Chicago는 US 싱어송라이터 마이클 잭슨(Michael Jackson, 19580829 ~ 20090625)이 2014년 발표한 사후 앨범 <Xscape>에 수록한 곡으로 US 26위, R&B 9위, 캐나다 38위 등을 기록했다. 이 곡이 100위권에 진입하면서 마이클은 빌보드 역사상 최초로, 신곡(차트 미진입곡)으로만 1970년대부터 2020년대까지 차트에 오른 유일한 아티스트가 되었다. 처음에는 반응이 없었으나 앤트완 퓨콰 (Antoine Fuqua) 감독의 2026년 영화 <마이클(Michael)>과 애니메이션 <birds for some reason>에 사용되면서 인기를 얻었다.
마이클과 코리 루니(Cory Rooney)가 만들고 팀발랜드(Timbaland), 제이록(Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon)이 프로듀서를 맡았다. 원제목은 "She Was Lovin' Me"였고 1999년 처음 녹음하고 <Invincible> 앨범에 넣으려 했으나 최종적으로 채택되지 않았고 팀발랜드의 주도로 다시 작업한 후에 <Xscape>에서 첫 싱글로 내려고도 했으나 Love Never Felt So Good에 밀렸다.
가사는 남편이 있다는 걸 숨긴 여자와 사귀었다가, 알고나서 배신감, 억울함을 느낀다는 내용인 것 같다.
