很喜欢这首歌~~旋律很有层次感~~
MJ的真假音交错令人仿佛坠入了一个宇宙异元空间一样~~
一层接着一层地往内部坠入~~
每层的风景都不一样~~（不知道有没有亲能理解。。。）
又或者像是品味千层糕一样层层不同的享受~~
下面歌曲的创作背景转自Wikipedia~~ 以后有空再翻译~~（已翻译~~）
"Butterflies" was recorded by Michael Jackson in 2001 for his tenth, and final, studio album, Invincible, which was released the same year.The song was written by Andre Harris and Marsha Ambrosius, who is one half of the London bred neo-soul act Floetry, and was produced by Jackson and Harris.Jackson had first met Ambrosius and Natalie Stewart, who is also a member of Floetry, through John McClain, who is DreamWorks's senior urban executive and Jackson's manager. Stewart said she was surprised that Jackson invited her and Ambrosius to a studio and asked for their input on the recording of the track.She recalled in an interview with LAUNCH magazine, "It was incredible because he asked, he continually asked, 'Marsh, what's the next harmony? Girls, does this sound right? What do you think? Is this what you were looking for? He was so open"..
When Ambrosius first met Jackson, it took a few minutes to calm down.She recalled to the same publication Stewart was interviewed by, "To begin with, I was kinda shook. Because you don't realize how you're going to feel until you're put in that kind of situation. I had the tears in my eyes and got kinda nervous. But as I got into it, I realized it was work, it was a job. I had to vocally conduct a legend."Harris commented on the single, "He's showing you, I'm still the Michael Jackson that did 'Billie Jean' and 'Rock With You' because 'Butterflies' really falls along those lines." The song has been said to be Jackson's favorite track from the Invincible album.Unlike the previous single released from Invincible, a music video was not released to promote the song, although in 2002, the Los Angeles Times reported that Jackson had "never responded" to a video concept that was pitched by Sony Music Entertainment for "Butterflies". There is a remix for the song featuring rapper Eve.
"Butterflies" is a midtempo love ballad song with groove musical influences. The track is cited as having pop, R&B, and adult contemporary musical styles. Vaughn Watson of the Providence Journal noted that the track is a "velvety old-school soul ballad" with "elegiac horn riffs" and "simple '70s-style David Ruffin soul." Stephen Thomas Erlewine, a writer for Allmusic noted that "Butterflies" had "Bacharach-styled horns." Lonell Broadnax, Jr., a contributing writer to the Daily Helmsman Online felt that "Butterflies" is a soulful song which takes Jackson back to his "rhythm and blues roots". Ben Rayer of the Toronto Star felt that the song had a "oozy slow jam"."Butterflies" is written in the time signature of common time. Throughout the song Jackson's vocal range spans from E♭4 to E♭6.The track is played in the key of A♭ major."Butterflies" has a moderately slowly tempo and its metronome is ninety-two beats per minute. Lyrically, "Butterflies" describes the feeling of being in love.
“蝴蝶”录于2001年，是由迈克尔杰克逊为他的第十张，也是最后一张录音室专辑——《天下无敌》制作的。这张专辑于同年发表。这首歌由Andre Harris 和Marsha Ambrosius共同写成，由杰克逊和Harris.Jackson一起制作。MJ首先通过梦工厂的高级城市行政John McClain和杰克逊的经纪人认识Ambrosius 和 Natalie Stewart（梦工场唱片成员），Stewart说令她感到惊讶的是杰克逊邀请她和Ambrosius一起参观他的工作室，并让她们参加录音制作（她有参与背景音乐部分与MJ的和声）。Stewart在接受LAUNCH杂志采访时回忆说，“这真是不可思议，因为MJ问，他不断地问，'Marsh，什下一个和声是什么？女孩们，这样听起来好吗？你觉得呢？这是你们要找的吗？他对于不同意见是如此地开放”.. 。
Ambrosius第一次见到杰克逊时，花了几分钟时间先冷静下.她在与Stewart所接受的同一刊物的采访中回忆道，“首先，我有点儿发抖。因为你不知道你如何去感受，直到你亲临那种情况。我紧张得泪水都在眼眶里打转。但当我进去了，我意识到这是工作，这是一份工作。我不得不用自己的嗓音创造一个传奇。”Harris对于这一单曲评论说：“他在告诉你，我仍然是那个创作了'Billie Jean' 和 'Rock With You' 的迈克尔杰克逊。因为 'Butterflies' 的水准与那些一致，”这首歌曲据说是MJ在《天下无敌》专辑中最喜爱的一首歌。但这首歌不像《You ROCK MY WORLD》那样有MV宣传。虽然在2002年，洛杉矶时报报道，杰克逊已经“再也不回应”索尼公司提出的有关MV的概念，但这首歌有rapper Eve的混音版本。
“蝴蝶”是一首及其悦耳动听的中摇爱情歌曲。这首歌被称作集流行，R＆B和当代成人音乐风格于一体。普罗维登斯日报的Vaughn Watson 指出，‘蝴蝶’是一首融合了“天鹅绒般的怀旧的灵魂民谣”、“挽歌角即兴演奏”和“70年代风格的大卫鲁芬灵魂简单风格”的歌曲。”Allmusic的作家Stephen Thomas Erlewine指出，“蝴蝶”有“巴哈拉赫式”风格。”Daily Helmsman Online 的作家Lonell Broadnax, Jr.认为，“蝴蝶”是一首把杰克逊带回到了他的“富有节奏感的蓝调音乐时代”的一首充满深情的歌曲。Toronto Star的 Ben Rayer认为，歌曲有“如同让人陷入软泥一般的慢摇即兴演奏”。“蝴蝶”一开始是四分之四拍。在整个歌曲杰克逊的音域跨度从E♭4达到了E♭6，这首歌的主旋律是A♭。“蝴蝶”有一个温和缓慢的节奏，他的节拍是每分钟92拍。在歌词上，“蝴蝶”则诗情画意地描述了在沐浴在爱河中的感觉~~
