Background edit

The song was included on an Elvis Presley recording session held March 12, 1961. "There's Always Me" is a ballad featured on the studio album Something for Everybody released on May 19, 1961. The backing vocals were by the Jordanaires.

The song was published by Elvis Presley's publishing company, Gladys Music, Inc. The writer was pianist and songwriter Don Robertson. Presley was enthusiastic whilst recording it, relishing the challenge of the tenor ending.[1] Robertson recalled the conversation: "Just before the recording reached the end, he said to me: 'Listen to this ending'. He was very proud of his semi-operatic delivery of the title line at the end, as well he should have been."

The song was recorded at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee.
