Puff Daddy's 1997 tribute to the Notorious B.I.G., built on the Every Breath You Take melody. Used in memorial edits and emotional throwback montages.

This is the instantly recognisable chorus of the 1997 tribute single, built around a gently plucked guitar arpeggio lifted from the Police classic, with swelling R and B harmonies and a soaring lead vocal that repeats the promise of remembering someone who is gone. The melody is warm and mournful at once, rising slowly over soft percussion until it blooms into a full, emotional singalong. Hearing even a few seconds of it triggers instant nostalgia and a lump in the throat, which is why it lands so hard over photos, montages and farewells.

Released in 1997, I'll Be Missing You was recorded by Puff Daddy with Faith Evans and 112 as a tribute to the Notorious B.I.G. following his death that March. Built on the melody of the Police's 1983 hit Every Breath You Take, with Sting credited as a songwriter, it topped the Billboard Hot 100 and charts around the world, becoming one of the best selling singles of the decade. Decades later it remains the default musical shorthand for loss and remembrance across tribute videos and memorial posts.

Profi-Tipp zur Verwendung

Let the guitar arpeggio play alone under your opening photos, then cut to the vocal on a face or moment. Slow zooms and crossfades suit it best, and keep it low under voiceover. Avoid fast cuts or jokes, since the mournful tone clashes with comedy.
