Tattoo You track listing

"Worried About You" is a song featured on the 1981 Rolling Stones album Tattoo You.

Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, "Worried About You" is slow ballad first produced for 1975's Black and Blue. This is most evident with the song's guitar solo contributed by Wayne Perkins, an early contender for the lead guitarist spot left open after the departure of Mick Taylor. Like some songs for Black and Blue, "Worried About You" was recorded in Rotterdam, Netherlands, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. Overdubs were performed in Montreux, Switzerland, as well as later in 1981 in New York City.

With Jagger on lead vocals (using a falsetto voice like the earlier released, later recorded "Emotional Rescue") with Richards providing prominent harmony vocals during the chorus, Perkins and Richards perform guitars. Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman performs drums and bass, respectively. Billy Preston, a heavy contirbutor to Stones albums during the 1970s, performs electric piano.

A simple performance music video was produced in support of the song. The song was billed as "Worried 'Bout You" in the video. It is notable for showing Ronnie Wood, the eventual choice for the Stones' lead guitarist, performing Perkins' solo (similar to the videos for "Waiting on a Friend" and "Hot Stuff", which were actually played by Mick Taylor and Harvey Mandel respectively). Also, Jagger is seen performing electric piano in place of Billy Preston (not featured in the video).
