Eurythmics wrapped up the Be Yourself Tonight run in 1985 with "It's Alright, Baby's Coming Back", the last of the four singles pulled from that album, and it finds the duo in a warm, soul-revue mood. Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart wrote it together, Stewart produced it and mixed it with engineer Adam Williams, and Michael Kamen devised the brass arrangement, with Dave Plews on trumpet and Martin Dobson on sax giving the chorus its swagger. Lennox sings lead and adds electronic instruments, Dean Garcia plays bass and Olle Romo drums.
At home it became their tenth top 20 hit, stalling at number 12, while America barely noticed. The songwriting did win Lennox and Stewart the Ivor Novello for Best Song Musically and Lyrically in 1986.
