With Johnson, they completed the song-writing that was started while Bon Scott was still alive and began recording Back in Black, also produced by Lange. This became their biggest-selling album, a hard-rock landmark .
The song Back In Black, was the first album recorded after Bon Scott died viewed by most as the band telling the world that the band wasn't over despite the loss of their former lead singer.
It was designed as a tribute to former singer Bon Scott, who died the year before, and was built on a theme of mortality and hedonism. Back in black I hit the sack I've been too long I'm glad to be back Yes, I'm let loose From the noose That's kept me hanging about I've been looking at the sky 'Cause it's gettin' me high Forget the hearse 'cause I never die I got nine lives Cat's eyes Abusin' every one of them and running wild CHORUS: 'Cause I'm back Yes, I'm back Well, I'm back Yes, I'm back Well, I'm back, back I'm back in black Yes, I'm back in black Back in the back Of a Cadillac Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack I'm in a bang With a gang They've got to catch me if they want me to hang Cause I'm back on the track And I'm beatin' the flack Nobody's gonna get me on another rap So look at me now I'm just makin' my play Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way
Yes, AC/DC was in mourning after the death of Bonn Scot who was replaced by Brian Johnson. Bonn asphyxiated on his own vomit after a night of binge drinking. This was the tribute album to him!
"Back in Black" ... this is a financial term which indicates that their balance sheet is in the "black".. which is good of course, red is bad... so to be in the black means your making money and doing well financially. So they are back from the red and into the black now. That's just how I see the meaning. I could be wrong.
it was writen after the frist lead vocalice Bon Scott dead of choking on his puke. And the band is saying hey we are back in black. Because Black is what you wear when you a in mourning.

It's like most of AC-DC's songs. Just good ol' rock n roll and no deep meaning...
