It was their debut single and marked the beginning of their successful career. The song was written and produced by #TheCorporation, a team of Motown songwriters and producers. The song was included in their debut album "Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5". An unusual aspect about "I Want You Back" was that its main lead vocal was performed by a tween, a then-11-year-old Michael Jackson. The song features a catchy melody, energetic vocals and a lively arrangement with a prominent bassline. It quickly became a chart-topping hit and is considered one of the group's signature songs. The song's lyrics express a desire to reunite with a lost love and explores the theme of a lover who decides that he was too hasty in dropping his partner. It's upbeat sound has made it a timeless favorite and a significant part of pop music history. "I Want You Back" was released on October 6, 1969, and was the first Jackson 5 single to be released by Motown and the first song written and produced by The Corporation, a team comprising Motown chief Berry Gordy, Freddie Perren, Alphonso Mizell, and Deke Richards. Lyrics: Uh-huh huh huhhh. Let me tell ya now. Uh-huh. Mmhhmmm. When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around. Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd. But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took. Now it's much too late for me to take a second look. Oh, baby, give me one more chance To show you that I love you. Won't you please let me back in your heart? Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go, (Let you go, baby.) But now, since I see you in his arms, I want you back. Yes, I do now. I want you back. Ooh, ooh, baby. I want you back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I want you back. Na, na, na, na. Trying to live without your love is one long sleepless night. Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right. Every street you walk on, I leave tear stains on the ground, yeah. Following the girl I didn't even want around. Let me tell ya now. Oh, darling, all I need is one more chance To show you that I love you. Won't you please let me back in your heart? Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go, (Let you go, baby.) But now, since I see you in his arms... Oh, ha. Bum, bum, bum, bum. All I want... Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. All I need... Bum, bum, bum, bum. All I want... Bum, bum, bum, bum. All I need... Oh, just one more chance To show you that I love you. Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby! I want you back. Forget what happened then (I want you back.) And let me live again! Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go, But now, since I see you in his arms, I want you back. Spare me of this cause (I want you back.) Give me back what I lost! Oh, darling, I need one more chance—ha— I'll show you that I love you. Baby, oh! Baby, oh! Baby, oh! I want you back! I want you back!
