Released after “Feels Like the First Time” and “Cold as Ice,” Foreigner’s “Long, Long Way From Home” was one of three hit singles from the band’s self-titled debut album, reaching No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. But it was by far the most personal.
In an interview with Classic Rock Revisited, Gramm confirmed, [‘Long, Long Way from Home’] is the very first song that Mick and I wrote together. They are very autobiographical lyrics.“
Gramm once revealed that the song was written in the span of a couple of hours.
“[He said], ‘If you hear one that you really like and you want to work on, stop me’,” Gramm shared. “So I heard a little bit of the music for ‘Long, Long Way From Home.’ So we worked on it for another two hours, and before I went home we had that song written.”
“This was the first song I wrote with Lou Gramm,” he said in a video posted on Foreigner’s official YouTube page. “And it really sort of reflected the story of here we are like three foreigners, three Americans and like I'm the only one that lives in New York City.”

Gramm told Rock Cellar magazine his writing partnership with Jones worked because they each had a lane.
More than 40 years after that first songwriting session, “Long, Long Way From Home” remains an enduring classic—the song that opened the door for decades of Foreigner’s rock hits.
