James Blunt Reveals True Meaning Behind 'You're Beautiful' on 20th Anniversary
On the 20th anniversary of his hit song 'You're Beautiful,' James Blunt revealed the song's true meaning, admitting it was inspired by being 'high as a kite on drugs, stalking someone else’s girlfriend,' rather than the romantic sentiment many believed. The song, released in 2005, propelled Blunt to international fame, topping charts in over ten countries and selling millions of records. Blunt candidly thanked fans in a humorous social media video, acknowledging the song's unconventional and even creepy undertones. Fans reacted with amusement and continued affection, appreciating both the song and Blunt's self-deprecating honesty. The revelation has prompted a reassessment of the song's lyrics, which many now see in a new, less romantic light, though it remains widely beloved. Blunt's openness and wit have cemented his enduring popularity two decades after the song's release.
