Get Back is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney (though largely the work of McCartney with a great contribution by Lennon during the recording), originally released as a single credited to "The Beatles and Billy Preston" in 1969. It would later become the closing track of the Beatles' last album to be released, Let It Be (1970). The single reached number one-status in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, France, and West Germany, and was the Beatles' only single that credited another artist — Billy Preston. The American single was the Beatles' first single release in true stereo.

Bootlegs later released indicated that the Beatles had recorded an alternate version telling Pakistani immigrants to the United Kingdom to "get back" to their native land. The Beatles and McCartney, the principal composer, took heavy criticism for the alternate version, despite their insistence that it was meant as political satire, and not racial intolerance.
