Every Breath You Take / I'll be Missing You






“Every Breath You Take” is one of the most misinterpreted songs ever. It is about an obsessive stalker, but it sounds like a love song. Some people even used it as their wedding song. Sting wrote it after separating from his first wife, Frances Tomelty. 

P. Diddy didn't sort out the legal issues for this cover and Sting didn't know about the sample until after the song was released. But, eventually, he ended up getting permission from Sting.“I'll be missing you” is a tribute to Notorious B.I.G., a rapper and good friend of P. Diddy who was shot to death while both were riding together. Sting and P.Diddy performed together on MTV Video Music Awards 1997.
