Stuck On You by Lionel Richie — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Stuck On You” by Lionel Richie in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play.

Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build comfort playing in the key of B♭, where your fingers need to stay aware of those two flats. Your left hand uses block chords throughout, so focus first on getting clean, confident shapes for B♭ and Dm — those two tend to feel awkward for newer players since both sit on black-and-white-key combinations. The move from B♭ down to Am is worth isolating because the roots are only a half step apart, and at 120 BPM you'll need that transition smooth and automatic. Practice your left hand alone first, cycling through all five chords until the shapes feel memorized in your hand, not just your head. Once that's solid, add the melody — the right hand is fairly stepwise and gentle, true to the ballad feel. This is the piece that'll make flat-key chord changes feel like second nature, so lean into the repetition and let the muscle memory build.
