A música foi escrita pelo compositor Willie Dixon e gravada por Howlin' Wolf em 1960.
A letra faz referência a um termo cultural do sul dos EUA que descreve um caso extraconjugal.
Back Door Man tornou‑se um dos poucos temas de Dixon que passaram a ser interpretados por bandas de rock nos anos 1960.
A banda The Doors gravou a faixa para o álbum de estreia homônimo de 1967.
O disco dos Doors ajudou a popularizar o blues nos Estados Unidos e na Europa, consolidando o legado de Howlin' Wolf entre músicos contemporâneos.
