"Step Back" / "Slide" is a double A-side single by Australian nu metal group, Superheist from their debut album, The Prize Recruit.[1] Both tracks were co-written by Richard William "DW" Norton on lead guitar and backing vocals; Roderick "Burger" McLeod on lead vocals; and Fetah Sabawi on synthesisers and samplers.[1][2][3] It had less chart success than the previous two singles, although it reached the top 100 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[4] The album, including both tracks, was produced by Kalju Tonuma.[2] The cover was a cardboard sheath over a jewel-case CD featuring a flip style alternative cover with concept art for the two A-sides. Only "Step Back" was provided with promotional music video.
