The reason why I chose the song "Every Breath You Take" for today's song of the day is that even though it is 41 years old, it is still listened to a lot, and it is on YouTube's weekly top songs chart. It is quite interesting but not surprising that this song is still listened to so much. I'll talk about why below.

The Police - Every Breath You Take

"Every Breath You Take" reached over 1 billion plays on Spotify in 2021, and its music video reached over 1 billion views on YouTube in 2022. It is truly amazing and quite interesting that this song, released in 1983, is still listened to. But what's even more interesting is that in 1983, Sting, the writer of the song "Every Breath You Take", said of the song: "I think it’s a nasty little song, really rather evil. It’s about jealousy and surveillance and ownership.". Sting's "nasty little song" became The Police's biggest hit. Additionally, "Every Breath You Take" features one of the most iconic guitar arpeggios of all time.

Additionally, not only is "Every Breath You Take" The Police's biggest hit, but the song's universal appeal is supported by science. In a study published by The Royal Society, researchers at Aarhus University in Denmark examined streaming data for more than 4 million tracks on Spotify to determine the most popular song genres at certain times of the day. Researchers found that we can divide song listening into five different time periods, and each block has different musical qualities. And according to the research, "Every Breath You Take" scored consistently at all hours, and researchers say they found "Every Breath You Take" to be the most universal, well-rounded song in pop history. So in short, "Every Breath You Take" is an excellent all-round song, according to scientific research. Therefore, it is not surprising that this song is listened to so much and is still loved.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

[Verse 2]
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

[Verse 3]
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

[Bridge]
Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying, baby, baby, please

[Middle-Eight]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

[Verse 4]
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

[Refrain]
Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

[Outro]
I'll be watching you
(Every breath you take)
(Every move you make)
(Every bond you break)
(Every step you take)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day)
(Every word you say)
(Every game you play)
(Every night you stay)
I'll be watching you
(Every move you make)
(Every vow you break)
(Every smile you fake)
(Every claim you stake)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day)
(Every word you say)
(Every game you play)
(Every night you stay)
I'll be watching you
(Every breath you take)
(Every move you make)
(Every bond you break)
(Every step you take)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day)
(Every word you say)
(Every game you play)
(Every night you stay)
I'll be watching you
(Every move you make)
(Every vow you break)
(Every smile you fake)
(Every claim you stake)
I'll be watching you
(Every single day)
(Every word you say)
(Every game you play)
(Every night you stay)
I'll be watching you
(Every move you make)
(Every bond you break)
(Every step you take)
I'll be watching you

I won! Fantastic! Count me in for another round, please!

That's interesting about the well-roundedness of the song. While I do like the song, I echo Sting's comment on it, as the jealousy, possessiveness, and surveillance is a bit of a turn off for me. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It's a great song although the message can be creepy if you really think about it. Also very interesting research.

I know it's a very catchy song, but as silly as it may seem in my head, I always associate it with that old commercial you used to see on TV. I guess the brand executives already suspected some of what you're telling us about the song. Count me in again 👍🏻 Thanks! @esbat.
