Careless Whisper: What’s The Story Behind This Song By Wham

The music video is “basically a glamorous version of something that happened to me,” Michael said. In an interview back in 2009, he shared that the impact of the song on a lot of people surprised him. “Is it because so many people have cheated on their partners? Is that why they connect with it? I have no idea, but it’s ironic that this song – which has come to define me in some way – should have been written right at the beginning of my career when I was still so young,” he said.
