"Want You Back" originally started out as a much slower song, with Este Haim describing the first iteration as "More like a cool acoustic guitar type." It stayed like this for a long period of time until the band took it to one of their default producers after feeling that "Something did not work with this song", ultimately suggesting that they adjust the tempo of the song to 30 beats per minute faster than it was originally written. Alana explains that the increase in tempo makes group harmony more difficult but helps identify it as Haim's song.

Composition and lyrics
"Want You Back" was produced jointly by Ariel Rechtshaid, whose band member Danielle Haim had been dating at the time. "Want You Back" is a pop rock song with 1970s music influences. Danielle provided the lead vocal on the track, "asking for forgiveness from her ex, she was forced to leave." According to Pitchfork's Laura Snapes, the singer claimed to have been selfish in the past, expressing a willingness to welcome love back into his life that "resonates" throughout the verse of the song. Described as a battle between head and heart, Danielle's vocals eventually joined her sister, who supported her decision once she "stopped explaining herself" and finally "begged her case from the roof". Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic describes the chorus of the song as a "longing and pitter-patter" that shows the tendency of women's signatures to do mutual syllables and "quick-fire phrases", along with self-repeating phrases and modulate to the point that "seems familiar as the people's standards".
The lyrics, "Want You Back" is about the lost love, where the band reflects on the previous relationship that they consider ordinary. However, Kornhaber observes that the title may refer to Haim fans who have craved the band's return for four years since the release of their debut album, boasting in a similar and different voice from their previous work. Danielle sang the first bar song accompanied by a piano and an acoustic guitar, before she joined Este and Alana who sang, "saying from the beginning/saying you will always see it through", accompanying Danielle's line, "I say we're the opposite. trying to prove me wrong, and I know that I have dropped you, so you run with your heart. "The following pre-chorus, which Kornhaber identifies as" a less intense rendition of the chorus "; Danielle's phrase "I will take the fall and the error within us" reinforces the theme of the parent album "that relationship is difficult", according to The Guardian critic Kitty Empire. Finally, Rechtshaid contributed additional instruments such as the synthesizer, which also contributed to the melody and context of the song, and the key gum for the song as the ballads continued to build, arranging harmony in a way that showed "futuristic or strange atmosphere". Other instruments include "power ballad-decent chord" and "pitch-shifting vocal riff"; this song also features some animal sound effects, which music journalists have identified the sound of pigeons and horse gulls. The producer instruments continued playing after the band members finished singing, including a high-pitched choir.
This song has drawn comparisons with other artists and musicians, especially bands and bands that precede Haim. Snapes observes that the single resembles the work of Don Henley and Christine McVie of The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, respectively, until "the chorus swells and shakes like Lindsey Buckingham in the hottest, sprinkled with restless digital chats." Snapes also compared "Want You Back" with The Jackson 5, titled the same as 1969 with the single "I Want You Back", except that "there are tentative words for Danielle's words." Meanwhile, Kornhaber describes "Want You Back" as a retro combination of pop music of the 1980s and 1990s that resembles the work of Fleetwood Mac, Prince and, albeit to a lesser extent, Def Leppard.
Critical reception
Shortly after its release, "Want You Back" got the title of "Best New Track" from Pitchfork. Chris Willman describes Danielle's voice as "a song as beautiful as Sara Bareilles", although Bareilles who spend more time absorbing the hit R & amp; B is modern and is not afraid of inorganic instrumental sleep. "Ben Dandridge-Lemco from The Fader called the song" beats pop-rock songs about taking love for granted. "NPR Music's Lars Gotrich says Haim does" illuminate, in a mosaic arrangement, an enchanted love movement "Gotrich also notes the influence of Lindsey Buckingham with the" touch of handlap ballad " Bad - Michael" Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone says the song "is very influential on the influence of Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac of Haim. "In a less positive review, Spencer Kornhaber of The Atlantic found" Want You Back "to be overproduced and criticized the production of Rechtshaid, which critics criticized with" what the band did "and called him the vocal harmony manipulation of" the most widely used gimmick of pop music recently. "However, Kornhaber concluded that the chorus of the song and the" sense of gathering momentum should deliver the fan of the familiar sensations, from the studio rifle. "
Pitchfork rated the 27th largest song of the year by 2017, with contributor Olivia Horn writing that Danielle's vocals "reached a rhythmic stream that simultaneously flexed its power as lyricist, vocalist and percussionist. that, paired with a healthy dose of idiosyncrasi, we have sung back in Haim. "
