Both wanted to do 'Unchained Melody' for their fourth album, but Hatfield won the coin toss. It was originally released as the 'B' side of the single 'Hung On You'. However, that song failed to interest radio DJs, who instead chose to play the 'B' side. There is uncertainty over who produced the song, as Phil Spector took the credit on many tracks and 'B' sides that were actually produced by Bill Medley. However, Medley, who had produced the duo before they signed with Spector and Philles, consistently stated that he produced this recording.

Early copies of the song didn't credit a producer, and only credited Spector after it became a hit. Hatfield made a change to the song during the recording sessions.

He initially recorded a couple of takes as it was written, but returned later, changing the melody for the "I need your love" line in the final verse, singing it much higher.

Hatfield said he could do another take better, to which Medley replied: "No, you can't. Bill Medley played the Wurlitzer piano on the song, later saying that "if I knew that it was gonna be a hit I certainly would have brought in a better piano player".
