Jackson co-wrote charity song We are the World in 1985
Michael Jackson has written a song for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, his spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

She said he hoped to record the track - tentatively titled From the Bottom of My Heart - with other artists and release it as a charity single.

In a statement Jackson said he would be "reaching out to others in the music industry to bring relief and hope".

"It pains me to watch the human suffering taking place in the Gulf region of my country," he said.

Jackson has been in the Middle East since his acquittal on child molestation charges in June.

However, spokeswoman Raymone Bain said he would return to the US to work on the single.

Jackson wrote We are the World with Lionel Richie in 1985 to raise money for African famine relief.
