About the song
Sting wrote the song in 1980 and recorded various demo versions at Keystone Studios in Dublin, Ireland. There's a simple version with very little instrumentation and a basic percussion rhythm. Another demo version with drums by Paul McAteer was sent to Grace Jones, who released her own version of the song as a single in February 1981 way before The Police recorded the song for Ghost In The Machine.
Billboard magazine from August 28, 1993 mentions that Sting was recently working on his new version at Larrabee Sound Studios. He co-produced the song with Stoker, who also engineered on the SSL G Series console.
