"Back in My Arms Again" is a 1965 hit song recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label. Written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland-Dozier-Holland, "Back in My Arms Again" was the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for one week, from June 6, 1965 to June 12, 1965, and was the number one song on the soul chart for a single week. It was also the last of five Supremes songs in a row to go number one (the others are "Where Did Our Love Go," "Baby Love," "Come See About Me," and "Stop! In the Name of Love").Chart Positions:<68-38-15-6-3-3-1-5-11-15-37> 11 weeks

The record is notable for being one of the first Motown records recorded using an eight-track mixing console, developed and manufactured in-house by the studio engineers. Motown was the first record label to make regular use of eight-track recording equipment, which later became an industry standard.

In the lyrics to the song, lead singer Diana Ross is singing about how taking the advice of her two best friends led to the break-up of her and her boyfriend; but now he is "back in [her] arms again." She gives the names of the guilty parties as "Mary" and "Flo": "Mary" "lost her love so true", while Ross knows that "the boy ["Flo"] loves is a Romeo". "Mary" and "Flo" refer to Ross' groupmates Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard, who sing background vocals on the song.

"Back in My Arms Again" was included on the Supremes' sixth album, "More Hits by the Supremes". The song is also mentioned by Eric Carmen in the song "Make Me Lose Control".
