James Blunt apologizes to the world for being overexposed to his most successful hit to date "You're Beautiful" by the radio, explaining that it was "force-fed down people's throats...and it became annoying."

According to the newly-wed 40-years-old singer, in an interview with Hello, the marketing of the song estranged him from many fans as it painted him in a different manner to how he is.

"I think, at the end of the day, I was marketed by a record company to appeal to women during Desperate Housewives' commercials and you lose 50 per cent of the population in doing so," he explained.

As James Blunt apologizes for his hit single, a lot of attention has been turned to the song in question.

"The marketing also painted me out as an insanely serious person, and earnest person, he explained, "[but] as all my friends know, I'm anything but. I have a couple of over-emotional miserable songs that I'm known for, but I think it's turned that corner now. People can see I don't take myself that seriously."

Commentators say even as James Blunt apologizes, it wouldn't affect that the song, which claimed the no 1 spot in many charts across the world and is widely regarded as one of the most appealing tunes to this day.

There are some speculations that James Blunt apologizes for the song, which was apparently written for one of his former girlfriends, to publicly announce that he is content in his new relationship. The singer got married to Sofia Wellesley last month.
