"Step Back" shared a double A-side single with "Slide" in 2001, both pulled from The Prize Recruit, the debut album by Australian nu metal outfit Superheist, released on Shock. Guitarist DW Norton, singer Burger McLeod and Fetah Sabawi, the band's synth and sampler man, co-wrote it, and Kalju Tonuma produced the album.

It did not match the previous two singles on the charts, though it did crack the ARIA top 100. The packaging was a neat trick: a cardboard sleeve over the jewel case, with a flip-around alternative cover carrying concept art for each of the two A-sides. Only "Step Back" got a music video.
