"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. The song was originally recorded as part of Seger's 1970 album, Mongrel, but cut from the final release.
The single was a moderate success, reaching #96 on the US charts and #3 on the Detroit charts. A live version of the song was included on Seger's 1976 live album, Live Bullet.
