"Get Back" is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney (though largely the work of McCartney), and originally released as a single on 11 April 1969 and credited to "The Beatles with Billy Preston". It would later become the closing track of The Beatles' last album to be released before they split, Let It Be (1970). The single reached number one in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, France, and West Germany, and was The Beatles' only single that credited another artist (Preston). The single was The Beatles' first single release in true stereo in the U.S. — in the UK they remained monaural records until the following single release — "The Ballad of John and Yoko".
