George Michael On Writing the Song “I’m Your Man

What made you choose ‘I’m Your Man’ over ‘The Edge Of Heaven’?

‘The Edge Of Heaven’ you can tie fairly strongly to the last album – it’s like a more raunchy ‘Wake Me Up’ – while ‘I’m Your Man’ is pretty different to anything we’ve ever done. Also I’d got pretty sick of ‘Edge’ because we played it all summer in America! ‘I’m Your Man’ was written very quickly. The whole of the first verse and chorus came to me in five minutes on an internal flight in America.
