The song ranked No. 388 on the Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and was voted No. 85 by VH1 on its list of the 100 Greatest Rock Songs.

Roxanne is a hit song by the rock band The Police, first released in 1978 as a single and on their album Outlandos d'Amour. It was written about a prostitute in southern France. Police lead singer Sting wrote the song, inspired by the prostitutes he saw near the band's seedy hotel while in Paris, France in October 1977 to perform at the Nashville Club. The title of the song comes from the name of the character in the play Cyrano de Bergerac, an old poster of which was hanging in the hotel foyer. Police guitarist Andy Summers made a key contribution to this song. In a Songfacts interview with Summers, he explained: 'Roxanne' is so identified by that guitar at the beginning - the first verse before he starts singing. It's immediately identifiable. The Police performed this when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. With the exception of a drunken jam at Sting's wedding in 1992, it was the first time they played together since they broke up in 1986 over personal differences. Most of the songs the Police made, I like immensely. Why people like this is beyond me. I think Sting and the rest of the Police were right to be amazed by its promotion.
