"Stuck on You" is a 1984 song written by and originally recorded by Lionel Richie. It was the fourth single released from his second studio album Can't Slow Down 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.[1] 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.[2] "Stuck on You" reached number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, Richie's seventh AC chart topper.[3]
