"get you back" means "get back at you"? You pranked me. Now I'll get you back. (get back at you) It means the same thing, right? "get you back" also means "to have you back into my life again" too, right? Thank you.

Both are correct.

You can say either "I'll get you back" or "I'll get back at you" if you are pranked. They mean the same thing. To "get someone back" can either mean the above or it can mean trying to rekindle a romance with someone that you were already in a relationship with that had broken up. So, if you broke up with your girlfriend/boyfriend but wanted to date again, you would say "I want to get back with ______" or "I want _____ back".

Yes, "get you back" and "get back at you" mean the same thing. But the context means a lot when you use these words and you will find situations where they don't mean the same thing. These two sentences mean exactly the same thing... "You pranked me, I'll get you back!" "You pranked me, I'll get back at you!" When talking about romance, these two sentences have different meanings... "You left me, I'll get you back!" - means the person will try to fix the problem and restart the romance. "You left me, I'll get back at you!" - means the person will seek revenge because you left. You notice that I finished my sentences with an exclamation mark (!). That's because the words aren't passive and they sort of demand that extra !!!!! at the end.

Hey, I don't think "Get you back" can mean, "get back at you", or at least I haven't seen it used that way. "Get you back" does mean to "gave you back into my life again", it's usually used in romantic contexts like songs and stories. Hope it helps :)
