“You Are Not Alone“, released in August 1995, is the second single from Michael Jackson’s album HIStory. The song was the singer’s final Number 1 single of his career. The R&B ballad was officially written by R. Kelly in response to difficult times in his personal life. He then forwarded a bare demo tape to Jackson, who liked the song and decided to co-produce it with Kelly. Jackson’s interest in the song was also linked to recent event’s in his personal life; highly publicized allegations of child sexual abuse and his recent marriage to Lisa Marie Presley.
The vast majority of critical reaction to “You Are Not Alone” was positive, although it did not attain unanimous praise. The song was the recipient of Grammy and American Music Award nominations. The corresponding music video, which featured Jackson and his wife was also notable for its scenes of semi nudity.
Commercially, the song was a significant success. It holds a Guinness World Record as the first song in the 37 year history of the Billboard Hot 100 to debut at number one; it was later certified platinum by the RIAA.
Michael Jackson - You are not alone official music video and lyrics

You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
