“Save the Last Dance for Me” fue escrita por Doc Pomus y Mort Shuman, inspirada en la propia vida de Pomus. En la boda de Pomus, debido a su poliomielitis, solo podía observar a su esposa bailar con los invitados. La letra refleja su pedido de que ella guarde el último baile para él, a pesar de no poder bailar con ella toda la noche.
