<P> `` Message in a Bottle '' is a song by English rock band The Police . It was released as the lead single from their second studio album , Reggatta de Blanc ( 1979 ) . Written by the band 's lead singer and bassist Sting , the song is ostensibly about a story of a castaway on an island , who sends out a message in a bottle to seek love . A year later , he has not received any sort of response , and despairs , thinking he is destined to be alone . The next day , he sees `` a hundred billion bottles '' on the shore , finding out that there are more people like him out there . </P>
