A canção “Hound Dog” foi composta pela dupla Jerry Leiber e Mike Stoller.
A primeira gravação da música foi feita por Big Mama Thornton em 1952.
Jerry Leiber contou que a escrita da letra durou cerca de doze minutos, apesar da dificuldade da métrica e do esquema de rimas.
A estrutura rítmica da canção foi considerada complexa pelos compositores.
A versão de Elvis Presley, lançada em 1956, acabou alcançando muito mais sucesso comercial que a gravação original.
