"Want You Back" is a song by American band Haim from their second studio album, Something to Tell You (2017). It was released on May 3, 2017 as the album's lead single.

Shortly after its release, "Want You Back" garnered the "Best New Track" title from Pitchfork. Writer Laura Snapes wrote there is an "openness" that "reverberates through [the song's] verses, which have a Don Henley glimmer and a Christine McVie yearning, and "shudders like Lindsey Buckingham at his most overheated". Ben Dandridge-Lemco of The Fader called the track a "pounding pop-rock tune about taking love for granted".NPR Music's Lars Gotrich says Haim does "illuminate, in a mosaic arrangement, the awestruck motions of love". Gotrich also notes the Lindsey Buckingham influences with "a touch of Michael Jackson's Bad-era handclap ballads". Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone says the song "leans heavily on Haim's Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac influences".

The one-shot music video for "Want You Back" was directed by Jake Schreier and filmed at dawn in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, on a deserted Ventura Boulevard between Beverly Glen and Van Nuys boulevards. It premiered on June 22, 2017. The video opens with Danielle staring into the distance while standing on the corner of Ventura Boulevard and Beverly Glen. She is soon joined by Este and Alana as the trio walks and dances down Ventura Boulevard.

Haim performed "Want You Back" live on television for the first time on Saturday Night Live on May 13, 2017.
