John Lennon começou a escrever “Jealous Guy” em 1968, quando a faixa foi demoada pelos Beatles sob o título “Child of Nature”.
A letra se inspirou em uma palestra de Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, entregue aos Beatles em 1968 durante seu retiro espiritual em Rishikesh, Índia.
Em janeiro de 1969, os Beatles, sobretudo Lennon, tocaram a canção em sessões de gravação do álbum Get Back / Let It Be, referindo‑se a ela como “On the Road to Marrakesh”.
Embora lançada no álbum *Imagine* (1971), a versão original de Lennon não saiu como single na sua vida; apenas depois de sua morte foi disponibilizada como single e alcançou sucesso nos EUA e Reino Unido.
A versão de Roxy Music, lançada no início de 1981, tornou‑se um hit internacional, alcançando o número 1 no Reino Unido e na Austrália e entrando no top‑10 em vários países europeus.
