Discover the story of the song > Pretty in Pink – The Psychedelic Furs

The song tells the story of a girl named Caroline who likes to fit in with the other girls and doesn't like to confront problems. Her lovers are all talk and no action, and they didn't even bother to send her flowers. The one who claims to have been with her first can't even remember her name now that she's gone. However, Caroline herself is kind and gentle, and cares deeply for her partner. She even gives her partner her coat and clothes before they part ways. Ultimately, the song is about the beauty of Caroline and how others perceive her, rather than her own agency.
