I got back home vs I just came back home

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'I got back home' implies a simple statement of returning home. 'I just came back home' emphasizes the recentness of the action. The choice between the two depends on the context and the level of emphasis on the timing of the return.
