Keep Coming Back (song)


"Keep Coming Back" is a song by American singer-songwriter Richard Marx. It appears on his third solo album, Rush Street, and was both written and produced by Marx. The lyrics to the song detail a man's unrequited love for a woman. Working with musicians such as Luther Vandross and keyboardist Greg Phillinganes, Marx sought to explore different musical territory with this single, stating that "I wanted to write an old-fashioned R&B song."
The song became Marx's 10th top-40 hit in the United States, reaching number five on the Cash Box Top 100 and number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1991. It also spent four weeks atop the Billboard [Hot Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks|Adult Contemporary Tracks|Adult Contemporary] chart, reached number three in Canada, and topped the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart for five weeks.
