"Back in the USSR" was written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon-McCartney. The song was primarily inspired by Chuck Berry's "Back in the U.S.A." and the Beach Boys' "California Girls." McCartney wrote it during a period when tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union were high, particularly during the Cold War era.
The song's lyrics, which humorously depict a traveler returning to the Soviet Union and enjoying the sights and sounds of the country, were partially influenced by McCartney's interest in Russian culture and his desire to create a fun, upbeat song. At the same time, it can be interpreted as a playful response to the Beach Boys' celebration of California culture in "California Girls."
"Back in the USSR" reflects McCartney's songwriting style of blending catchy melodies with witty lyrics and incorporating influences from various musical genres and cultural contexts.
