Song by Michael Jackson

"Fall Again" Song by Michael Jackson from the album The Ultimate Collection Released November 16, 2004 (2004-11-16) Recorded 1999 Genre R&B soul jazz Length 4:23 Label Epic Songwriters Walter Afanasieff Robin Thicke Producers Walter Afanasieff Robin Thicke

"**Fall Again**" is a song written for [Michael Jackson](/source/Michael_Jackson) by [Walter Afanasieff](/source/Walter_Afanasieff) and [Robin Thicke](/source/Robin_Thicke) with some lyrics written by Jackson. He recorded his demo of the song in 1999. Songwriter Afanasieff confirmed in January 2000, "We worked to the point that we were three-fourths of the way finished, then the incident happened when his son (Prince) got very sick. We’re going to have to reserve a little spot to finish the song."[1] The demo was later released on November 16, 2004, as an album track of Jackson's limited edition box set *[The Ultimate Collection](/source/The_Ultimate_Collection_(Michael_Jackson_album))*.[2] In 2010, a version by [Kenny G](/source/Kenny_G) with [Robin Thicke](/source/Robin_Thicke) on vocals became a hit. The song has been performed by many artists. Jackson recorded a demo of the song in 1999 during the sessions for his album *[Invincible](/source/Invincible_(Michael_Jackson_album))*, but the song was never finished.

## Glenn Lewis version

Canadian R&B artist [Glenn Lewis](/source/Glenn_Lewis) recorded the song for *[Maid in Manhattan](/source/Maid_in_Manhattan)*, a film released on December 10, 2002 starring [Jennifer Lopez](/source/Jennifer_Lopez) and [Ralph Fiennes](/source/Ralph_Fiennes).[3] He makes an appearance in the film performing the song at a charity gala. Soulful and reminiscent of traditional R&B, the song received 5 out of 5 stars on Amazon Music. This version was also featured on a 2003 [Universal Music](/source/Universal_Music) [compilation album](/source/Compilation_album) titled *Smooth Jazz Cafe 5*.[4]

## Kenny G version

American [smooth jazz](/source/Smooth_jazz) saxophonist Kenny G recorded the song for the album *[Heart and Soul](/source/Heart_and_Soul_(Kenny_G_album))*, which was released on June 29, 2010.[5] Unlike most of Kenny G's jazz numbers, "Fall Again" is an R&B [ballad](/source/Sentimental_ballad). Kenny G plays the saxophone with Thicke on vocals. Kenny G said, "His (Robin Thicke's) voice is so emotional and soulful, the combination of his voice and my saxophone really hits the perfect tones for my new album."[5] Mark Edward Nero of [About.com](/source/About.com) mentioned Kenny G "is a jazz saxophonist, not an R&B singer. But K.G. has a new, R&B-inspired album", and "Robin Thicke is featured on the first single, 'Fall Again'."[6]

Also released as a single, it debuted at number 30 on the *Billboard* Jazz Songs chart on June 19, 2010, and peaked at number six on September 11, 2010.[7]
