"Roxanne" is a hit song by the rock band The Police, first released in 1978… Read Full Bio ↴"Roxanne" is a hit song by the rock band The Police, first released in 1978 as a single and on their album Outlandos d'Amour. It was written about a prostitute in southern France.

Police lead singer Sting wrote the song, inspired by the prostitutes he saw near the band's seedy hotel while in Paris, France in October 1977 to perform at the Nashville Club. The title of the song comes from the name of the character in the play Cyrano de Bergerac, an old poster of which was hanging in the hotel foyer.

Sting had originally conceived the song as a bossa nova, although he credits Police drummer Stewart Copeland for suggesting its final rhythmic form as a tango. During recording, Sting accidentally sat down on a piano keyboard in the studio, resulting in the atonal piano chord and laughter preserved at the beginning of the track. The Police were initially diffident about the song, but Miles Copeland III was immediately enthusiastic after hearing it, becoming their manager and getting them their first record deal with A&M Records. The single did not chart at first, but it was re-released in April 1979 and reached #12 in the UK and #32 in the U.S., and went on to become one of the classic Police songs as well as a staple of Sting's performances during his solo career. "Roxanne" has appeared on every single one of The Police's Greatest hits albums.

Rolling Stone ranked it #388 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

This was also the appropriately first song the band performed live (at the 2007 Grammy Awards) to kick off their 30th Anniversary Reunion Tour.

Overall Meaning

"Roxanne" by The Police is a classic song about a man pleading with a prostitute to leave her difficult lifestyle and embrace a better life with him. It encourages her to stop putting on the red light, to stop walking the streets for money and selling her body for sex. The first verse focuses on the idea that the days of prostitution are over, and she does not have to sell herself in that way. The second verse is the man professing his love for Roxanne, saying he knows his mind is made up, and she does not have to share herself with other men.

The song conveys the message that prostitution is not a good way to live one's life and that anyone in that lifestyle can choose to leave it and pursue something better. The lyrics suggest that Roxanne is trapped in this lifestyle that she may not want to be in, and this man loves her enough to want her to leave it behind.

"Roxanne" was inspired by Sting, the band's lead singer, seeing a Parisian prostitute in 1977 who was soliciting outside the band's hotel. Sting later referred to the song as more complicated than just an anti-prostitution song, with the second verse being about either the jealousy of a lover or Satan’s obsession with a woman's soul.

Line by Line Meaning

Roxanne
Directly addressing a woman named Roxanne

You don't have to put on the red light
You don't need to engage in sex work and advertise with a red light

Those days are over
The past era of needing to do sex work to survive is no longer necessary

You don't have to sell your body to the night
You don't have to engage in prostitution and give up your physical body to the night

You don't have to wear that dress tonight
You don't have to wear revealing clothing to attract clients tonight

Walk the streets for money
You don't have to walk the streets and solicit clients for money

You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
You don't care about the moral implications of engaging in sex work

(Roxanne) Put on the red light
Repeatedly questioning why Roxanne continues to advertise her services with a red light

Oh
Expression of frustration or sadness

I loved you since I knew ya
Expressing long-lasting romantic feelings for Roxanne

I wouldn't talk down to ya
Asserting that he wouldn't treat Roxanne with condescension or disrespect

I have to tell you just how I feel
Expressing the need to be honest about feelings towards Roxanne

I won't share you with another boy
Asserting the desire to have exclusive romantic relations with Roxanne

I know my mind is made up
Confident that the decision to pursue Roxanne romantically is final

So put away your make-up
Not wanting Roxanne to have to advertise her services anymore

Told you once, I won't tell you again it's a bad way
Stating that he has expressed his opinion on sex work and won't repeat himself

Since that touched you, I'll tell you a story. (I'm a guy) I was in a band, I was singing this song in rehearsal. (A woman) was our keyboard player, we had a crush on each other. One night she mentioned to me after practice that everytime I sang: " I never since I knew ya, I wouldn't talk down to ya", and "I won't share you with another boy" really touched her. I said something like, "how do you mean?"

She said, "I was gang raped".

I was speechless. She said,"I believe you when you sing those words".

I don't think anything hit me sideways like that in my life, not physically or emotionally.

I can't agree with that. I listened to this song one time after doing so much ketamine that I forgot what year it was. I went to bed that night absolutely convinced it was 2006 (it was actually 2009). I therefore update your hypothesis and suggest a time independence for this song due to the fact that time scattering had no effect on my interpretation of it. I hereby suggest that it does not have time dependence and can be relatable to anyone regardless of what time they listen to it in.

Just found this vid. I was in the audience on 25/04/1979 at Slough Fulcrum Centre with my mates when we were 16. We paid £1.50 for our tickets. It was during their Outlandos D’Amour tour. They used part of the concert for their official Roxanne vid which you are watching. They were amazing. The place only held 1200 people and they sold 990 tickets. Whispering Bob Harris did a punk music DJ set before they came on and there were loads of punks in the audience who flicked gob at him and at the police when they came on. Happy days. :-)

0:04 the little piano that is heard was sting accidentally sitting down on the piano in the studio thinking the lid was down :) he didn’t know so that’s why after the piano is heard there is a laugh - it’s stings laugh after realising he sat on the piano, and they kept it in the track!

@maticant

4y↑132

I came here to look for any comments about the laughter at the beginning of the song.
To anyone who doesn't know, during the recording sessions, at the beginning of the song Sting accidentally thinks the cover of a nearby piano was closed, and goes to lean on it. He unintentionally plays a nonsensical chord with his butt, then laughs (after 00:04). The band decided to keep this hilarious moment in the final album track. It's become an iconic part of the song since then.
