You're So Vain
Updated: Oct 1
"You're So Vain" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Carly Simon, released as a single in November 1972. The lyrics describe a self-absorbed lover, whose identity has long been a matter of speculation. Simon said the song refers to three men, one of whom she has named publicly—the actor Warren Beatty.
In 1972, Simon told an interviewer that the song was about "men", not a specific man.[14] In 1983, she said it was not about Mick Jagger,[15] who contributed uncredited backing vocals to the song[16] (Simon said she invited him to join the recording when he made a call into the studio.[17]) In a 1993 book, Angie Bowie said she was the "wife of a close friend" mentioned in the song, and that Jagger had been "obsessed" with her.
