Backstage is the fifth album by American singer-actress Cher, released on May 27, 1968 by Imperial Records. This album was her first commercial failure, failing to chart. The album is by-and-large a covers album.

Album information

Backstage was released in 1968, was produced once again by Sonny Bono with Denis Pregnolato and Harold R. Battiste Jr. and was Cher's last album on the Liberty Records subsidiary Imperial Records.

The album was not a success and was her first to produce no hit singles. "The Click Song" and "Take Me For A Little While" were released as singles, but they did not chart. Ten of the 12 tracks were also issued in 1970 as an LP on Sunset Records (Liberty Records' budget subsidiary) as This Is Cher (the songs "A House is Not a Home" and "Song Called Children" were not included).

In this year Cher recorded two other songs: "Yours Until Tomorrow" and "The Thought Of Loving You". "Yours Until Tomorrow" was released as a single with "The Thought Of Loving You".

The album was re-issued on CD in 2007 along with the greatest hits release Golden Greats.

In 2016, the song "It All Adds Up Now" was used in the NatWest advertising campaign, with the title of the song being used as the company's slogan. This was following the success of an Amazon Prime ad using Sonny & Cher's hit "Little Man", evoking the public's interest in Cher's early 1960s work.
