"Back in Time" is a song by Huey Lewis and the News written for and featured in the 1985 film Back to the Future.[1] The song is heard near the end of the film when Marty McFly wakes up in his own bed, after returning from 1955, to the song playing on the radio. It is also played during the closing credits. In contrast to the band's number-one hit from the movie, "The Power of Love", the lyrics for "Back in Time" specifically refer to the story and characters of the film.[1] The song was later covered for the title sequence of the Back to the Future animated series, and appears in Back to the Future: The Game.

Although not released as a commercially available single, the song, mixed by Bob Clearmountain, reached number three in September 1985 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart.[2] The video for the song features bloopers and "never-before-seen" clips from the band's other hit videos, including "I Want a New Drug", "If This Is It", "Heart of Rock & Roll", and "Heart and Soul".
