The story behind the song

"Stars" by Simply Red channels the ache of a love that's left a deep wound, a feeling of being hurt by someone you thought only about. It speaks to the pain of jealousy and the attempt to hide it, while the memory of how much they hurt you lingers. This wistful, dreamy ballad, written by Mick Hucknall, became a top 10 hit for the band from their best-selling 1991 album of the same name. It plays like a heartfelt plea for understanding in the aftermath of a broken connection.
