### **A Timeless Love Ballad: Bryan Adams – *You’re Still Beautiful to Me***
Few artists capture the essence of love and devotion as powerfully as **Bryan Adams**, and *You’re Still Beautiful to Me* stands as a testament to enduring affection. Written by **Bryan Adams and Robert John “Mutt” Lange**, the song first appeared on Adams’ **1996 album *18 til I Die***. Later, it was covered by **Bryan White**, a country music artist, who released it as a single in 1999 for his album *How Lucky I Am*.
At its core, *You’re Still Beautiful to Me* is a heartfelt ode to the lasting beauty found in a long-term relationship. The lyrics emphasize the unwavering admiration one feels for a partner, even as time passes. It expresses gratitude for love that remains strong through the years, reinforcing the idea that true beauty transcends the superficial and is deeply rooted in connection and devotion.
Musically, the song carries Adams’ signature rock-ballad style, filled with passionate vocals and a melodic arrangement that highlights the sincerity of the message. The composition blends soft, intimate verses with a soaring chorus, making it an emotional anthem for couples who have weathered life’s changes together. The production, influenced by Lange’s expertise, gives the song a polished yet deeply personal feel.
While Adams’ original version fits seamlessly within his rock repertoire, Bryan White’s country adaptation gave it a different dimension. White’s rendition introduced the song to country audiences, earning it a modest position on the **Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks** chart, where it peaked at **No. 39**, and reached **No. 23** in Canada.
The song’s lasting appeal lies in its universal message—an appreciation for love that grows deeper with time. Whether experienced as a rock ballad by Adams or a heartfelt country performance by White, *You’re Still Beautiful to Me* remains a moving tribute to the kind of love that endures.
