Narrative:
Just after takeoff at ord both pilots heard and acknowledged a frequency change to departure control. Departure control reported radar contact then told us to return to tower frequency. Tower told us to turn to a 180 degree heading and then switched us back to departure control. Evidently I switched to departure early. Departure control said there was no conflict, but was not sure if there was a problem with tower. This is additional information to previous report. The tower controller was working 2 runways 22L and 27L. I probably heard him switch the runway 22L traffic to departure and assumed it was our flight departing runway 27L.
