Sting Release New Song “I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)”

Sting has unveiled a new single, “I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart),” featuring his current power trio lineup. The song showcases guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas, arriving just ahead of the group’s upcoming Sting 3.0 North American tour, which kicks off on September 17th in Detroit.

The music video for “I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart)” is available on the video below.

This new track presents a grittier sound compared to Sting’s recent work, incorporating the classic Bo Diddley rhythm and delivering a raw, raspy vocal performance from the legendary singer. On this single, Sting handles both bass and guitar duties. It marks his first release of new music since his 2021 album, The Bridge.
