O álbum **The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland** lançou “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” como seu primeiro single em 1967, mas a faixa já havia sido gravada nove vezes antes da versão final ser aprovada pelos produtores Holland‑Dozier‑Holland.
A composição recebeu influência do “news flash” de rádio, que inspirou Lamont Dozier a criar a linha de guitarra em estilo de código Morse que tornou a música memorável.
Os vocais de Diana Ross, os instrumentos de The Funk Brothers e vários elementos de guitarra e bateria foram multitrackeados, resultando em um som mais cheio que os registros anteriores da Supremes.
O single alcançou o topo da Billboard Hot 100 por duas semanas em novembro de 1966 e permaneceu no primeiro lugar da soul chart por quatro semanas consecutivas.
Em 1974, a música foi incluída em uma performance ao vivo no programa de variedades ABC “The Hollywood Palace”, em 29 de outubro de 1966, demonstrando seu apelo contínuo além das gravações de estúdio.
