It’s pretty much exactly like that song by The Police, ‘Every Breath You Take’, which everyone thought was super-romantic but was actually about someone being creeped on.

In an interview with The Huffington Post, Blunt really wanted to clear the matter up.

“Everyone goes, ‘Ah, he’s so romantic. I want ‘You’re Beautiful’ as my wedding song.’ These people are fucked up,” said Blunt, bluntly (ok, that was The Huff, but we couldn’t not include the pun).

Blunt also acknowledged how the song got overplayed: “Too much of a good thing turns into a bad thing eventually, and it got a lot of airplay, and it doesn’t take much to work out that kind of thing. I love hamburgers, but if you give me a hamburger for every meal I’m gonna tire of it,” he said. “Is it an annoying song? No, it’s not, unless it’s shoved down your fucking throat a shitload.”

He continued: “You get labeled with these things like, ‘Oh, James Blunt. Isn’t he just a soft romantic?’ Well, fuck that. No, I’m not.

“‘You’re Beautiful’ is not this soft romantic fucking song. It’s about a guy who’s high as a fucking kite on drugs in the subway stalking someone else’s girlfriend when that guy is there in front of him, and he should be locked up or put in prison for being some kind of perv.”

The singer is currently promoting his new album ‘The Afterlove’, but he’s well aware of the song that put him on the map and has no trouble poking fun on the matter:
