"Stuck with You" is a song by American rock band Huey Lewis and the News, written by guitarist Chris Hayes and lead singer Huey Lewis. Released in 1986, it was the first single from the band's fourth album, Fore!. The song spent three weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's second number-one hit on the chart. Internationally, the song became the band's second top-20 hit in the United Kingdom, reaching number 12 on the UK Singles Chart, and peaked within the top 10 in Australia, Canada, Iceland, South Africa, and New Zealand.

Origin

According to Lewis, the song was written about a girl he liked; however, she did not like the song once he revealed it to her.[1] Co-writer Chris Hayes said the song's structure was influenced by the 1982 Donald Fagen song I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World)[2]

Reception

Cash Box called it a "romantic pop song."[3] Billboard said it has "a skewed love lyric set to street-corner harmonizing."[4]

Music video

The music video for "Stuck with You" was filmed in the Bahamas in July 1986 and features Keely Shaye Smith.[5] The island that Lewis and Smith wind up on is a small island about ten miles from Paradise Island in Nassau. The video was filmed on land, on water, underwater, and from the air. The band, the crew and all the extras used in the island barbecue scene had to stay on a barge moored off the island so that they wouldn't be seen. The costumes were designed by Bambi Breakstone who designed the costumes for the 2nd season of Miami Vice (1985/1986).

The video was directed by Edd Griles, who had previously directed the band's videos for "The Heart of Rock & Roll" and "If This Is It", as well as Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Time After Time".
