“Break of Dawn” is a track from the final album Michael Jackson produced while alive, Invincible. Like much of the album, this track, which was not a commercial single, adopts a very relaxed tone, allowing the astonishing vocals of MJ to take centre stage. Dr. Freeze produced and composed the music, which has a primal, outdoorsy feel, and MJ wrote the lyrics, which keep in line with the predominant romantic theme of the album.
Despite not being a single (Jackson wanted it to be, but with the album underperforming and legal problems striking him again, the release was halted), it featured on his 2003 compilation Number Ones.
