You Are Not Alone


"You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson is a song played in the key of C major. Released in 1995, it was the second single from Jackson's ninth studio album, "HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I". The song was written by R. Kelly, who also produced it. Notably, it was the first song ever to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The melody of "You Are Not Alone" is characterized by soothing and emotional vocals accompanied by a blend of pop and R&B sounds.
