Taking Me Back

[4] The song features a relatively minimal arrangement in which White himself plays every instrument, such as guitar with effects over it paired with drums and other percussion as well as various synthesizers.

[6][7] Jack White first hinted at new music in an interview with Telegraph on September 30, 2021, while a more straightforward tease was made in a post on his official Instagram account on October 14.

[14][15] On January 7, 2022, White uploaded a video of an in-studio live rehearsal of the track to YouTube to introduce the lineup of his backing band for the Supply Chain Issues Tour that he would begin on April 8 of that year in support of both Fear of the Dawn and Entering Heaven Alive.

[18] White performed the song as part of a medley with the title track of Fear of the Dawn on the February 25, 2023, episode of Saturday Night Live.

[21] Wall of Sound commented that "White is on point more than ever and spills awesome grooves across the track", additionally stating that the song's pairing with its mellow counterpart shows "[impressive] diversity" and that "the concept of two different versions is fantastic".
