"Lookin' Back" is a song written by Bob Seger, originally released as a non-album single in September 1971.
As with previous single "2 + 2 = ?", "Lookin' Back" was a criticism of political conservatism, chiding conservatives for not being open to new ideas.[1] The song was originally recorded as part of Seger's 1970 album, Mongrel, but cut from the final release.[2]
The single was a moderate success, reaching #96 on the US charts and #3 on the Detroit charts.[3][1] A live version of the song was included on Seger's 1976 live album, Live Bullet.[4]
