Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” is a song by the British rock band the Police from their fourth studio album, Ghost in the Machine (1981). It was a hit single that reached the top of the charts in the United Kingdom in November 1981[2] and hit No. 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart that same year.[3] The song, unusual for including Jean Alain Roussel, a guest keyboardist, dates back to a demo recorded by bassist and lead singer Sting in the house of Mike Howlett in the autumn of 1976. The song has been described as new wave blended with reggae elements—the signature Police style. The popularity of “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” helped to make Ghost in the Machine one of the Police’s most successful albums.

Written in standard 4
4 time, “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” sets up a tension between the keys of D major and D minor, with the bass line rising up a lydian scale, including portions of the song with no recognisable key. It ultimately resolves to D major, signifying the excitement of romance.[4]

The song is characterised as new wave,[5] with elements of reggae. Sting evokes a reggae feel by emphasising his bass guitar parts at the beats of four and one in the chorus,[6] and Stewart Copeland’s drumming has reggae flourishes. The chiming notes of Caribbean steel drums are heard at the chorus.[4] Unlike other Police songs, it features an arrangement dominated by piano and synthesisers. The lyrics concern unrequited love, telling the story of a hapless romantic who has attempted to pursue a romantic interest for a long period of time, but is too afraid to do so.[7]
