“get back to where you onced belonged”
The Beatles’ hit single 'Get Back' was recorded and released in 1969, the year when the four Beatles were at wits end. A year later, Paul McCartney announced that the Beatles has broken up.
There are numerous reasons as to why the famous band broke up. These include financial and legal conflicts, departures, differences in artistic vision, including George Harrison having to compete to fit more of his songs in albums. Another famous reason for their break-up is Yoko Ono.
John Lennon was in a fragile state of mind after returning from the band's trip in India in early 1968. But what kept him grounded according to him was his intense interest on Yoko Ono,a Japanese-American conceptual artist. The two were almost always together, even as Lennon was working with the rest of the band in the studio. This violated a previous tacit agreement between the members not to let wives or girlfriends into the studio.
In addition, as Lennon's artistic infatuation with Ono grew, he desired that she would be allotted artistic input into the band's recordings. Frequently, Ono would comment or make suggestions in the recording studio, which only served to increase the friction between her and Lennon's bandmates
So when it came for the band to record Paul McCartney’s song Get Back, they did something sly. John Lennon claimed in 1980 that "there's some underlying thing about Yoko in there", claiming that McCartney looked at Yoko Ono in the studio every time he sang "Get back to where you once belonged”.
