Sting describes the song as being in two parts: a specific list of institutions he has lost faith in (politics, media, science, technology) and a vague, undefined "You" in whom he still finds hope. This "You" could represent romantic love, God, a friend, or oneself.

Following the introspective and somber The Soul Cages (1991), which focused on the death of his parents, Sting adopted a more musical tone for this album. The title is a pun on his surname, Gordon Sumner , and the Summoner character from Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales . 1. "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You"

The song famously begins with a flattened fifth (tritone), a chord historically banned by the church as "the devil's music," which creates a sense of unease before transitioning into a melodic pop-rock track. Accolades & Charting: Grammy Award: Won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance (1994).
