"Back in the U.K." is a song by German group Scooter. It was released in November 1995 as the lead single from their 1996 album Our Happy Hardcore. In the United Kingdom it became their biggest hit ever up to that point, entering at number 18 in the UK Singles Chart in February 1996. It would remain their highest charting single until the release of "The Logical Song" in 2002, which reached number 2. The song was re-recorded as "Back in Ireland" for the Irish market.
