"Back to the Shack" is a song by the American rock band Weezer. It was released as the first single from their ninth studio album ''Everything Will Be Alright in the End'' on July 22, 2014. The song was sent to radio stations and uploaded to Weezer's YouTube channel a day before the single's official release. It was written in response to the band's past several albums, with lead vocalist Rivers Cuomo wanting to return to their roots. The song received generally favorable reviews. ==Background and composition==
"Back to the Shack" was written by Rivers Cuomo and Jacob Kasher Hindlin. The song was produced by Ric Ocasek. Cuomo wrote a majority of the song, with Karl Koch describing Jacob Kasher Hindlin's contribution to the song as "randomly singing out the title while hanging out on the couch listening to (Cuomo ) strumming the song. It doesn't take much to get half a songwriting credit."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=allthingsweezer )〕 At one point, the song was performed with the bridge containing the lyric "we belong in the rock zone", before Cuomo, based on fan suggestions changed it from "rock zone" to "rock world". Regarding the composition of the song, Cuomo stated that he "tried to find different melodies and different beats and all these different things." Further, he stated that as he "couldn't crack the code" they had to go ahead and record it anyway. Ocasek introduced a synth melody line to the song during this period.〔 Cuomo explained that the lyrics refer to how he feels bad for the direction the band has taken on some of their past material. He admitted that sometimes he "went over the edge". He explained his desire to create "a classic alt-rock record." The word "shack" serves as a reference to Amherst house, a home where some of the original Weezer members had lived and recorded a few of their demos. Lyrically, "Back to the Shack" deals with the theme of nostalgia and a wish to return "to (band's ) 1994 roots". Dave Lewis stated the song serves as a thematic continuation of two previous Weezer songs, "In the Garage" and "Memories".〔 It also deals with Weezer's relationship with their fans and serves as "basically an apology for the past two decades and a promise to embrace their nerdy roots." The song's opening lines—"I'm sorry guys, I didn't realize that I needed you so much"—in particular reinforce this theme.〔 The song has been categorized under alternative rock and power pop.
