Looking Back to Yesterday is a compilation album released on February 11, 1986, featuring tracks from American singer Michael Jackson during his tenure at Motown in the late 1960s and early 1970s, both by himself and with The Jackson 5. As part of Motown's Never-Before-Released series, all songs were previously unreleased except for "Love's Gone Bad" and "I Was Made to Love Her"; alternate, longer versions had already been released in 1979 on the Jackson 5 compilation Boogie.[1]

The album was re-released in August 1991 and re-titled Looking Back to Yesterday: A Young Michael and sold over half a million copies.[2] It was re-released again as part of Hello World: The Motown Solo Collection in 2009.
