"25 or 6 to 4" is a song written by American musician Robert Lamm, one of the founding members of the band Chicago. It was recorded in August 1969 for their second album, Chicago, with Peter Cetera on lead vocals,{{cite AV media notes|title=Chicago Group Portrait (Box Set)|year=1991|url=http://aln3.albumlinernotes.com/Group_Portrait.html|access-date=February 14, 2017|format=album liner notes archived online|publisher=Columbia Records|location=New York City|archive-date=December 29, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201229045301/http://aln3.albumlinernotes.com/Group_Portrait.html|url-status=dead}} and released as a single in June 1970.
Composition
In a 2013 interview, Robert Lamm said he composed "25 or 6 to 4" on a 12-string guitar with only 10 strings. According to Lamm, "It didn't have the two low Es." He wrote the lyrics in one day. The band first rehearsed the song at the Whisky a Go Go.{{cite interview |last=Lamm |first=Robert |last2=Loughnane |first2=Lee |last3=Scheff |first3=Jason |last4=Pardini |first4=Lou |interviewer=Danny Lake |title=Exclusive Interview with Chicago! |url=http://www.947wls.com/2013/10/24/exclusive-interview-with-chicago |at=time 11:54-13:43 |publisher=94.7 WLS-FM |location=Chicago |date=October 24, 2013 |type=Radio and video |access-date=February 19, 2019}}
Lamm said the song is about trying to write a song in the middle of the night. The song's title is the time at which the song is set: 25 or 26 minutes before 4 a.m., phrased as, "twenty-five or [twenty-]six [minutes] to four [o’clock]," (i.e. 03:35 or 03:34).{{cite interview |last=Lamm |first=Robert |subject-link=Robert Lamm |interviewer=Devon Maloney |title=Chicago Comes to Agganis |url=http://www.bu.edu/today/2009/chicago-comes-to-agganis/ |work=BU Today |publisher=Boston University |date=2009-06-15|access-date=2017-02-13 |quote=It's a reference to time.

The song's opening guitar riff has been compared to chord progressions and riffs in other songs. In the opinion of writer Melissa Locker:
{{quote

LA Weekly{{'}}s music editor, Andy Hermann, names it "The Riff" and describes it as follows:
{{quote
|text=It's a descending five-chord pattern, typically played as power chords over four bars, with the last two chords sharing the last bar.

Hermann details the riff's similarity to the chord progression in Led Zeppelin's version of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" by Anne Bredon, which came out a year before "25 or 6 to 4", and the similarity of that chord progression to one in George Harrison's song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", which came out even earlier. He labels "Brain Stew", released in 1996, as "derivative" by comparison to "25 or 6 to 4".
Original version
The original recording features an electric guitar solo using a wah-wah pedal by Chicago guitarist Terry Kath, and a lead vocal line in the Aeolian mode.{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/whattolistenfori0000step |url-access=registration |title=What to Listen For in Rock: A Stylistic Analysis |publisher=Yale University Press |last1=Stephenson |first1=Ken |date=2002 |isbn=978-0-300-09239-4 |page=[https://archive.org/details/whattolistenfori0000step/page/39 39] |access-date=February 25, 2017}}
According to the recollections of producer James William Guercio and horn player Lee Loughnane, Cetera had to record the vocal while his jaw was still wired together after he had been attacked at a baseball game at Dodger Stadium on May 20, 1969. Guercio said he told Cetera, "I can't wait, we're gonna do this."{{Cite web |last=Hurwitz |first=Matt |date=2019-07-12 |title=Classic Tracks: “25 or 6 to 4” |url=https://www.mixonline.com/recording/chicago-25-or-6-to-4 |access-date=2024-03-22 |website=Mixonline |language=en-US}}
