"Back Down South" (also called "Southbound") is a song by American rock band Kings of Leon and the fourth single from their 2010 album Come Around Sundown.
A music video to accompany the release of "Back Down South" was first released onto YouTube on May 27, 2011 at a total length of four minutes and five seconds. It was directed by Casey McGrath with part of the filming in Nashville,TN and the other half in Hampshire,TN. William Goodman of Spin described the video as "an advert for their country way of life."
Scott Shelter from PopCrush gave the song an 8/10 grade, commenting, "With a dash of twang and an intentional down-home appeal, ‘Back Down South’ wouldn’t sound out of place at a country music festival or awards show. It’s a welcome change of pace from the arena-rock direction of the band’s recent music."
Kings of Leon first performed the song during their summer tour 2010. They also performed it on Later... with Jools Holland.
