' knees ( I am a loser... ) Alright... ( I am a loser... ) ( Hee! Hee! ) I am a loser ( I am a loser... ) Baby, I am a loser ( I am a loser... ) Baby, I am a loser ( I am a loser... ) I am a loser ( I am a loser... ) I am a loser ( I am a loser... ) I am a loser ( I am a loser... ) Baby ( I am a loser... ) Baby, I am a loser ( I am a loser... ) Let me win one time ( I am a loser... ) Let me win one time ( I am a loser... ) Alright... ( I am a loser... ) Hee! ( I am a loser... ) Goodbye to you, goodbye to thee, goodbye to you ( I am a loser... ) Hello world, maybe tomorrow ( I am a loser... ) Maybe today, who know? Who win? ( I am a loser... )
This verse is kinda sad :( I'm born to lose, you know it's true and, here i stand; i'm losing you ( I am a loser, i am a loser... ) You are the one to let me know you needed me, now i have to go ( I am a loser... ) Alright... ( I am a loser... )

I feel like a loser without Mikey too!!! My heart is broken hearing this song yet, I can’t stop listening to this song over and over again!! Idk why! When I hear this song I wanna cry but, I am addicted to it!! I just feel like Michael was saying that he was the loser in the song!! I thought this song was a break up song for him!!
It's not a beat it him beat boxing, like he did in Stranger in Moscow, and Cry it's, similar because it's the sound of his voice but the pattern is different.
We are the losers because we lost you! We failed you. We should have kept you in the palm of our hands and protect and treasure you like the gift from the heavens you were! In the name of mankind: we‘re sorry 😔
Come può definirsi un " perdente " quest'uomo ha dedicato la sua FOTTUTISSIMA VITA ad AIUTARE Bambini e persone bisognose.. sei la mia più grande ISPIRAZIONE... sei solo un esempio! Ti amerò per sempre..
It's so sad that this song was unrelease because DAMN I want this on my iPhone right now! I use it for my music!! It's beautiful yet sad at the same time. We miss you MJ!! You are not a loser!! You gained SOOOOOOOOO many moonwalkers when you were alive and after you died including me!! You will never lose me as a fan baby!! I LOVE YOU BABY!!! I WILL LOVE YOU TO THE GRAVE!! Then once I come to Heaven I will want to sing all your songs with you and get your autograph and become your wife also!! LOVE YOU MJ!! MAY YOU REST IN PEACE MY LOVE!!!❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
I'm not a fan of modern music, this songs melody sounds very modernized but its Michael so how can i possibly turn it down!?! He is the greatest....definitely an underrated demo for sure, i try to think that when he sings this he's getting all his feelings off his chest with the allegations and stuff. His voice reminded me of the 80s Michael, he may have changed physically but he still had the same voice through the years. My favourite unreleased songs of his are Carousel and got the hots...i love streetwalker too. My favourite demos are say say say, the girl is mine and baby be mine...we are the world is another one. I like starlight, the early thriller demo...i absolutely adore someone in the dark, its the one song that if I'm feeling down and out it helps me to feel better in myself. This demo is a lost gem...💎💎🎤🎵
Thank you Sven 🙏 I can't believe I haven't seen this for 6 years it was here ! Another fan uploaded this song on UT yesterday but it's taken down, I fell in love with this song so I looked it up on UT and saw this and other uploads, I'm so happy I thought I lost this song forever, the lyrics are so simple and beautiful, I love everything about this song, I hope they will include this beautiful song on Thriller 40 album for all the other fans I'm sure will love it as much as I do,thank you again Sven, love and blessings ❤️🙏👑🤟✌️🦋🌻
As far as I know, I Am a Loser was first conceived more than a year after the release of Invincible in January 2003. Jackson and Brad Buxer were in hotel rooms in Las Vegas at the time they started working together on this song. Buxer, who was going through a breakup at the time, was up late at night. Upset about the breakup, he would pace around his room, repeating, “I'm a loser! I'm just a loser! Before long, Jackson, who could hear Buxer through the wall, knocked on his door, walked in, and asked, What's the matter? Oh, I'm a loser… Buxer replied, before explaining his situation. Let's write a song about it, suggested Jackson. And so Jackson and Buxer got to work, co-writing and composing the track I Am a Loser until the wee hours of the morning in an interview I saw michael prince says: We had our typical recording setup, explains ProTools, keyboard , a microphone set up with headphones the whole thing shaped itself.
HE WAS AND NEVER WILL BE A LOSER AND WHOEVER MADE HIM FEEL THAT WAY CAN ********* ***************** ************************ ******* ******* ********** ****** ********** ************* *********
CaptainGoofysstash I can see where you're coming from. But if you believe in the Michael Jackson/Sony conspiracy, you'd probably think otherwise. To each his own! :)
CaptainGoofysstash There's a whole conspiracy about Sony Music having something to do with Michael's death. Michael even went out and publicly exposed Sony Music back in the early 2000s. I recommend checking it out.
If you think about this tune it sounds just like Stranger In Moscow!! Just a little more upbeat and not as slow as Stranger In Moscow!! Thumbs up if you agree!!
