In 1973 the band recruited an 18 year old Michael Schenker from the band Scorpions. This marked a departure from their space rock sound to a more hard edged rock sound. They released a string of critically acclaimed rock albums in the 70s that gained them a following in America and made them stars in the UK. Around the time of the 1978 release of Obsession, tensions between Schenker and Mogg were mounting. UFO arguably reached their peak at this time. In 1978 they toured extensively and recorded material for the double live album Strangers in the Night which was released in 1979. This album is considered by many fans and critics to be one of the best live rock albums ever produced. Immediately after the Strangers in the Night tour Michael Schenker left the band.
After this period UFO's popularity began to decline as they continue to release material. In 1988 they disbanded due to lackluster sales, decline in popularity, and their inability to (or perhaps refusal to) capitalize on the popularity of the glam rock movement. But the hiatus was short lived.
In 1992 Mogg and Way put together another UFO lineup that met with some new interest from fans. In 1993 the original UFO got back together (with Schenker) and the result was 1995's Walk on Water, which some consider to be one of the best comeback rock albums ever.
Schenker re-joined and quit UFO many times in the early 2000s. Due to Schenker's instability as a band member (and erratic tour behavior) Mogg eventually gained full control of the UFO band brand and Schenker is now forever from the picture (most likely).
UFO has released 20 studio albums, and many live/compilation albums. Though the lineup has changed many times over the years the core members of the band were usually involved along the way: Phil Mogg (vocals), Pete Way (bass), Andy Parker (drums), and Paul Raymond (guitar).
UFO's influence was strongly felt in the '80s metal scene and they have been cited as a primary influence of Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, and Iron Maiden who gives thanks to UFO in the liner note of The Number of the Beast.

The lyrics of "Back into my Life" describe a man wandering aimlessly on a cold night, missing a special someone who is no longer around. He's haunted by the memories of times spent together, feeling lonely and desperate to find a way to fill the void left behind. The song talks about how the man watches the other couples walking and embracing, lost in their own world, and wonders where his love has gone. He sees women passing by, but they are only strangers, nothing compared to the girl he misses. He's left feeling like a loser who has made mistakes and is constantly searching for a way to make things better.
Line by Line Meaning
It's another night out on the avenue
Tonight, like many other nights before, you find yourself walking along the busy street.
Looking for something, something that you knew
You search for something, something that you remember having lost.
And you're wondering where she is
You're longing for someone who's no longer by your side and you're not sure where to find her.
Now there's no more rendezvous
You realize there's no point in trying to go back to how things were, because that time has passed.
Those ooh la la la girls in their skirts they go rushing by
You see attractive women in short skirts walking past you in a hurry.
They look around and give you that come on
Some of them look at you suggestively and invite you to approach them.
With their dreamy dreamy eyes
They appear to be daydreaming or fantasizing as they walk.
Then you never stop to count your mistakes
You don't reflect on the regrets and missteps you've made in the past.
That one blind moment with no give and take
You once had an opportunity to truly connect with someone and it was lost due to a lack of mutual engagement.
Is lost in every stranger's face you see
Any chance of recapturing that moment seems impossible with every stranger you meet.
If there's a loser that loser's me
You accept that you're the one who's missed out on fully experiencing love and connection.
Please put a little love back into my life
You're hoping that someone can fill the void that you feel inside and bring you the love and joy you seek.
Won't you please put a little love back into my life
You make a plea for anyone who may be listening to help you get out of your emotional rut and bring love back into your life.
Every night's another night you keep looking back
Each night feels like an endless cycle of looking back on what you once had and feeling a sense of loss.
Trying to fill the spaces hours and the minutes and the missing gaps
You attempt to fill the void that's present in your life with activities and distractions, but they never truly fill the emptiness.
Every shadow's like a ghost that comes and haunts you
The darkness all around reminds you of your lost love and haunts you with memories of what could have been.
Angel of the night plays her tricks today it's true
It seems as if fate is playing games with you and your emotions, causing even more confusion and uncertainty.
With every step, every step you see her slip away
The farther you walk and the more time passes, the more you feel that the person you're longing for slips further away from you.
Not just today
This isn't just a momentary feeling, but a recurring theme in your life.
