“Get Back” was written by Paul McCartney and credited to the songwriting partnership of Lennon-McCartney. The lyrics convey a straightforward message about the desire to return to a simpler and more authentic way of life, which was in line with the band’s intention to get back to their rock ‘n’ roll roots during the recording sessions for the “Let It Be” album.
