About Xscape - Commentary by LA Reid

One night I was in the office, really late at night
And I was struggling with the title of the album
And I talked to my partner, Babyface, right?
And he said, "You don't have a right to title this album
Michael has to title this album"
And I was like, "Okay, that's really heavy, how's that gonna happen?"
He said, "Just listen to him"

And so I went back, and I just listened to talking parts of Michael
And Michael said, "It's about escapism, it's about adventure"
And I was like, "Whoa-whoa-whoa, run that back"
And that was it
'Cause there happened to be a song called "Escape", and Michael said it
And I was like, "Okay, there it is"
And then all the pieces came together
