Recording information by JdawgscPATRON
"Working My Way Back to You" is a song made popular by The Four Seasons in 1966 and The Spinners (known as The Detroit Spinners in the United Kingdom) in 1980.
Written by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell, the song was originally recorded by The Four Seasons in 1966, reaching number nine on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It's the only hit to feature the group's arranger Charles Calello in the temporary role of bassist/bass vocalist, having replaced original member Nick Massi.
In 1980, The Spinners' medley of "Working My Way Back to You" and Michael Zager's "Forgive Me Girl" topped the UK singles chart for two weeks in April. On the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, the medley peaked at the number two position in March. The Spinners version also made it to number six on the soul chart and number eight on the disco/dance chart.
The song is about a man who cheated on his girlfriend and also emotionally abused her. When she leaves, he realizes that he did love her and is very remorseful about his past actions. He vows to win her love back. Interestingly, it is in some ways a re-casting of the melody from their previous hit, "Let's Hang On," although "Working My Way" is much better known nowadays due to the Spinners' cover.
