Michael Jackson’s new single “This Is It” began streaming on the late singer’s Web site and hitting radio airwaves Monday at midnight, nearly four months after the King of Pop died on June 25 at age 50.
The upbeat R&B track features vocal backup by Jackson’s brothers and the lyrics “This is it, here I stand/I’m the light of the world, I feel grand.”
The two-disc album This Is It will be available in the U.S. on Oct. 27, the day before the release of the Michael Jackson documentary This Is It on Oct. 28.

2009 MTV video awards highlights and moments that made the night.
Repeat host Russell Brand goes from overly offensive to utterly boring.
Janet Jackson pays a moving tribute to her brother.
Lady Gaga gets gory on stage
Eminem and Tracy Morgan team up for a much needed shot of hilarity
Kanye West steals the mike…and Taylor Swift’s thunder – The event of the night went like this: As per usual, Taylor Swift was shocked, humble and gracious during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video saying she had “always dreamed” of what it would be like to win a moonman. Unfortunately, West was equally shocked and grabbed the mike to declare his vote for Beyonce. There were no winners here as Swift looked ready to cry, Beyonce looked horribly embarrassed and West looked like a big fat jerk. Making the moment even worse was that producers cut Swift off from finishing her speech once West left the stage.
Beyoncé keeps it classy
In the end, Kanye West went home happy as Beyoncé took the award for video of the year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).” However, it was Beyoncé who stole the show this time around by inviting Taylor Swift onto the stage to belatedly finish her West-captured acceptance speech.
