In this case, the movie length episode Stranger Things, Season 4, Episode 9, “Chapter Nine: The Piggyback.
The song was played during the scenes at the skate park.

The song became mega-popular, not only for its catchy melody and chorus, but also for its creepy message — the idea of a lover who is so obsessed with the person he cares about, he is following her every move.
Sure, no woman really wants that, but it’s still nice to think of someone that much in love with you, right?
Listen to The Police’s ‘Every Breath You Take‘ from this week’s Stranger Things in the song’s official music video (gotta love Sting playing the upright bass, eh?), and on the band’s remastered Synchronicity album.
