She’s Out Of My Life – The Song

She’s Out Of My Life is a song written by American songwriter Tom Bahler and performed by American singer Michael Jackson. The song was released as the fourth single from Jackson’s 1979 album Off the Wall released on April 19, 1980. Unlike the album’s previous singles, which were all uptempo dance-oriented funk and disco songs, “She’s Out of My Life” was an emotional ballad. The song has a tempo of 66 beats per minute, making it one of Jackson’s slowest songs. The song is about a painful breakup. It has been claimed that Bahler wrote the song about Karen Carpenter, whom Bahler had briefly dated. However, he has stated, “The fact is, I had already written that song by the time Karen and I became romantic. That song was written more about Rhonda Rivera… Rhonda and I had been together for two years, and it was after we broke up that I started dating Karen.” The song. In Jackson’s autobiography, Moonwalk, he wrote that the song is about knowing that barriers separating him from others are seemingly easy to overcome, yet they cause him to miss out on what he really desires. He said that he cried from the sudden effect of the words because “I had been letting so much build up inside me.” Particularly it reminded him of his feeling of being “so rich in some experiences while being poor in moments of true joy.” He worried about this feeling showing up on the song, but also felt “if it touched people’s heartstrings, knowing that would make me feel less lonely.” Given the popular response to his emotional rendition, the song remained in Jackson’s live set for many years.
