About This Track

“King of Pain” is a song by The Police, originally released on their 1983 album Synchronicity.

It was released as a worldwide single by A&M Records. It was the second single from Synchronicity in the US and the fourth single in the UK.

Reaching #3 in the US charts in October 1983, and #1 on the Billboard Top Tracks chart for five weeks in August 1983, the single is The Police’s most successful US single (together with “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic”) after “Every Breath You Take” based on chart position. In the UK, it reached #17 in the charts in January 1984.

Interestingly, “King of Pain” was the only single from Synchronicity that did not have an accompanying music video.

    Not a fan of the drum sound, but that feeling that kicks in with the drums is nothing short of absolute magic. Perfect example of how the Police were masters of their craft.

    Best Police teenage angst: Message in a Bottle or Bed's Too Big Without You

    I’m not sure about the best teen angst song… even for one written by the Police. For my money, I think "Synchronicity 2" or "Can’t stand loosing you" are better bets.
