"Goin' Home" is a song written by Alan Osmond, Merrill Osmond, and Wayne Osmond and performed by The Osmonds. It reached #4 on the UK Singles Chart, #30 on the Canadian pop chart,[1] #36 on the Billboard chart,[2] and #91 on Canadian adult contemporary chart[3] in 1973. It was featured on their 1973 album, The Plan.[4]

The song was produced by Alan Osmond.[5] It followed the same basic arrangement as their previous string of rock hits and, like the other songs on The Plan, carried a Mormon undertone ("going home" being a euphemism for heaven, and one point mentioning being a space traveler in a veiled reference to Kolob).[citation needed]
