A pop rock song by Billy Joel, released in 1983 from his album "An Innocent Man." The song is a catchy, upbeat tune about a working-class "downtown" man trying to win the affection of an "uptown" wealthy woman, inspired by his relationship with supermodel Christie Brinkley.
Like if you go back and listen to Captain Jack Y, it like from Captain Jack to Uptown Girl.
""The speaker contrasts Billy Joel's earlier song "Captain Jack" with "Uptown Girl," noting how his music changed as his life became more successful and he married a supermodel."
