Want You Back (Haim Song)
"Want You Back" is a song by American band Haim from their second studio album, ''Something to Tell You'' (2017). It was released on May 3, 2017, as the album's lead single. The song was written by Haim with its producer Ariel Rechtshaid.

Alana explained that increasing the tempo made the group's harmonies more difficult yet helped identify it as a Haim song. Composition and lyrics "Want You Back" was co-produced by Ariel Rechtshaid, who band member Danielle Haim had been dating at the time. "Want You Back" is a pop rock song wi ...
