The first MJ album that I really got into was Dangerous. In middle school, I used to listen to that album over and over again. I knew (and still know) every song and every word. I personally think it's the best out of Michael's four classic albums (Off the Wall, Thriller, Bad, and Dangerous).
Song 12 on the album is called "Keep the Faith." It has some typical MJ characteristics in it - catchy chorus, MJ's pop vocals, and a heartfelt message - but it's something you really never expected from him at the same time. The song is basically an anthem for perseverance and having faith in your ability to be successful in whatever you choose. A choir sings the backup vocals in the song, too, something that's extremely rare for a Michael Jackson song. But it's Michael's own version of a gospel song, and it works.
Take a listen here. It's one of those songs that has a funny way of picking you up when you're feeling down.
