It was released on November 9, 2010,[http://www.iamsoundrecords.com/store/men/ IAmSound Records] available on 7" vinyl, 12" vinyl and CD single/EP. The track had previously been released on June 25, 2009 by "MEN MAKE MUSIC" (self-released) on a digital EP called "Limited Edition Demo" that included four tracks: the main single, two more songs - 'Credit Card Babies' and 'Simultaneously' - that would also later appear on Talk About Body, and the 'Jeppe's Money is a Major Issue Remix'. The title of the song is a nod to the feminist magazine of the same name "off our backs". The song's video features a tug-o-war between men and women with close-ups of sexually-implicit movements between members of the same sex. Track listingQuotations"'Off Our Backs' is an addictive slice of electro brilliance, a sure-fire, 21st century pop anthem, with a soaraway chorus (Im/A tease/For nothing you cant see) and instantly memorable melody." - 'Hive Magazine' VideosIn addition to the official video released by IAMSOUND Records and directed by Bryce Kass to coincide with the release of the single in November 2010, there were also two popular fan videos, one by K8 Hardy uploaded to YouTube April 14, 2009, and the other a live online recording from MEN's performance of the song from episode 4 of 'Dinner With the Band', uploaded to YouTube December 16, 2009.
