Restless (Elton John song)

"Restless" is a song written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, released on Elton John's 1984 album, Breaking Hearts. It was released as a single and reached number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.

The song is an upbeat, rock-influenced track, driven by a prominent guitar riff and a driving rhythm section. The lyrics, written by Taupin, explore themes of dissatisfaction and the yearning for something more. The protagonist feels trapped and confined, longing to break free from their current circumstances.

"Restless" was produced by Chris Thomas. Its release as a single was accompanied by a music video. While not one of Elton John's biggest hits, "Restless" remains a notable track from the Breaking Hearts album and is representative of his rock-oriented sound during the mid-1980s.
