"Stuck on You" is a song written by and originally recorded by Lionel Richie. It was the fourth single released from his second studio album Can't Slow Down released on May 1, 1984, by Motown, and achieved chart success, particularly in the U.S. and the UK, where it peaked at number three and number 12, respectively. The song differs from Richie's other compositions, as it displays a country pop influence rather than R&B. As such, the single's cover photo shows Richie wearing a cowboy hat, and indeed, "Stuck on You" peaked at number 24 on the country chart. "Stuck on You" reached number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, Richie's seventh chart topper. The song marks Lionel Richie's country music debut.
In 2003, "Stuck on You" was covered by American band 3T. It was the first single from the band's second studio album Identity, on which the song also appears in a remixed version called 'Smooth Mix' (also available on the CD maxi). Released in summer 2003, it achieved success in the Netherlands, Belgium and France, where it was a top ten hit.
Another cover was performed by the British Reggae singer, Trevor Walters, in 1984 (only 3 months after the original). This version was Walters biggest hit in his home country peaking inside the Top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. In fact it was so successful that it peaked higher than Richie's original.
The song's chorus was used in the song "Stuck on Replay" by German EDM band Scooter.
