Can't Let Her Get Away 🐵

""Can’t Let Her Get Away" is a song by Michael Jackson, from his eighth studio album Dangerous. It is the sixth track on the album. The song was written and produced by Jackson and Teddy Riley, and was recorded and mixed by Bruce Swedien and Riley in 1991. It interpolates musical ideas from the songs "Nasty", "Funky Drummer" and "South Bronx". The song was reportedly re- recorded in 1993 to promote the film The Meteor Man. It was also released as the album's promo single. The song is about a failing relationship between Michael and his lover. He does everything to satisfy his lover but to no avail, she breaks up with him. Michael is battling within himself throughout the song and he finally decides that he can’t let her get away. According to the producer of the track Teddy Riley: > “This was mostly from a sample CD that I just put together myself, and it > kind of reminded me of the James Brown sound. I could feel it. I thought I'd > bring a shadow of some of the greatness of the James Brown production sound > to this. I made the sample CD myself – that was me playing instruments, then > looping them up and having them lying around for potential projects. Back > then I just had them lying around and I hadn't used them… But I really > wanted to use them! Throughout the album I was drawing off a lot of CDs I > had hanging around, all played by myself. I'm a multi-instrumentalist." The song was part of the setlist in The Jacksons' 2012–13 Unity Tour.
