Listen to Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake's 'Love Never Felt So Good'

It's been almost five years since Michael Jackson's death, but the recording industry continues to track down and dress up old, previously unreleased tracks for mass consumption. The first cut from Jackson's second posthumous album, "Love Never Felt So Good," is finally available — and fans will be relieved to hear the King of Pop in top form:

"Love Never Felt So Good" was cobbled together from an unreleased track Jackson co-wrote with Paul Anka in 1983. (Rolling Stone tracked down the original demo for the song, which was recorded in the mid-80s.) The modern version of the track adjusts the instrumental mix and adds a set of new vocals from Justin Timberlake, but anyone who'd rather listen to the song without Timberlake's inevitable "let me break it down" can listen to a Jackson-only version here.

Xscape, which includes seven other unreleased songs by Jackson, will debut on May 13.
