"Working My Way Back to You" foi popularizada pela Four Seasons em 1966, atingindo o n.º 9 no Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA.
No Reino Unido, a canção ficou três semanas na posição n.º 50, sendo a única música do grupo a contar com Charles Calello atuando temporariamente como baixista, substituindo o membro original Nick Massi.
A letra descreve um homem que traiu sua namorada, sente arrependimento e promete reconquistar seu amor, refletindo uma reinterpretação da melodia da faixa anterior “Let’s Hang On!”.
O Cash Box destacou a música como uma “ode blues-drenched sobre um amante desesperado que espera ser reunido com sua ex-namorada”, mencionando ainda que possui “money‑in‑the‑bank‑sound”.
A composição, escrita por Sandy Linzer e Denny Randell, foi gravada pela primeira vez pelos Four Seasons e, mais tarde, regravada pelo Spinners em 1979, mantendo a mesma temática de arrependimento e reconciliação.
