The Police - Every Breath You Take

"Every Breath You Take" by The Police, released in 1983, is one of the most iconic songs of the '80s. Though it’s often perceived as a romantic song, its lyrics actually convey a darker side, speaking to themes of obsession and surveillance. Written by Sting during a turbulent period, the song captures a sense of longing and control with lines like, "Every move you make, I'll be watching you." The haunting melody and steady rhythm give it a hypnotic quality, and its complex mix of emotions resonated worldwide, making it one of The Police’s biggest hits and an enduring classic.
