Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber Collaboration, 'Slave to the Rhythm' Gets Remix from 'Baby' Singer? Track Leaks on YouTube, New Song 2013 Remains Mystery [LISTEN]

On the same day that Justin Bieber posted that he's working on new music with rapper Future, it seems as though a new song from the "Baby" singer has hit the Internet. "Slave to the Rhythm," originally by the late, legendary Michael Jackson has apparently gotten some added verses from Bieber in a new remix that popped up on YouTube today (Aug. 16).

According to Beliebers on Twitter, Bieber apparently purchased the rights to the song after Jackson's death, in order to make the collaboration.

Jackson's original version of "Slave to the Rhythm" first leaked in late 2010, according to a message board on michaeljackson.com. The lyrics between the two remain the same. However, the Bieber remix features a heavier dance beat and the two pop stars trade of verses practically seamlessly.

Listen to the apparent Michael Jackson song, featuring Justin Bieber "Slave to the Rhythm" below.

(It must be noted that as of press time, it has not been confirmed that this is an official or legitimate release in any means or that it is even Bieber on the remix.)

Bieber was discussing Jackson on his Twitter shortly after "Slave to the Rhythm," making it seem like the remix may be legitimate. It's no secret that Jackson is a big influence on Bieber, and the two both experienced great success early on in their life making upbeat pop music with massive fanbases.

"Excited for what is to come. MJ set the bar. Not only for music but for being an entertainer and how u treat the fans. Wish he was here..." Bieber wrote. "All of it is not always easy but it is a blessing. We can change the world. I'm up for the challenge. Big things ahead! #greatness. love you."
