Rick Nielsen wrote "Just Got Back" by himself, words and music, for All Shook Up, the fifth Cheap Trick studio album, released in 1980, and the band worked out the arrangement together. Behind the desk sat George Martin, the Beatles' old producer, with Geoff Emerick engineering: the first time since the debut that anyone but Tom Werman had produced a Cheap Trick studio record.
Having cut loose from Werman, the band used the break to steer its sound somewhere new, and All Shook Up came out even quirkier than the platinum Dream Police before it, less tailored for radio and more willing to experiment. Only "Stop This Game" made the Billboard Hot 100, but "Just Got Back" is one of the tracks the fans never let go of.
