🎵 The Love Song That Was Never About Love | A Closer Listen 🎵

You’ve heard it at weddings. You’ve seen it on mixtapes. But what if "Every Breath You Take" isn’t the love song everyone thinks it is? In this episode of A Closer Listen, we explore the story behind one of the most misunderstood hits of the 1980s.

From its creation during the bitter breakup between Sting and his first wife Frances Tomelty, to its chilling lyrics of obsession and control, this song was never meant to be romantic. Even Sting has called it “sinister” and “evil.” And yet, it’s become one of the most popular wedding songs of all time. How did that happen?

We’ll break down the song’s meaning, its stark black-and-white music video, the cultural misreadings over the years, and how later covers, including Puff Daddy’s tribute, reshaped its legacy.
