"Where or When" is a show tune from the 1937 Rodgers and Hart musical Babes In Arms. It was first performed by Ray Heatherton and Mitzi Green. That same year, Hal Kemp recorded a popular version. It also appeared in the movie of the same title two years later. Then, Dion and the Belmonts also released a successful remake of the song, and made it a number three hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in January, 1960.

In 1963, The Lettermen released their version as a single. It became a minor hit for them on the Hot 100.

It was also recorded by the Pasadena Roof Orchestra on their 2002 CD Here and Now.
