"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).

[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 popularity of "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" helped to make Ghost in the Machine one of the Police's most successful albums.

[7] Although the song was recorded in 1981, Sting wrote it in early 1977 around the time of the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II, prior to the formation of the Police.

[10] An early demo of the song can be heard on the Strontium 90 studio album Strontium 90: Police Academy (1997), which Sting recorded entirely by himself while the song was still fresh in his mind (according to Mike Howlett), using equipment in the loft of Howlett's home in Acton, London which included an acoustic guitar, a bass guitar, an African drum, a TEAC 4-track recorder and some cheap microphones.

[11] The recording was made prior to the launch of the Portastudio in the late 1970s, which Sting would later use for writing and demoing songs for the Police.

[15] Sting later flew Roussel over to help re-record the track against the wishes of his bandmates Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland while they were recording the Ghost in the Machine album at AIR Studios, Montserrat.

[16] Summers did not approve of Roussel's inclusion in the track, stating that he was "incredibly pushy" and that "there wasn't room for him.

"[17] Feeling that the arrangement of the track was not enough like the Police style, Summers (who recalled, "as the guitar player I was saying, 'What the f**k is this?

This is not the Police sound'") and the band tried to "Police-ify" the track by attempting different arrangements and styles, but none of them clicked.

Copeland said of this moment, "I remember Sting for years trying to think of a rhyme for 'magic', as in 'Every Little Things She Does Is Magic.'

There I was in my leather pants and punk hairdo, pondering the distinction between ocean-going and river-going fish.

These lyrics were repeated once more in "Seven Days" on Sting's fourth solo studio album Ten Summoner's Tales (1993).
