About the song
Alright, let’s dive into the timeless classic that is CONNIE FRANCIS: WHO’S SORRY NOW? (1958).
Now, for those of us who remember when the world was a little younger, and music had a certain innocent charm to it, Connie Francis was a household name. This woman, with her powerful voice and an uncanny ability to tug at your heartstrings, delivered hit after hit. And among those gems, “Who’s Sorry Now?” holds a special place.
Released in 1958, this song wasn’t exactly brand new. It actually dates back to the 1920s, a relic of the Tin Pan Alley era. But Connie, in her signature style, breathed new life into it. She took a song that spoke of regret and heartbreak, and with her youthful energy and that unmistakable vibrato, turned it into a pop sensation.
Imagine this: it’s the late 50s. Elvis is shaking things up, rock and roll is finding its footing, and here comes Connie with a ballad, a song drenched in emotion. And guess what? It topped the charts! In the UK, it reigned supreme for weeks on end. It was a testament to the power of a good melody, a timeless story of love and loss, and of course, Connie’s incredible vocal talent.
“Who’s Sorry Now?” is one of those songs that just stays with you. The melody is simple, yet incredibly catchy. The lyrics tell a tale we’ve all experienced at some point – the pain of a broken heart, the sting of regret, and perhaps a touch of bitterness towards the one who caused it all.
But what truly sets this song apart is Connie’s delivery. Her voice soars through the verses, capturing the vulnerability and the raw emotion of the lyrics. And when she hits that chorus, with a force that belies her young age, you can’t help but feel every word.
This song became a signature for Connie Francis, a tune that’s instantly recognizable and forever associated with her name. It’s a testament to her talent, her ability to connect with audiences across generations, and a reminder that some songs truly stand the test of time.
So, if you’re in the mood for a trip down memory lane, or if you simply want to experience the magic of a classic, give “Who’s Sorry Now?” a listen. Let Connie’s voice transport you back to a simpler time, when music had a way of speaking directly to the soul.

Lyrics
Who’s sorry now?
Who’s sorry now?
Whose heart is achin’ for breakin’ each vow?
Who’s sad and blue? Who’s cryin’ too?
Just like I cried over you
Right to the end
Just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way
Now you must pay
I’m glad that you’re sorry now
Right to the end
Just like a friend
I tried to warn you somehow
You had your way
Now you must pay
I’m glad that you’re sorry now
