This song was originally written about a guy, not a girl. Their record company (A&M, maybe?) recognized the radio potential of the song and asked the band to make "Jackie" a girl.

As far as the song goes, I agree with Buddha. This may be one of OMD's worst songs, ever. If you want to hear some inspiring OMD music, check out Standing on a Rock, Fly Away Home, It'll Shine When it Shines, Gypsy Forest, Spaceship Orion, Whippoorwill, Road to Glory, Beauty in the River, True Believer, ...I could go on and on.
