Paris Jackson recalls 'magical' childhood in Ireland

Paris Jackson has shared fond memories of her childhood spent in Ireland with her brothers and father Michael. Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music about her new music, Paris recalled the magical time she had with her family. At the age of eight, they would go on adventures through a haunted forest, surrounded by towering mushrooms and ferns.

Exploring the family's cottage and discovering a vintage bagpipes case in the attic were highlights of her Irish childhood. Ireland was, according to Paris, probably her favorite place she ever lived as a child, filled with the best memories. The Jacksons spent several months in Ireland in 2006, including a stay at Grouse Lodge recording studios in County Westmeath.

It was during this time that Michael worked on new music while living there with Paris and her brothers Prince and Bigi. Paris's experiences in Ireland inspired her music, including the incorporation of bagpipes into her song "The Breeze." The Breeze was released alongside "Just Me and You" on what would have been Michael Jackson's 68th birthday. Paris mentioned that her brothers had approved of the finished music, which brought her great joy.
