There have a lot of unsubstantiated rumors regarding the meaning behind this song’s lyrics. A popular rumor is that “6 to 4” was a nickname for LSD, because if you dropped acid at 6 p.m., the effects of the drug would wear off by 4 a.m., 10 hours later. Lamm has stated that the title is “just a reference to the time of day” and that “the song is about writing a song. It’s not mystical.” The title serves as an answer to a concurrent Chicago song “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”. The answer is 25 or 26 minutes to 4 o’clock
The song was edited and released as a single in June that year, climbing to number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and number seven on the UK Singles Chart. This recording features an electric guitar solo using a wah-wah pedal by Chicago guitarist Terry Kath, and has been included in numerous Chicago compilation albums.
An updated version of “25 or 6 to 4” was recorded for the 1986 album Chicago 18 with James Pankow listed as co-writer. With the new band member Jason Scheff on lead vocals, the single reached number 48 on the U.S. chart. This version was also used as the B-side for the band’s next single in 1986, “Will You Still Love Me?”.
