Careless Whispers


"Careless Whisper" is a classic song by George Michael, performed in the original key of D minor. Released in 1984, this iconic track was written and composed by George Michael himself, along with his Wham! bandmate Andrew Ridgeley. The song was featured on their album "Make It Big" and became a massive hit worldwide, reaching the top of the charts in several countries. Interestingly, it was originally intended to be released as a Wham! song, but George Michael decided to keep it as his solo project. The alluring melody of "Careless Whisper" is instantly recognizable, with its memorable saxophone intro and soulful vocals by George Michael. The song's lyrics tell a tale of love, betrayal, and regret, contributing to its enduring popularity even decades after its release.
