The story behind
The song She’s Got It Bad, with its duration of 3 minutes and 34 seconds, is a piece that evokes a particular atmosphere, captured on the recording by engineer and mixer Daren Klein. The production of this track was handled by Mick Hucknall and Stewart Levine, while the mastering was done by Bernie Grundman.
This song is part of the album Stars, released by the British band Simply Red on September 30, 1991. The record, which became a resounding success, especially in the United Kingdom, managed to sell twelve times platinum and was the best-selling album of the year in that country in both 1991 and 1992. This achievement positioned it as the first album to reach that mark in two consecutive years since Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge over Troubled Water in 1970–1971. By April 2019, Stars remained the fourteenth best-selling album of all time in the United Kingdom. The album was also nominated for the Mercury Prize in 1992 and, in the year 2000, Q magazine included it in its list of "The 100 Greatest British Albums Ever" at number 80.
