The hit single "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" by Sting is from the nineties. Sting released it in 1993 as the lead single from his fourth solo studio album, Ten Summoner's Tales.
The song was written and performed by Sting and co-produced with Hugh Padgham. Its lyrics explore uncertainty about institutions, religion, politics and public life while preserving faith in personal relationships. Sting has said that he deliberately left the identity of "you" unspecified so listeners could interpret the song personally.
The single became one of Sting's best-known solo recordings. It reached number one in Canada and number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100. At the 1994 Grammy Awards, it won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and was also nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
A common mix-up is placing the song in the 1980s because Sting was already famous with The Police then. However, this solo hit was released in 1993, firmly placing it in the 1990s.
