"Get Her Back" is a song by American recording artist Robin Thicke. The song was released on May 19, 2014 via Star Trak Entertainment and Interscope Records as the lead single from the album Paula. The song was written as an attempt to reconcile with his wife, actress Paula Patton, whom he had separated from in February 2014. Thicke performed and premiered the song live at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, which generated attention before and after the awards ceremony. The single peaked at #82 on the Billboard Hot 100.

After nine years of marriage, Thicke and his wife, American actress Paula Patton, separated in February 2014. Having been together in a relationship since they were teenagers and then marrying in 2005, Thicke made various public attempts to reconcile with his wife, including dedicating concert performances to her. In May 2014, it was announced that he would premiere a new song at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards titled "Get Her Back". Days before the awards ceremony, TMZ obtained a copy of the lyrics that seemingly addressed his separation and his desire to get back with Patton. The song was co-written by guitarist and long-time Thicke collaborator, Bobby Keyes.

The single "Get Her Back" was released on May 19, 2014, and Thicke debuted the song that day at the Billboard Music Awards. The song has been described as a "heartfelt" ballad that is dedicated to his estranged wife, Patton. Lyrically, the protagonist expresses regret and sadness over his part in a failed relationship ("I should've kissed you longer/I should've held you stronger") and how he is willing to reconcile and make amends with his lover ("All I wanna do is make it right...I gotta get her, go get her back/I gotta treat her right/I gotta cherish her for life.")

"Get Her Back" was released as digital download to various music digital retailers on May 19, 2014, one day after he premiered the song at the Billboard Music Awards.
