[5] Similarly, the group now had to face the challenges of being national stars, being chased around by girls around Gothenburg, which took its toll on the band members, who still had to keep up with school while recording.

[10][5] In April 1965 however, Platina signed a contract with EMI Records which lent them their studio on Sandhamnsgatan in Gärdet, Stockholm.

[5] Upon finalizing their recordings on 6 May, the session resulted in four songs, "Don't Turn Your Back", "Forget Him", "Donna" and "Hound Dog".

Platina did not keep "Don't Turn Your Back" in their vaults for that long as a follow-up to "I Should Be Glad" had to be released, as it had begun to drop out of the charts at the time.

[14] Released in time for their summer tour,[11] it similarly to its predecessors became a huge commercial success on both Sweden's record charts Kvällstoppen and Tio i Topp.

[5] It was however featured as the lead track from their eponymous debut EP, released three weeks after the single on 4 June 1965,[11] and following the group's contract with Platina expiring in 1967,[8] also included on Hits Volym 1 in August 1967.

[17][18] That same month, a compilation album named The Best Of Tages was released, which included "Don't Turn Your Back" as the third track.
