Like other tracks on Synchronicity, such as “Every Breath You Take” and “King of Pain,” “Wrapped Around Your Finger” was a personal song for Sting. Every Breath You Take’, ‘Wrapped Around Your Finger’ were all about my life. Sting described “Wrapped Around Your Finger” as “a spiteful song about turning the tables on someone who had been in charge.
This song is vaguely alchemical and probably about a friend of mine, a professional psychic and my tutor in tarot, with bits of Doctor Faustus and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice thrown into the pot for good measure. Wrapped Around Your Finger” was released as the follow-up to the worldwide hit “Every Breath You Take. The British picture sleeve for “Wrapped Around Your Finger” was released in three colour variations: blue, red, and yellow. The single was also released on a picture disc, each featuring the face of Sting, Andy Summers, or Stewart Copeland.
The B-side of the song in Britain, “Someone to Talk To,” was written by guitarist Andy Summers. Sting refused to provide vocals, leaving Summers to sing. Summers expressed disappointment at this, saying, “Maybe I had just split up from my wife. It was a nice thing I had on the guitar and I was disappointed that Sting wouldn’t sing it. That would have given it more of an official stamp. The music on the recording of the video was played fast and the “singing” was mimed fast. When the music was slowed down to normal speed, the members of the band appear to be moving in slow motion.
I got very excited because I realised that they really understood the imagistic approach I wanted. Andy Summers, however, was critical of Sting’s overacting in the video. I never much liked the idea for “Wrapped Around Your Finger. No, I was kind of pissed off about that one.
