“Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree” foi escrita por Irwin Levine e L. Russell Brown e produzida por Hank Medress e Dave Appell, contando ainda com o apoio vocal de Telma Hopkins, Joyce Vincent Wilson e sua irmã Pamela Vincent.
O single chegou ao top 10 em dez países e alcançou a primeira posição nas paradas de oito deles, ficando quatro semanas no nº 1 nos EUA e Reino Unido em abril de 1973.
Na Austrália a música liderou a lista por sete semanas (maio‑julho 1973) e na Nova Zelândia por dez semanas consecutivas (junho‑agosto 1973).
Foi o disco mais vendido de 1973 tanto nos Estados Unidos quanto no Reino Unido.
Em 2008 a Billboard classificou a canção como a 37ª maior de todos os tempos, e em 2018, no 60º aniversário da Hot 100, ela ainda figurava entre os 50 maiores, ocupando a posição 46.
A cor amarela da fita inspirou a cor oficial do Partido Liberal das Filipinas, que desempenhou papel central na Revolução do Poder Popular que depôs a ditadura de Marcos em 1986.
