  1. "Back on My Feet Again" is a song by #TheBabys. It was released in 1979 as a single from their album #UnionJacks. The song is the band's final Top 40 hit, peaking at No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was originally written for #TheSweet, who made a demo recording of it in 1979, under the name "Yesterday's Hero" and with other lyrics. However, it was never released because the band's bass player, Steve Priest, hated it.
