Sorry Seems to be The Hardest Word ditulis oleh Elton John pada pertengahan tahun 70-an.
Biasanya, pasangan penulisnya, Bernie Taupin yang menulis lirik terlebih
dahulu. Berikutnya ia akan melengkapi melodinya. Tapi pada lagu ini, Elton yang
memulai, membuat melodinya, dan Taupin menyelesaikan sisanya.
Dalam sebuah wawancara, Taupin mengaku
dari awal merasa ‘klik’ dengan ide Elton. Katanya: “Sorry seems to be the
hardest word' ran through my head, and it fit perfectly with what he was
playing. So I said, 'Don't do anything more to that, let me go write something’.”
Maka ia pun menuntaskan lagu tersebutdan dalam beberapa menit mereka telah
punya lagu baru. Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word rilis bersama album
Blue Moves pada tahun 1976. Tahun berikutnya lagu ini menjadi soundtrack film Slap
Shot.
Beberapa penyanyi membawakan kembali lagu ini. Di antaranya
ada Joe Cocker yang memasukkannya dalam album Greatest Hits. Frank Sinatra dan
Jimmy Scott membawakan dalam show mereka. Tahun 2002 grup Inggris, Blue, menggandeng
Elton John untuk kolaborasi dan menempatkan lagu ini di puncak chart.

Seems To Be The Hardest Word
(Sorry seems to be the hardest word)
What I got to do to make you love me?
What I got to do to make you care?
What do I do when lightning strikes me?
And I wake to find that you're not there?
What I got to do to make you want me?
What I got to do to be heard?
What do I say when it's all over?
Sorry seems to be the hardest word.
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation.
And it's getting more and more absurd.
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over?
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word.
