Joel began dating Macpherson and wrote the song with her and her girlfriends in mind. While it is widely believed that the subject of the song is Joel’s ex-wife and supermodel Christie Brinkley, Brit writers Michael Heatley and Frank Hopkinson revealed in The Girl in the Song: The True Stories Behind 50 Rock Classics, that Joel actually penned “Uptown Girl” about an earlier love interest, supermodel Elle Macpherson.Īccording to the authors, Joel drew his inspiration for the song while encountering Brinkley, Macpherson and singer Whitney Houston while on vacation in the Caribbean. He sings, “Uptown girl / You know I can’t afford to buy her pearls / But maybe someday when my ship comes in / She’ll understand what kind of guy I’ve been / And then I’ll win.” In this 1983 song from his album An Innocent Man, Joel struggles with the fact that he can’t keep up with the rich guys - at least when it comes to lavishing gifts upon the uptown girl.
