With an inside panel

Choose With inside panel above the card in the designer and it gains a fourth panel, the same size as the front, that folds in behind the cover. On Wave it carries a recording index under a band of waves: a dedication, the tracklist and the credits.

It still prints on one side of the paper, so there's nothing to line up. Add a dedication, notes or lyrics, and credits in the designer's More options.
