"When I'm Back on My Feet Again" is the fourth single released from American singer-songwriter Michael Bolton's sixth studio album, titled Soul Provider, with that parent album having come out in 1989. The song was written by Diane Warren, who had based its lyricism and other elements on her emotions after the death of her father. She is quoted as saying that "the song wrote itself...I was thinking about my dad who had recently passed away, and it just came pouring out."[1]

The song peaked at No. 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in August 1990, becoming Bolton's third top-10 hit in the United States. It also spent three weeks atop the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, Bolton's second No. 1 on this chart following "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You". Worldwide, "When I'm Back on My Feet Again" peaked at No. 2 in Canada, No. 20 in Ireland, No. 35 in New Zealand, No. 44 in the United Kingdom, and No. 77 in Australia.
