"'Why'" is a song by American R&B group 3T featuring Michael Jackson. It was written by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Jackson, who also produced it. The song was released as the fourth single from the group's debut album, 'Brotherhood' (1995). It was originally selected to be part of Jackson's ninth studio album 'HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I' (1995), but it was taken out and Jackson decided to give it away to his nephews. "Why" was well received on European and Asian music charts.
Critical reception
British magazine 'Music Week' rated the song five out of five, adding, "This smoochy soul ballad bringing together the family is a dead cert for the top three, with the older Jackson's vocals making it possible number one material."
Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single. It features 3T and Jackson and is shot in black and white. The music video was released on the Michael Jackson's box set, 'Michael Jackson's Vision'.
