BTS records Michael Jackson's unreleased 2006 song for tribute album: Here's everything we know so far
What is BTS' contribution to Michael Jackson's unreleased art?
Said to have been written in 2006 with some of the best names in town, and meant for release in what would be the icon's next album, these tracks have been in the archives for close to 2 decades. Penned in a converted cow shed at Grouse Lodge, Ireland, the songs were meant to be his next major comeback, but they never got to see the light of day. Grouse Lodge studio owner Paddy Dunning spoke in an interview about the fate of this record, which was previously rumored to be a part of a tribute album. Now, 'global superstars' are being roped in to record these songs, and who better than the hottest name in musical land, BTS.
'The sessions started last year, and we have already had the Korean boy band BTS over with us in Grouse Lodge, recording one of the songs,' he revealed. Speaking about the other artists rumored to be on the project, without giving too much away, he added, 'There are about ten more tracks, written especially for Michael by his collaborators here in Ireland, including producer Rodney Jerkins and rapper Nephew, who are fully on board with the project.'
Meanwhile, the BTS members have been working on their own comeback album, eyeing a spring 2026 release. With teamwork going down in Los Angeles, as the singers fly between South Korea and the United States, fans wait eagerly for any updates. So far, the group has not commented on their work on Michael Jackson's music.

Farah Saw Arjun Kapoor's Talent On Salman Khan's Film Set: ‘Itna Mota Tha, Free Mein Aa Gaya'
Farah Khan shares how she first saw Arjun Kapoor's star potential during a Maldives shoot, with Arjun revealing his early dream to act and love for Michael Jackson. Farah Khan, celebrated choreographer and director of hits like Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om, and Tees Maar Khan, recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane in her latest YouTube vlog. The filmmaker recalled the exact moment she realised Arjun Kapoor could become an actor — a memory dating back to the shooting of Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya in the Maldives. 'The day I realised that Arjun can become an actor, can become a star… we had gone to the Maldives to shoot for Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya. Tab yeh itna motu tha, pata nahi aise hi aa gaya tha free mein, with Varun and all… Of course, there used to be a party every night after the shoot, everyone would get together… and suddenly he started dancing. We were all like, what the hell, Fubu!" Farah recalled, using Arjun's nickname. According to her, the lively and impromptu dance moves revealed a spark that hinted at Arjun's future in acting. Arjun Kapoor on His Early Dream and MJ Inspiration Reacting to Farah's anecdote, Arjun Kapoor admitted that even back then, he was drawn towards acting. 'I actually did think back then that I wanted to become an actor. I was a huge Michael Jackson fan growing up," he said. His love for performance and admiration for the King of Pop further fuelled his desire to work in films. While the Maldives memory brought smiles, it also highlighted how early encouragement and recognition can shape an actor's journey. What the Kapoor Siblings Are Doing Now Arjun Kapoor was last seen in Mere Husband Ki Biwi alongside Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar. Known for his versatile roles, Arjun continues to experiment with genres in Bollywood. Meanwhile, his sister Anshula Kapoor, who has carved her own niche outside acting, recently appeared on Karan Johar's reality series Traitors. Farah's vlogs, known for their candid moments with celebrities, often reveal behind-the-scenes stories fans rarely get to hear. This Maldives memory not only gave a glimpse of Arjun's early days but also showcased Farah's knack for spotting talent — whether in the dance studio, on a film set, or even at an impromptu party.
