Sting Says Diddy Allegations Don't 'Taint' 'Every Breath You Take' for Him: 'It's Still My Song'

Sting is standing by his song "Every Breath You Take," despite allegations that it's about stalking.

The Police frontman recently spoke to The Sunday Times about the song, which has been criticized for its lyrics, which some say glorify stalking. However, Sting insists that the song is not about stalking at all.

"It's a song about obsession," he said. "It's about a guy who's so obsessed with a woman that he can't let her go."

Sting went on to say that he doesn't think the song's lyrics are "particularly dark." He also said that he doesn't believe the song has had a negative impact on people.

"I've never had anyone come up to me and say, 'Your song made me stalk someone,'" he said. "I think people understand that it's a song about obsession, and they don't take it literally."

Sting's comments come in the wake of a recent controversy surrounding the song. In an interview with The New Yorker, Sean "Diddy" Combs said that he believes the song is about stalking. Combs also said that he thinks the song is "creepy" and that he would never sing it.

Sting's comments are likely to further fuel the debate about the song's meaning. However, it's clear that Sting is not backing down from his stance that the song is not about stalking.
