Simply RedSomething Got Me Started
‘Something Got Me Started’ arrived in September 1991 as the lead single for Simply Red’s fourth album, Stars. The track marked a pivot toward funk and dance, cementing the band’s global status.
Now, the song’s infectious energy is recaptured and refined for ‘Recollections’, delivering a recording that honours the original while sounding bolder than ever.

LYRICS
Something got me started
You know that I will love you
Lately since we parted
I truly know that I need you
I’d give it all up for you x 8
(Yes I would)
Totally broken-hearted
Guilty of what I did to you
Lately since we partedI truly know that I need you
Yes I do because
I’d give it all up for you x 8
(Yes I would)
I could never have imagined that [the album] Stars would have the impact it did. It’s always about the music. I have this abiding faith in the music and that will shine through when I’m dead and gone. I don’t really care about the contemporary side of it because I’m always trying to make music that will last a long time.
