Limerick and recording [edit]

The song was composed by Mann and Weil, and it was a rare instance of a Parton hit that she did not write herself. The songwriting duo originally composed "Here Y'all Come up Again" in 1975 as a potential improvement hitting for Brenda Lee, but when Lee decided not to record it, the song made its way to Parton, who was looking for something to broaden her appeal. Her producer, Gary Klein, who had heard the song on B.J. Thomas's recently released self-titled anthology,^[1] reported that Parton had begged him to add a steel guitar to avoid sounding also pop, and he called in Al Perkins to fill up that function. "She wanted people to exist able to hear the steel guitar, so if someone said it isn't country, she could say it and evidence it," Klein told journalist Tom Roland. "She was so relieved. It was like her life sentence was reprieved."^[two]

The song modulates keys four times. The first ii verses are set in Chiliad ♭ major, followed by A major for the starting time bridge, Thou major for the third verse, B ♭ major for the 2d bridge, and finally A ♭ major for the last verse and outro. The vocal moves at a swinging tempo of 106 beats per infinitesimal in common fourth dimension, with Parton's vocals ranging from G ♭ _iii to D₅.^[3] ^[4]
