The song marks Lionel Richie's country music debut and the single's cover photo shows Richie wearing a cowboy hat. "Stuck on You" peaked at number 24 on the Country chart.[3]

Background

The song differs from Richie's other compositions, as it displays a country pop influence rather than R&B.[4]

Cash Box described the song as "an airtight and tender ballad with a nearly country twinge."[5]
