It was written for Bob Hope in the musical "Roberta." The Platters were about the fifth when they recorded it later.

"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" is a song written by American composer Jerome Kern and lyricist Otto Harbach for their 1933 Broadway musical Roberta. It has been covered various times by numerous artists, but possibly the most famous cover of the song was recorded in 1959 by the doo wop group The Platters, which became a number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. A 1972 remake by British band Blue Haze also became popular. The song was featured in the 1973 film American Graffiti, and more recently in the 2004 Golden Globe-winning film Being Julia. Saxophone player Boots Randolph also did an acoustic cover of the song on the B-side of his LP Yakety Sax.
The Platters' rendition is also the centerpiece song to Steven Spielberg's 1989 film Always.
