It was due for a 20 minute short film, but due to problems between Sony and Michael Jackson, it was cancelled. It was also supposed to be the first released single from the album, but “You Rock My World” was released instead.
“Unbreakable” features The Notorious B.I.G. for a rap segment of the song. Brandy Norwood also features throughout the song as backup vocals.
The song is basically about how, despite the problems in his life, Michael Jackson will never be broken by it and he won’t go down without a fight. When asked about his message in the song, he says “That I’m invincible, that I’ve been through it all. You can’t hurt me. Knock me down, I get back up.”
Unbreakable
Michael Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why you think that you can get to me with anything
Seems like you'd know by now
When and how I get down
And with all that I've been through
I'm still around
Don't you ever make no mistake
And there's no way you'll ever get to me (come on)
Why can't you see that you'll never ever hurt me?
'Cause I won't let it be, see I'm too much for you baby
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable
Now you can't stop me even thought you think
That if you block me, you've done your thing
And when you bury me underneath all your pain
I'm steady laughing, while surfacing
Don't you ever make no mistake
Baby I've got what it takes (yeah)
And there's no way you'll ever get to me
Why can't you see that you'll never ever hurt me?
'Cause I won't let it be, see I'm too much for you baby (I'm too much for you baby)
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable (you can't break me)
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable (you can't touch me)
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it (yeah)
You'll never break me
You can't let it break, 'cause I'm unbreakable
You can try to stop me, but it won't do a thing
No matter what you do, I'm still gonna be here
Through all your lies and silly games
I'ma still remain the same, I'm (uh) unbreakable (uh, what? uh)
A lime to a lemon, my D.C. women
Bringing in 10 G minimums to condos with elevators in 'em
Vehicles with televisions in 'em
Watch they entourage turn yours to just mirages
Disappearing acts, strictly .9's and MAC's
Killers be serial, Copperfield material
My dreams is vivid, work hard to live it
Any place I visit, I got land there
How can players stand there and say I sound like them? Hello?
Push wigs back and push six Coupes that's yellow
Plus clips that expand from hand to elbow
Spray up your Day's Inn, any telly you in
Crack bragging, sick of bragging how my mink be dragging
Desert Eag's, street sweeper inside the Beamer wagon
I rely on Bed-Stuy to shut it down if I die
Put that on my diamond bezel, you're messing with the devil
What
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it (yeah)
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable (untouchable)
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it (yeah)
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable (I'm unbreakable)
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it (you, you, you, you, you)
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it (woo)
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable (I'm unbreakable)
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it
You'll never break me
You can't touch me, you can't break me
You can't stand it, babe, 'cause I'm unbreakable (woo)

Michael Jackson's song "Unbreakable" is a powerful anthem of strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The lyrics convey Jackson's defiance against those who try to bring him down with their words and actions. He questions why anyone would think they could get to him with anything and asserts that he knows how to handle himself, having gone through a lot already but still remaining standing. Jackson sends a clear message that he won't allow anyone to hurt him, claiming that he is too much for them, and that he is unbreakable.
The chorus repeats the phrase "you can't touch me 'cause I'm untouchable" several times, emphasizing the idea that he is beyond the reach of those who try to harm him. He acknowledges that they hate it and can't take it, but they will never break him because he is unbreakable. This message is reinforced in the second half of the song when rapper The Notorious B.I.G. joins in, boasting about his own success and material wealth. He implies that he is willing to do whatever it takes to maintain control over his life, including resorting to violence if necessary. Together, Jackson and The Notorious B.I.G. create an unapologetic and empowering anthem that encourages listeners to stand strong and be unbreakable in the face of adversity.

Dancer
And producer.
Michael jackson is such of good person he is innocent heavenly rare and just amazing in general I can't even see my self being related OR even a close friend. Without doubt Michael Jackson went to heaven. I think the signs of him going to heaven when he passes were the fact that people only called him MICHAEL JACKSON and WHEN HE STARTED MAKING HIS OWN DANCES THAT WENT VIRAL.
