  • "You Are Not Alone" features "angel scenes".
  • "Earth Song" includes sound effects, such as the chainsaw, as well as a message at the end, describing the shooting of the film.
  • After "Stranger in Moscow", a track entitled "MJ Megaremix" (10:36) was released only on the earliest VHS, Laserdisc, and VCD pressings of this collection. It was removed from the DVD format for unspecified reasons.
