It was written by lead vocalist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea, and produced by Chas Chandler.

In the band's 1984 biography Feel the Noize!, Lea recalled: ""Take Me Bak 'Ome" was an old song I'd had kicking around for ages.

Lea suggested he change the ab-libs after the original one gave him the idea for the band's next single "Mama Weer All Crazee Now".

[12] "Take Me Bak 'Ome" was released on 7" vinyl by Polydor Records in the UK, Ireland, across Europe, Scandinavia, Turkey, America, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Israel, Lebanon, Singapore and Japan.

[15] Upon release, Record Mirror described the song as a "riff-based number" and commented on Holder's "strident, straight-through-a-brick-wall voice".

[16] New Musical Express said the song was a "strong rocker", showing the "power and punch the band proudly sports" in comparison to the previous two singles.

[17] In a retrospective song review by AllMusic, Dave Thompson said: "Neither of its predecessors, "Coz I Luv You" or "Look Wot You Dun," had attempted to capture the feel of Slade in full flight.
