Careless Whisper (Extended Mix) is the UK 12” single by George Michael, released in 1984 on Epic Records during his transition from Wham! frontman to solo artist.

The extended mix expands the original hit with a longer intro and instrumental passages, emphasising the iconic saxophone motif and smooth mid‑tempo arrangement that made the song an international success. The record was aimed squarely at clubs and radio DJs, capitalising on the popularity of extended 12” formats in the mid‑1980s.

The B‑side features “Careless Whisper (Instrumental)”, credited to George Michael / Andrew Ridgeley, highlighting the production and arrangement without vocals.
