Two Doors Down (Dolly Parton song)

"Two Doors Down" is a song written and performed by Dolly Parton, which was a 1978 U.S. country and pop hit for her.

The song is sung from the perspective of a woman who has just broken up with her boyfriend and is debating attending a party two doors down the hall from her apartment.

While Lehr's version was on the country charts, the title cut of Here You Come Again was becoming a much bigger pop hit than Parton had anticipated.

Wanting to capitalize on her newfound pop success (and also not wanting to compete with Lehr's country version of the song) Parton rerecorded a more loose, pop-oriented version of "Two Doors Down" with a slight disco flavoring.

The original version of "Two Doors Down" was subsequently issued on vinyl in 1978 on the UK & Ireland compilation Both Sides of Dolly Parton and on CD in 2000 on the 3-CD Australian compilation Legendary Dolly Parton.
