The Police a fost o trupă britanică de new wave formată din trei membri, care a combinat în stilul său elemente de rock, reggae, punk și jazz. A fost una dintre cele mai populare trupe din lume la începutul anilor '80 și a vândut peste 50 de milioane de albume de-a lungul carierei sale. Revista Rolling Stone a plasat The Police pe locul 70 în topul celor mai buni 100 de artiști ai tuturor timpurilor.
Albumul Synchronicity a apărut în iunie 1983 la casa de discuri A&M și a devenit cea mai de succes realizare comercială a trupei. Titlul albumului și cea mai mare parte a materialului textual au fost inspirate de cartea lui Arthur Koestler The Roots of Coincidence (1972), care abordează teoria jungiană a sincronicității. În comparație cu albumele anterioare ale The Police, aici influențele reggae cedează locul unei producții bogate și utilizării mai pronunțate a sintetizatoarelor. Printre cele mai mari hituri de pe album se numără Every Breath You Take, King of Pain, Wrapped Around Your Finger și Synchronicity II. La premiile Grammy din 1984, albumul a câștigat trei premii din cinci nominalizări, inclusiv o nominalizare pentru albumul anului. Synchronicity a devenit al cincilea și ultimul album de studio al trupei.
La momentul lansării albumului, formația era alcătuită din vocalistul și basistul Sting, chitaristul Andy Summers și toboșarul Stewart Copeland.
