Sting Returns with New Single "I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)" and Upcoming Tour
British rock legend Sting has released a new single, "I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)", featuring his latest power trio. The track, which takes a decidedly tougher stance than many of Sting’s recent songs, adapts the classic Bo Diddley beat and features an appealingly raspy vocal take from the singer. The song is the former Police frontman’s first new music since his 2021 album The Bridge.
