"Keep Coming Back" is a 1991 R&B-oriented hit 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.[1] Working with musicians such as Luther Vandross (who added backing vocals to the track) and guitarist-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."[1]

The song became Marx's tenth Top 40 pop hit in the United States, reaching #5 in Cash Box, and peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in late 1991.[2] It also spent four weeks atop the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.[1] On the UK Singles Chart, the song topped out at #55 in October 1991.[3]

Additionally, it placed Richard on the American 'Soul' charts for nine weeks, getting as high as #71. It featured prominent vocals by the late Luther Vandross.

Volver A Ti Amor

Marx also recorded a Spanish-language version of the song as "Volver A Ti Amor" for the Spanish market.
