"Getcha Back" is a song written by Mike Love and Terry Melcher for the American pop band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1985 album The Beach Boys. It was the band's first release since the tragic drowning death of Dennis Wilson in 1983. While the song only peaked at #26 nationally, "Getcha Back" managed to recapture the sound and feel of the Beach Boys' early hits.
The music video directed by Dominic Orlando, was filmed on location in Malibu and Venice, California. (1985). It featured a then unknown Katherine Kelly Lang, who now plays Brooke Logan on The Bold and the Beautiful.
Mark McGrath, lead singer of the California rock band Sugar Ray, performed a cover of this song for the soundtrack of Herbie: Fully Loaded, a Walt Disney Pictures movie released in 2005. It appears at the beginning, during the flashback of Herbie's racing career.
