The story behind the song

"Back Street Girl," a waltz featured on the UK version of the Rolling Stones' 1967 album Between the Buttons, offers a departure from their usual sound with its unique instrumentation, including vibraphone, harpsichord, and accordion. Co-written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Jagger himself expressed a particular fondness for this song from the album. It plays like a tender, perhaps melancholic, reflection, inviting the listener into a more intimate, less raucous side of the iconic band.
