"Goin' Home" is a song popularized by American rhythm and blues and rock and roll pianist and singer Fats Domino. It was released in 1952 as a single and became one of his early hits. The song is a blues-infused number, characterized by Domino's signature rolling piano style and his distinctive, relaxed vocals. The lyrics speak of the singer's longing to return home and the anticipation he feels as he gets closer. "Goin' Home" contributed to Domino's rise to fame and helped establish his place in the burgeoning rock and roll scene. While not as widely known as some of his later hits like "Blueberry Hill" or "Ain't That a Shame," "Goin' Home" remains a significant early recording in his discography, showcasing his talent and laying the groundwork for his subsequent success.
