Discover the story of the song > Other People’s Lives – Don Johnson

The lyrics are about two different people, Suzy and Johnny, who feel unsatisfied with their lives and believe that other people's lives are better. Suzy wants to live a luxurious life with money and more excitement. Johnny is tired of his job and dreams of climbing higher in life. But they both soon realize that the grass is not always greener on the other side and even having everything they want doesn't necessarily lead to happiness. The song emphasizes how we tend to see other people's lives as effortless and perfect, but we don't always know what struggles they may be facing.
