    Song information

    The song concludes with a brief, self-mocking reference to Sting`s biggest hit song with The Police, "Every Breath You Take". "At the end I sing, `Every cake you bake, every leg you break`. I quite like using the songs as a modular system where you can mix and match lines from different songs. It`s a tradition now".[2]

    Reception

    Cash Box said that "the lilting rhythmic push and tropical melodic line...recalls Police-like efforts, but Branford Marsalis’ soprano sax coloring and the overall blending of instruments make this another appealing Sting solo success."[3] Billboard said that it integrates "reggae influence" with "jazz chops."[4]

    Music video

    The music video portrays Sting as a primary school teacher (his day job prior to pursuing a music career), who performs amidst his students` artwork.

    The artwork was supplied by students at Latchmere Junior School, Kingston-upon-Thames, in the United Kingdom.

    Single release

    The single contains a different mix of the song from the album. It also features a live version of "Consider Me Gone", which was recorded at the Mogador Theatre in Paris in May 1985.
